A Teacher, as we all know and say is
a noble profession. I often wondered, what makes this profession so noble and
dignified. Since my childhood, I had been hearing from my parents that you
should always revere and respect your teachers. Question when the doubt is
genuine no matter how stupid and irrelevant it is, seek your teachers’ advice
but do it yourself, you may grow professionally or intellectually but should
always remain a student to your teacher – these were a few highlighted points
which my parents always aimed at while sending me to school.
Today, when I myself stand as a
teacher, I see and understand why my parents highlighted those points in my
childhood. A Child is nurtured, nourished, and cared for when he/she is with
his/her teacher. The tender hands held by a teacher to learn those initial
letters, those innocent minds shaped by a teacher to study the multitude of
subjects, those interactions and exchanges done in the classroom, the care and
concern given to every child all adds up to let a child grow not only
intellectually but also emotionally, socially and to a great extend
spiritually. Education, as we all know, is an overall development of a
personality which enhances the knowledge, skills and habits of an individual.
It’s not only about learning things from the text books and testing the
cerebral capacity but also goes deep into our lives and touches the soul. As a
teacher, I feel it’s important not only to impart knowledge to a child but also
to impart every good thing that helps in developing a child’s personality and
overall growth. And as I realize my dream of being teacher, I always express my
heartfelt gratitude to God, to Sapphire International School, Headmistress
Ma’am and all my colleagues who guide me constantly in my endeavor for being a
better teacher and a mentor to my students.
So dear students,
“Grow, Go and Get. Achieve your dreams. Sky is the limit. But never forget your
beginnings”.
