I Can Make a Difference!

From receiving the Tender Loving Care Award to another blessing had come. Truly God sees all our deeds and all the sacrifices we are willing to make just for our students' sake! Praise God!

Let me share with you this piece I wrote back when I was in my graduating year of college, while experiencing sorts of storms and trials that soon became my blessings in disguise. Now I'm sharing this to you, to serve as inspiration to our teaching life ❤

I am Proud to Be a Teacher!

Most of the time, I question myself, as a teacher, how can I make a difference? I am small, weak and I do things that sometimes appreciated but mostly are not. I am jailed with the thought that I am only just a teacher.

Mahatma Gandhi said, "Be the change you want to see in the world". But what can I do, to be the change that I long to see?

I used to tell myself, I am ONLY just a TEACHER.

Then, my thoughts knocked my head and suddenly redirected me back to the first reason why I chose to become a teacher. Yes, I reflected about my roles. Becoming a teacher is not only a work but a service, a call not only a labor and a vocation not only a profession. It reminds me that, though I am small and weak, I am equipped with talent and ability. Simply, I have the power to teach: what is wrong and what is right. I can teach complicated things in the easiest way I can do.

Believing in myself that I can make a difference, I learned to determine multiple intelligences. I can able to plan, to manage and to motivate a spirit of learning. In my hands I can draw my students' tomorrow.

Believing in myself that I can make a difference, I had the courage to uplift, to create and to crontrol different personalities. I can transform knowledge into wisdom, little into big and a box into a star!
I let students be inspired and motivated. I make sure that students may study with eagerness and hunger for learning.

I may be small, but in my students' eyes, I am the law!
I love the idea that with my voice, I turn my students on. Letting them touch the chalk on the board, make them know that they have a perfect drive to be on the top of the mountain.

In the classroom, I help them build their dreams. I let them travel to see the places they haven't gone to. I let them see the things that they've thought they would never see.

And for every day that God has given me, the difference I make would never be ceasing. For this is important for the next generation of the future.

I don't mind about the greatest treasure the world could ever give me as a reward because I already received the abundant compensation that no one could steal from me: being a TEACHER!

After feeling of being small, weak and unappreciated, I end up reflecting what my role of being a teacher is. It lifts me up. Satisfaction fills my heart. I feel glad for knowing that I've been part of my students' success.

I believe that I did a great job of transforming lives. To me, that is the difference I made, still making and will still make.

I am the change I want to see in the world. I am PROUD to be a TEACHER!
