Today we are celebrating World’s Teacher Day. Hurray! This is the day that we give thanks to all the wonderful teachers in the world, and acknowledge all their great efforts is spreading the knowledge into their students. It’s been two years now since the students are missing the Teacher’s Day Celebration at school because of the current pandemic situation. I can still remember back then when I was in grade school that we need to make a greeting card for our adviser on the day of celebration. It was actually fun because it was appreciated by your teachers. A few decades later, my kids were doing the same with their teachers. Unfortunately two years had gone by without any physical celebration. Yesterday on my kids group chat at school, one student sent a greeting to their advisers and followed by everyone including my kids. Little did I know, the exact celebration was today. But nevertheless, whether the greetings was advance, on the same day or late, the thoughts was all that matters.

Anyway, I was supposed to write a different topic today but because of watching my favourite noontime show again earlier, I suddenly wanted to talked about them. Well to give you a brief summary, the topic was all about the teachers who were assigned into remote areas. When we say remote areas, these are the places that were out of the way, or places that were far from civilisation. There were many documentaries I’ve seen and heard on television and on the other portals about how dedicated these teachers were. Upon watching and listening to their stories, I ended up admiring them more.

Education is for all

Being a teacher in a normal school can already takes up a lot of stress and your time, what more if you were assigned in a remote area. Most of these places were located in a secluded area and their way of living were far different from what you used to. Probably no internet, and very limited sources. But the teachers who were sent to these places to teach didn’t stopped nor give up. They continue to pursue their promised duty to the country by imparting education to all. They believe that education is for everyone rich or poor, young or old, and whether you live in far places, they will come, so that the young generation from these remote places will have an access to free education.

Characteristics of a teacher

The passion of every teacher is so inspiring too, because as we all know, teaching is such an stressful profession. They’ve encountered a lot of difficulties dealing with their students that might let them give up, but the deep passion for teaching overtakes. Each teacher from these areas were so patience. They need to travel a long drive in order to get to their assigned places which usually takes hours. Some needs to cross rivers, seas and even high mountains for the love of teaching. Travelling already took a lot of time, so they prefer staying there for the whole week and just goes home during weekends. Staying there also means you’ll be away from your loved ones for quite sometime. It went on and on up until the academic year ended. What’s more inspiring was that some of these teachers were teaching in these places for around 7 years now. Can you imagine the dedication they gave for their profession? They were just so amazing. The sincerity and understanding they gave through their teaching despite all of the obstacles they were going through not only make me love them, but be proud of them.

Final Thoughts

We can all agree that all teachers were one of our modern day hero. Without them, all the successful professionals wouldn’t also be here. You and I can never learn how to write nor read. We might never know how to count numbers. And lastly, they were also there to nurture our good manners and right conduct. They weren’t just a teacher to us but they were considered as our parents in schools. Admit it or not, but we wouldn’t be what we were right now without the help of these wonderful teachers. So today let’s appreciate them more, so that they’ll be more happier fulfilling their duties in teaching the future generations.

Happy Teacher’s day Ma’am and Sir!
