Teachers - Unsung Heroes

Teachers are the lamps of life. A teacher takes a nation’s children under their wing and leads them from darkness, into the light of knowledge, and we all know, with knowledge comes power. Teachers in the larger sense are humble beings, they seldom tire and continue to work even if they do not feel appreciated.

Parents are proud of their children when they do well at school, but they often forget to thank the teachers for the hard work they do in guiding their young learners. When a child fails at school however, the teachers are often the first ones who are blamed. This is the life of a teacher.

But these teachers remain humble. They have one goal and one goal only, and that is to passionately educate the children under their wing. Not only do the teach life lessons, but the wipe away tears, support talents and worry about their students along with their own children. Being a teacher is an undervalued position.

This is my little tribute to teachers around the world, they are the unsung heroes who for very little pay and appreciation, give our children their all! If you are a teacher, I hope you read this as a reminder that we are truly grateful for the hard work you do in helping us to raise a proud nation.
