“We learn by teaching”
Having done my masters in Business Administration with marketing people always ask me why am I a teacher and not into a 9-7 so called white collar job. Teaching is a passion and it is within you. Few years back when I was in school I refrained from studies but when I got the right teachers they made it so simple for me. I don’t regret that I gave up a handsome salary job because I thought that rewards for being a teacher are far more than a huge pay cheque.
Teaching has a broader perspective it’s not only a few algebra sums or history which one has to teach. Apart from books it’s very important for teacher to have a good bonding with students. As it’s not only teaching that matters but the social and emotional developments.
I have been in teaching field for the past seven years and loving it. I get to learn so much from the young minds. Sometime they teach us something that I am unaware of. It’s no more a student teacher relationship that is till the books. My students share their agonies and I guide them how to get rid of it. Their love and affection has always been a motivating factor to be a teacher. Gone are the days when a teacher is one who sits with a stick to teach the students. In 21 century it is very important to keep their spirits and motivate them to study hard rest depends on destiny.
I have a student who always shares a chocolate with me and says first you eat the chocolate than we will study. Why would a 12 year old kid share a chocolate? He can eat it after or before class, it is the love and the bonding which I share with the little boy. I am blessed with very good students and it’s like a family for me. To bring about a change in one’s life is only possible when you know the person well. I have been a friend, philosopher and a guide for many and that’s what makes me feel proud today. Early morning when small children wait for you, they follow your instructions, they make cards , paintings for you and above all they respect you makes my journey in the teaching field fruitful.
I LOVE YOU ALL MY DEAR STUDENTS
YOU ALL MEAN A LOT IN MY LIFE.
