Teacher

Now I understand why there was a saying ‘a teacher is a hero without any medallion’.
I can see how they give anything they have to their pupil so they can get as much knowledge as they can so those pupils can be somebody special, leaders, engineers, artist, business people and any position exist in this world.

And I know how hard to be a teacher because I know that they have to have a pure heart, heart that would give without asking anything in return. That watching your pupil succeeds is the greatest give of all. That molding that pure souls, pure hearts and change it to beautiful persons was a great honor.

I can understand it now….

I also try to mold people, change them to be the person that deep down inside of me would be the best character for that person.
I gave them suggestions, show them what to do, how to act, how to behave, how to be that special someone.

And it gives me a great feeling when I saw them become what I thought as the best for their character as I mentioned earlier.

But then I know why I can’t become a good teacher.

I don’t have that pure heart….
I always want my pupil to be dependent to me…
I always want my pupil to ask me about solution to their problem…
I always want to interfere…

I cannot accept that one day those pupils will finish their lesson with me and proceed to the next level with another teacher…

I cannot accept that after they graduated many of them will forget me completely,
Ignores me,
Leaving me alone….

I cannot face the reality that I’m the one that created them to be the one what they suppose to be, and they succeed, they pass the exam, they graduated.

So I now try to get my pure heart, and give them anything I have to mold them, and let they fly free after they succeed.

Wish you all good luck!
