Not Just a Job but a Passion

 

" Teaching is not a profession; it's a passion. Without passion for your subject and a desire for your students to learn and be the best in the world, then we have failed as a teacher, and failure is not an option." -John F. Podoji.

Teaching is not something I have to do; it's something I like to do. Teaching is a sacred job, and it's one of the most challenging and intricate jobs because it deals with students' minds and demands a lot of patience, wisdom, and knowledge.

For me, teaching is not a part-time job because to teach means to think of my students all the time, to indulge in their problems, trying to do my best to help them, to think of new activities, search for new tools, trying to find the best way to deliver the information for them. I don’t want to be just an instructor, but to be a person that students trust, respect, and love. I teach orphans and underprivileged students. These students have many psychological and social problems. Most of them suffer a lot, so I must understand them and be there for them. Someone once told me that to be a good teacher, I must be fair, firm, and friendly. The secret lies in these 3 f’s. I’m trying to apply this in my teaching.
