Inspiring Teacher

I’ve finished my magister programme, and started to seek a teaching job. Knowing that, my smallest son, 9 years old asked me to teach at a kindergarten near his school, or taught at his primary school. He said, mommy, you can teach math or science, but don’t teach art or sport. I said, I will not honey, it’s not mommy’s field. Mommy wants to teach undergraduate students at school of pharmacy. Why, it’s the same teaching activity?, he asked. I explained my knowledge and skill were more useful to be shared with such students. When I started to teach undergraduate students he reminded me not to forget to bring a red pen. Why, I asked. Mommy is a teacher, a red pen is very important to score students exam, just like my teachers did. I smiled, again I heard another ‘just like my teachers did’. He’s at 4th grade primary school, and he admired his teachers so much. I thanked God. I knew his teachers, most of them taught not only with their skill but with their heart. They are not only transfering knowledge but very inspiring too. Not all teachers did like that. I want to be an inspiring teacher too.
