I join teachers in the world to celebrate today. Today is teacher's day and I'm using this moment to say thank you to all teachers that have impacted me from creche to the University level.
I'm also from a family of teachers. My mum is a retired teacher and my two sisters are both teachers. I've also taught at secondary school level and university level. Though I'm a researcher now but I believe I will still go back to teaching (lecturing in the University)
Teaching is the best profession on earth as every other professions have to pass through teachers. It's just a pity that teachers are not treated the way they are suppose to be treated in this country but we still have a lot of them dedicated to their profession.
Teaching is a profession that gives joy and fulfilment. While Jesus Christ was on earth, the major thing he did was to teach his disciples and people around him. No wonder he was called the great teacher.
May God bless all our teachers. I have this little poem to celebrate with teachers.
The word teacher make me think of the very beginning
The beginning of my days at school
I held firm my mother's hand
I was afraid to leave her
But suddenly an angel held my other hand
And all my fear flew
She wiped away my tears and took me to class
That was when my grooming starts
I came to understand that a teacher is another parent I had
For which I'm still happy
I am glad that teachers were there to guide
They taught me everything I know
All the manners and values I have
My tree have reached heights 'cos they watered it
Teachers are my preachers
They'll continue to be in my heart forever
For they have given me strength to endeavor
Teachers are my most precious treasure.
Happy Teachers Day
I remain my humble self @fatherfaith
