_*This is dedicated to all Teachers ( If you can read this, thank a Teacher)*._
I am a Teacher....
I may be a School Teacher,
I may be a College Lecturer,
I may be a University Professor!
Behind that Doctor, it is me, a Teacher
Behind that Engineer, it is me, a Teacher
Behind that Lawyer, it is me, a Teacher
Behind that Accountant, it is me, a Teacher
Behind that Psychologist, it is me, a Teacher
Behind that Scientist, it is me, a Teacher.
I carry the Light even though they mostly make fun of me by their uncharitable jokes.
But I am a Teacher...
I am not qualified for a Bungalow or a Villa nor earn enough to buy an expensive house or a car,
But yes, I am a Teacher.
Some think or even say i have too many holidays. They never know I spend those holidays either correcting papers or planning what and how I am going to teach when I go to the blackboard or whiteboard,
Because I am a Teacher..
Sometimes I get confused and even get stressed by the Ever-changing policies over what and how I have to teach. On pay-days, I don't laugh as others do, but the next day I love to come with a smile to those I teach
Because I am a Teacher..
The main source of my satisfaction is when I see them grow, succeed. I see them bravely face the world and its challenges. And I say, yes I have taught in spite of living in a world Opened by Google,
Because I am a Teacher, yes I am a Teacher..
It doesn't matter how they look at me, it doesn't matter how much more they earn than I do, it doesn't matter that they drive while I walk because all what they have is through me, a Teacher..
Whether they acknowledge me or not,
I am a Teacher.
Yes I am!
_Proud Teacher!_
_Happy Teachers' Day._
