Because I Am A Teacher

---

5 Science 2, Class of 2019
I'm a teacher..............
Behind that doctor,
Is me, a teacher...........

Behind that economist,
Is me, a teacher..........

Above those astronomers,Is me, a teacher..............

I carry the light even though they mostly make jokes of me...........

But I am a teacher........

I don't qualify for a RDP house nor earn enough to buy an expensive one.............

But yes, I am a teacher...........

Some think or even say that I have too many holidays, never knowing that I spend those holidays either correcting papers or planning what and how I'm going to teach when i go back to school........
Because I am a teacher..,

sometimes I get confused and even get stressed by the ever changing policies by the politicians who have political powers over what and how I have to teach.......

Despite all that I am a teacher and I have to teach and i'm teaching.............

On pay days I don't laugh as others do, but by the next day I have to come with a smile to those that I teach........... Because I'm a teacher.........

The main source of my satisfaction is when I see them growing, succeeding, having all those assets, bravely facing the world and its challenges,
and i say yes I've taught in spite of living in a world opened by Google..

Because I am a teacher............
Yes I am a teacher........
It doesn't matter how they look at me,

it doesn't matter how much more they earn than me,

it doesn't matter that they drive while I walk
because all what they have is through me, a teacher.. Whether they acknowledge me or not......

I am a teacher...........

Pass this to all the teachers n make them proud of their career.
Dedicated to all the amazing teachers....
