As a teacher, I consider my job as pretty easy. I teach my students what I know and know and make sure that they remember these lessons that I have thought them.

                However, I never expected that these students would be able to teach me a much greater lesson than what I could ever teach them. They have thought me how to be selfless. Because of them, I am encourage to go further and work harder in order to teach them lessons that will surely be helpful in their future endeavor.

                I am inspired to withstand sleepless nights just to prepare and enhance my lesson plans for them. Because of them, I am driven to exceed what they expect from me and be more   than just their teacher but also their confidante and friend.

                Having them dependent on my performance as a teacher surely helped me become more responsible. I know that what they accomplish is reflective to how I am as a teacher.

                It surely is a great pleasure to be of service to others and be a part of their success.
