I love this profession.
Have been at it for the last 3 decades. Have given my best. It takes a lot out of a person but the return has been tremendous - the satisfaction of making a difference in a young person's life, the knowledge that the world is a better place because of a kind word, a pat on the shoulder, a cheerful greeting to a child to say "I care about you".
The success of a teacher is not measured in dollars and cents, nor in profit and loss spreadsheets. Nay, a teacher's measure of success is in the human beings that he mould to be caring, loving and giving individuals.
Teachers not only impart knowledge and skills to our youngs but more important, they impart values that carry the child to adulthood.
We need teachers who can inspire their charges. If you want to get the young ones to go asailing, do not just show them how to build a boat but more importantly, to make them yearn for the horizon and the calls of distant shores.
Teachers roles are legion. Coach, mentor, advisor, counsellor, friend, guide...
The country has many heroes in its teachers. I have met many of them. The unsung heroes. The passion to teach. The drive to help one more child stand up when the world weighs him down.
I know my fellow teachers. What makes them tick. Our joy lies in the children we nurture, in the lives we impacted on, in the shining eyes that greet us in the morning. Yes, in the contributions we make to the country's future.
Let's not wait for Teachers' Day to show our appreciation to the teachers . A simple heartfelt "Thank you, teacher" would suffice.
Well done, teachers! You are the greatest.
