Out of all the jobs in the world, a teacher's job is the most selfless one. Especially when she is a teacher to the youngest group of kids, her job becomes even more special.Not just the teacher, even the kids develop an emotional connect with their teachers. The young hearts who are utterly scared in the beginning, gradually find a friend and someone to count upon in their teachers. They start enjoying school and there's no more fear. They still might not speak a word when in school but their gestures speak it all.
Only a teacher knows what it takes to make friends with such tiny tots. How much effort she puts behind making them comfortable to stay away from their parents. Even after school when they are at home, they continue their research for being a better teacher, doing something new and interesting for the kids each day.
My and my family's favorite teacher is my sister! As a child, she had immense stage fear but today when we see her delivering fabulous presentations to her students and their parents, we feel proud. Her transformation didn't happen in a day. We have seen her struggle, stammer and also lose confidence. What she didn't lose were her hope and determination. As a family even we always showed confidence in her and that kept her going.
Today it feels so good to see her as a successful teacher, managing home and work wonderfully well. She gets emotional when her batch of kids leave her by getting promoted to a higher class. She loves to be appreciated, even a handmade card from her student brings a broad smile on her face.
I really wish students and their parents appreciate the hard work of a teacher even more. Most of the time it goes unnoticed, but our selfless teachers never complain. A small word of appreciation can boost anybody's morale and instill even more confidence.
I also take this opportunity to thank all my teachers from the bottom of my heart. It's because of their greatness and patience that we all are literates today.
