On Becoming A Teacher

Teacher

The Teacher
She must wake up early in the morning
To do her chores especially the cooking
She must rush to school to be in duty
Or else she might be tardy

She must do her lesson plan
And must cope up with the Deadlines
She must do all the works
Even if it is late and dark

The students are noisy, what a mess?
They don't listen , what a nuisance
They get zero during speed test or quizzes
And if they fail they protest

Oh! How difficult to be a teacher
So many works like a researcher
No time to enjoy life luxuries
They must work for the students future

Friends , let us understand how a teacher be
Always teaching like a bee
We must consider their hardships
To have good student for worthy leaderships.

A poem for herself and to all teachers

 I saw this poem in one of the posts in magtxt.com. Credits to Ms. Collete Vinluan Japson who posted this dated on September 20, 2012. Truly, a teacher's journey would never be that easy. It comes through ups and downs. 

A teacher, as a loving wife/husband, needs to do work simultaneously on weekends. Paperworks and checking of assignments and homeworks are sometimes brought home because it needs more attention. In that four-walled classroom with almost 60 pairs of eyes looking at you, it is a great responsibility that needs to be taken care of. A teacher also has to be fair among students to avoid commotions among these students.

Truly, it will always be that hard to be one. But through the years, you'll reflect on the past by looking in front of you the successful students that used to be students of yours and say, "A job well done. I have been a blessing."
