Poor but truly rewarded


TEACHERS Day is over but the enormous task of educating our children must go on. As I take time to open my Teachers Day presents, I begin to wonder what has kept me in the teaching profession for so long without regretting a moment of it in spite of all the condemnation by parents, students and the public. I am just as enthusiastic as when I first started.  

Their comments cannot discourage me because to me, teaching is my vocation and I am not doing it for any reward or gain. Hence, I remain a poor church mouse without a few houses, expensive cars, and plenty of stocks and shares to my name.
