I am a teacher.
I was born the first moment that a question leaped from the mouth of a child.
I have been many people in many places.
I am Socrates exciting the youth of athens to discover new ideas through the use of questions.
I am Anne Sullivan tapping out the secrets of the universe into the outstretched hand of Hellen Keller.
I am Aesop and Has Christian Anderson revealing truth through countless stories.
I am Marva Collins fighting for every child´s right to an education.
I am Mary McCleod Bethune building a great collage for my people, using orange crates for desks.
And I am Bel Kaufman struggling to go up the down staircase.
The names of those who have practiced my profession ring like a hall of fame for humanity. . . Booker T. Washington, Buddha, Confucius, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Leo Buscaglia, Moses and Jesus.
I am also those whose names and faces have long been fogotten but whose lessons and character will always be remembered in the accomplishments of their students.
Being a teacher is not really easy as it looklikes because it conveys a lot of responsabities.people who wants to get involved in this kind of profession have to feel vocation for what he/she is doing.
