Happy Teachers' Day!!!



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!
