No Teacher No Nation

No Teacher No Nation

I'm a teacher.
Behind that doctor,
It's me, a teacher.

Behind that President, Governor
It's me, a teacher.

Behind that economist,
It's me, a teacher.
 
Above those astronomers,Is me, a teacher.

I carry the light even though they mostly make jokes of me.

But I am a teacher.

I don't qualify for a RDP house nor earn enough to buy an expensive one.

But yes, I am a teacher.

Some think or even say that I  have too many holidays, never knowing that I spend those holidays either correcting papers or planning what and how I'm going to teach when I go back to school.

Because I am a teacher..

sometimes I get confused and even get stressed by the ever changing policies by the politicians who have political powers over what and how I have to teach.

Despite all that i am a teacher and I have to teach and i'm teaching.

On pay days I don't laugh as others do, but by the next day I have to come with a smile to those that I teach.

Because I'm a teacher.

The main source of my satisfaction is when I see them growing, succeeding, having all those assets, bravely facing the world and its challenges, 
and I say yes I've taught in spite of living in a world opened by Google.

Because I am a teacher.
Yes I am a teacher.

It doesn't matter how they look at me.

It doesn't matter how much more they earn than me.

It doesn't matter that they drive while I walk because all what they have is through me, a teacher.. Whether they acknowledge me or not.

I am a teacher.

Pass this to all the teachers n make them proud  of their career.

Dedicated to all the amazing teachers.
