What profession do you admire most and why?
I’m torn between a writer/author and teaching. I’d pick teaching in this case as my own appreciation to teachers because of the impact they make in the world.
The job of a teacher is a very important one and really crucial. These are people who shape minds, inspire, encourage, and guide. They are our parents/guardians in the academic world, and it can be so heartbreaking to see how teachers are undermined sometimes.
I’ve always wanted to teach, and I believe I will someday – not necessarily in a classroom setting but anywhere I find myself. But even now, I get the opportunity to teach sometimes. At every level of my education, there was always one teacher who had so much faith in me, and this often inspired me to work harder.
Ayekoo to all our hardworking teachers!
