Teaching: An Honorable Profession

“Those who educate children well are more to be honored than parents, for these only gave life, those the art of living well.” Aristotle

     There are two people who played the most significant role in the childhood.  The one is the mother and other is the teacher. These two people are the most important element to build your career as well as character.  How we have turned out as an individual and what we are making of our life can be traced back to stuff taught by our parents and teachers. These are people, who with their actions, words, knowledge and experience of the world, has shaped us. It is widely accepted that nobody influences children’s mind the way their school teachers do. Teacher has more chance of motivating and shaping young minds than parents.

     I always view it as the most honorable profession. Teacher is the responsible person who prepares young minds for the future of the nation. Lots of patience is required while dealing with students on any academic level. It can be a demanding and stressful profession as the responsibility of shaping up future of country is on teachers’ shoulders. A good teacher with his teachings can leave a lasting impression on child’s mind.

    Recently I read somewhere, “We agree with you when a teacher says that 'Today's youth does not respect Teachers' we respect good Teachers only.” and this is true, teacher should also maintain the dignity of this profession. This is the admirable profession and if you choose this for your career, you must be valued it, because you are given this responsibility to transformed values to your students. Fortunately I have always been taught by the teachers, I always hats off to them. I have seen the true meaning of the teacher in them. During my school days and even in college I am blessed with the best teachers, who inspired me, guided me well and transformed the values.  On teacher’s day I acknowledge all of them who have been my teachers in all different stages of life. It is the time to pay tribute to them, who have shaped up my career and imparted knowledge to me, not just to excel academically, but also to develop me personality.
