Our Succes: Our Teachers' Sacrifices

" The Future Depend on Teachers." This is the quote that I always keep in my mind since I have decided to take up a teaching profession. It is because I believe in the saying that there's no lawyers, doctors, engineers, nurses, businessmen, and accountants without TEACHERS.


Teaching may not be a lucrative position. It cannot guarantee financial security. It even means investing your personal time, energy and resources. Sometimes it means disappointments, heartaches, and pains. But touching the hearts of people and opening the minds of children can give you joy and contentment which money could not buy. So therefore, we should consider our teachers as our heroes, because of them our lives are improving. Just think of yourself, can you achieve your standing or success today without the aid of your teachers? Well, I think it's not. For me, we can only pay the sacrifices of our teachers by obeying, respecting them, and having self-discipline. Sometimes, students are very pasaway but they can always manage or control their temper. They're also great hero in times when their students are involve in any trouble inside the school. In this matter we can already conclude that our teachers are very responsible, they are always there supporting us morally, financially, emotionally, socially, mentally, and even physically, whatever may happen. One thing I can't forget is my experience when I was in grade 5 way back in the year 2005. Whenever we attended any contests, trainings, or seminars, our teachers always shoulder our fare back and forth, and snacks for morning and afternoon. They were so great.


Maybe when we were young we didn't acknowledge their heroic doings for us. Now that we are growing older, we can already understand the reality behind all the struggles they have and to their smiles. They're such a winner. Lastly, I would like to leave a simple quotation that I borrow from Henry Brooks Adams that "A Teacher affects eternity, he/she can never tell where his/her influence stops.
