9. Being proud of my profession
I chose to become a teacher because I believe only
education can help us better the world that’s why I
consider it as a mother of all professions. I went into
teaching to impart knowledge and I hope to touch
every student in such a way that my teachers did. I
want to be a caring teacher because being a caring
teacher is showing learners that you care about
them and helps to create a positive, supportive
relationship and helps build their confidence. “Too
often we underestimate the power of a touch, a
smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest
compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of
which have the potential to turn a life around.” By
Leo Buscaglia. I want them to think back at school
and remember me, not as someone who taught
them something from the book, but a little about
life. I want to them to grow into a respectful
member of the society and not let any obstacles get
in their way, and lastly I want to make a change in
the generation of tomorrow and make the world a
little better.
10. Our deepest fear is not that we are
inadequate, our deepest fear is that
we are powerful beyond our
measure. It is our light not our
darkness that most frightens us. We
ask ourselves who am I to be
brilliant, gorgeous and talented.
Actually who are you not to be
You are the child of god.
