being a teacher has its ups and downs and mostly in my case more downs than ups. but who am i to complain as i know this is the most suitable career for me. i love teaching, love the fact that i am moulding someone to be somebody. and mind you, this somebody might be the one that rule the nation, who knows (this is of course a very big IF)
i was pleasantly surprised by a call from an ex-student. he will be getting married this coming holidays and are sending out his invitation cards. the thing is he was from the class of 2001 or 2002 (this is nearly seven/eight years ago) and has graduated so many times that some might not even considered to invite their sec school teachers. and yet here he was, personally came to distribute and to come and talk to the teachers. he has done well for himself, and being a teacher, i can't help to be proud of him and actually proud of myself. why? to realize that i have had a hand in moulding a man that is not only well-educated but also well-mannered.
moments like these are all that i need to give myself a fresh perspective on why i chose this career and to be able to pat myself on the back. :)
