Being a teacher Teaching is a challenging task. Many teachers try to clear our duties with the highest degree of professionalism, skill, and with utmost devotion and dedication to ensure the quality of education, even though this job is not well paid compared to the effort it requires. Teachers’ chore is not just simply uttering the lesson inside the four corners of a classroom. A teacher makes the students realise their mistakes and they give them clues to better know how to act in a future similar situation. Teaching is not a bed of roses, teachers will have to deal with problematic students, talkative students, smart alecks, unmotivated ones and also, with others who are in poor economic circumstances. The only reward that a teacher expects from students is for them to finish studies and to be more able to get a good job. Being a teacher is hard, nobody says “thanks” at the end of a class, at the end of the school year or when these students finally earn a living on their own, teachers’ job is never valued. Teachers and parents are who have the keys to open our minds; they will help us to overcome all the challenges and difficulties. Students must be immersed to the complexities and realities of life so that they would be able to better value their lives. This all is what our mentors mainly want for us. I don’t still know if I want to become a teacher but I know that being a teacher can burn you easily if you don’t have enough determination to handle with a part of the future of a country.
