thanks to caryn!!! read this article and i felt v touched.. somehow… the article reflected how i always felt about teaching…
argh… too bad! this article came too late else it wld be of handy for my essay!! :blank1
u noe when i feel that i wanna be a teacher? it was when i was in Primary School.. i felt so unfair that why aren’t pupils who are weaker academically chosen to be monitress? or why am i always in the worst grp?i am always in the weakest grp… i am always the first pupil the teacher wld call up , saying tt they wanna see my parents… i rem crying all the time… and i wanted to be a teacher then, so that i cld give weaker pupils a chance to show their potential… thanks to wonderful teachers who gave me the opportunity to boast my confidence… and who made me feel special in every way.. else i dun thnk i’ll be what i am today..
i always wanted to motivate and insipire.. i hope i left footprints in my family and friends’ life.. and now i want do so in my pupils’ life too… i rem how mad i’ll be when they talk back to me… or how discouraged i feel when the lesson doesn’t go on well.. or even worst i didn’t get to do wat i wanna do coz of some noti monsters…
Teaching is all about sacrifice. utimately, i don’t have to leave footsteps on every kids’ life… juz 1 will do…
as quoted from the article “It is a good feeling just to know one’s student has become a useful, happy member of society and that one might have contributed in some way.”
the joy, smile on the pupils’ face or a soft ‘thank you’ or ‘teacher i help u erase the board k?’ mks it all worthwhile.. :smile1
“And so we continue teaching, hoping to touch lives and open doors for some students.”
