               Stunning  truths  in a teacher’s life

Sometimes I can’t  help but  sigh and question myself, why am I still in school?  Am I not yet drained? Can I still go on?Am I still happy with my work? After a long pause , I took a deep breath, as if its my last…… then I pat my shoulder…… telling myself, “Hey you’ll be ok” , “All you need is just a good rest”, “Be on your toes again”, “ Things will be fine”.

       You see my dear  readers , this  profession is indeed , a long winding  tideous task. It requires a great load of patience , a solid drive to reach your teaching goals, a big heart to accommodate/understand the various struggles of every student who comes to your class , and a good dose of tolerance, commitment and comprehension to beat paper works deadlines and more. For my  years in the  teaching  career, I  have  encountered  hopeless and  helpless  young lads  and lass who are broken individuals just like me.

              Nevertheless, I have  proven myself  to be worthy to be called a “TEACHER”.  A teacher who doesn’t  only  impart  knowledge and skills, but a TEACHER who definitely cares and touches someone’s  life.

We have to believe , I have to make myself  believe that:

 I am the  “GREATEST INSPIRATION” of my students inside their very own  classrooms.

 I can “MAKE  A  BIG  DIFFERENCE” on how they perceive life’s  challenges.

 “ALL HEARTS can be EDUCATED” for the pursuit of simple happiness.

“I  AM THE TEACHER that I AM SUPPOSED TO BE.”

God fearing…

Value laden…

Purposely driven…

EDUCATOR…
