Education – a system that enhances our social and mental skills and empowers our ability to survive in this ever challenging world.

Education is undoubtedly associated with the profession of teaching or educating. We call them instructors, professor or simply teachers but whatever we call them they are all the ones we owe what we know, be it the most fundamental or complicated things. Academics aside, teachers also assume the role of a parent in our second home.

                To be a teacher is truly challenging yet an enjoyable job. Being a teacher requires both the ability to impart knowledge and deal with different type of students. Gathering information and passing on the knowledge to student alone is difficult enough. But being able to do this while keeping up with the different reception of student makes a teacher a hero we can look up to.

                Teachers’ job is not only to fill our student’s minds but to enlighten them and keep the mind healthy and bright. Teachers always do their best to add every lesson in our mind’s bucket, subtract the doubts our mind is initially filled in, multiply our potential talents and skills and divide our whole self to make us holistically developed. This fundamentals make us equipped to face the ever challenging world.

                “Teaching is not a profession but a vocation.”  This quotation simply means that teachers are not just professionals but also those who guide our students to reach for their dreams.
