TEACHING IS IN MY DNA

I am a teacher.

Teaching is not just my profession, it is my first love, my way of life.

It is not a job, but my passion and devotion.

It runs through my blood and bones. It’s etched into my DNA.

In fact, it is my oxygen.

Teaching fuels the rhythm of my life, defying fatigue and weariness.

The secret of my energy isn’t “Boost”, it’s the company of my students.

Age may take its toll, but teaching reverses it.

It keeps me young at heart, never letting me feel elderly.

I never feel “done” with teaching.

I pursue knowledge incessantly, striving always to remain a student.

After all, doesn’t a good teacher need to be a good student first?

The duller a student appears, the more I’m drawn to teach them.

I believe every student is talented in their own unique way.

I appreciate, encourage, motivate, and ignite their confidence.

I help them discover their hidden talents and illuminate the path to their grand success.

Just as a mason feels proud when he sees the skyscraper he helped build,

I too feel immense joy when I witness my students’ achievements.

That joy multiplies when the student was once a slow learner or a dropout.

Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam the “Missile Man” is my role model.

Like him, I wish to teach till my last breath.

To be a teacher, a friend, a philosopher, a guide, and a motivator—all rolled into one is a rare blessing.

I thank the Almighty for making me a teacher.🙏

And if He were to ask me what I’d like to be in my next birth,

I would choose teaching again without a moment’s hesitation.

It is the only calling that gives me immense satisfaction and joy.

Medicine and teaching are said to be the noblest professions.

But even a doctor is made by a teacher not the other way around.
