A Career Path

 Thirteen years had passed, when I finished my teaching degree in a State College. I successfully passed my board exam and became a licensed teacher. 

The journey of being a teacher is sometimes thrilling and sometimes it is stodgy. Sometimes I caught myself getting stuck of my place and feeling sufficed of just being an unexciting teacher in the four corners of the room. I usually feel this way when  I am giving out of ideas yet I do not want to run my class with a boring lesson .The children  are keeping on incumbently  answering their workbooks and test papers ,  as  the easiest way to put up with the students in a noiseless class.

However, there are times I feel that I am productive. When school work and meeting are less demanding of my time, and  attending a webinar for teachers and studying online help me  to gain ideas worth for my class.  Last term, the best acclaimed I heard from one of my students was my subject was mysterious, as they learned more, it was getting exciting.

What is really teaching ? As I looked back for this school year , I was assigned with mediocre students, the B students. Before the term started, one teacher gave a flattering remark about this B class, as it was a borderline between the smart kids and the poor kids in the class.  They were hardly to understand and with such defiant behaviour. I shed my tears silently for all those complains these students received from their teachers.  I had acted  gently but stern. I had kept reminding them everyday to try and flee from any misdemeanors. I had to coax them to do better at school. Chances to complete assignments and homework were always given. The day came  as the school term ended, one student sent me a  thankful  message for teaching him this year. 

Teaching is an illustrious career.  It gives me a high and low wavy teaching adventures and grapples with prickly and idle learners yet every year all of these are chalked up  to my auspicious teaching experience.
