A TEACHER
By Sibongile Shezi, South Africa
It is not easy being a teacher
Standing in front of adolescent teens
Transferring to them, your skills
Is not a walk in the park
Especially when they chat…
Behind your back!
Being a teacher means teaching
Teaching both the willing and unwilling
It means repeating yourself, as many times as possible
In a voice so soft and audible
In order to be understood by all
Being a teacher means absorbing your frustrations
By remembering your obligations
Being a teacher means assuring the late bloomers
A bright future
And at the same time, ensure that the bright
Work hard to stay bright
Being a teacher is not an easy task!
And to the teachers I say thumbs up!
This is an APLITINS message to English Teachers in Tocantins and around the world!
