I am proud to be a Teacher

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/Students 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!!!
