Teacher is a job title for a person who teach their students every day. In our life, teachers become an integral part of our life. We, humans, cannot survive without another human being. We do need the assistance of teachers to help us study how to live in this world. It is not a exaggeration that a child future is determined by the teachings of the teachers. Unfortunately, there are so little teachers that teach the right thing. There are more teachers that only teach the necessary skill to survive, not to excel with every child's talent.
Most teachers only teach their subject, done. i.e. Math teacher teach only math, history teacher only teach history. This is wrong. Every teacher has an obligation to assist every one of their student to let them know and do their talent. I believe we are not designed only to survive in this world. We are designed to maximize our potential to improve our quality of life.
From my personal opinion, the best teacher I've ever had is a person that motivate me to be the best on what I'm good at. It is on my senior high school moment, I had a teacher that know me quite good. She always knew that if I do not give my best on a test and she always mad to me if I do not give my best. After that, she always motivated me to be the best. It is a great privilege to had a teacher like that in my life. I'm forever indebted to her. :).
That is the point of the whole thing of education. Teaching is not like pouring water to an empty water canister, but it is more like a candle in the dark that light the path of the bearer. And I believe that the whole education thing is not only the teacher's obligation, but every people has the obligation to assist their relatives to improve their life quality.
A lot of people thought that we can only stop disaster or any bad guys by using super power. That's why a lot of people likes to see super hero movie. The story is relatively simple, the bad guy appear and destroy a town. Then, the hero comes to stop the bad guys. For me, teacher that teach and lead their student to be a good man is the real super hero. They prevent any kind bad things even before it happened. So, with this post, I want to encourage us to be a teacher to make this world a little bit better. Teacher is not only an occupation, it is a lifestyle. :D
