One day, I talked to you about how I wanted to be a fashion designer and turned to be a teacher later. Though this profession was chosen by destiny for me, but now this has become an important part of my life.
Recently I got the chance to teach at a central government school of Tripura. I must say, that was the happiest and most enlightening experience of my life.
It actually taught me what it means to be a teacher. So on this auspicious occasion of Teacher's Day, I want to share this beautiful poem by James J. Metcalf.
I want to teach my children how to live this life on earth,
To face its struggles and its strife and to improve their worth.
Not just the lesson in a book or how the rivers flow,
But how to choose the proper path wherever they may go.
To understand eternal truth and know right from wrong,
And gather all the beauty of a flower and a song.
For if I help the world to grow in wisdom and in grace,
Then I shall feel that I have won and I have filled my place.
And so I ask Your guidance, God, that I may do my part,
For character and confidence and happiness of heart.
~James J. Metcalf
Happy Teacher's Day ♥️
