I AM A TEACHER
I am a teacher not because I went to college
Not because I am taught how to teach
Not because I am paid salary
Not because I have to teach to live
Not because there are no 'better jobs'
Not because I'm compelled.
Not because I want to be called Sir/Master.
I AM A TEACHER because it is my CALLING.
Sometimes I look at my certificate, my school, my pupils as I compare it with my salary, I laugh
When I look at what I teach, how i teach it, I thank God for taking me through college.
But when I sit down and look at the past, how the end has been for some teachers as compared to other professionals, I feel sorry for the profession.
But when I remember that it is the TEACHER that produces all other professionals, I feel blessed.
I am SATISFIED when I see my students becoming useful to the society.
I conclude that teaching is not just my job,
It's my CALLING.
It's my PURPOSE.
I feel proud being a Teacher.
I LIVE to TEACH!!!!!
