At times, i feel down and depressed. Life's so meaningless as i just worked hard everyday only to find myself dead tired on bed. I happened to chance upon this inspiring quote which adds meaning to my life as an early childhood educator:

I Am a Teacher

I am a counselor and psychologist to a problem-filled child,I am a police officer that controls a child gone wild.

I am a travel agent scheduling our trips for the year;I am a confidante that wipes a crying child's tear.

I am a banker collecting money for a ton of different things;I am a librarian showing adventures that a storybook brings.

I am a custodian that has to clean certain little messes;I am a psychic that learns to know all that everybody only guesses.

I am a photographer keeping pictures of a child's yearly growth,When mother and father are gone for the day, I become both.

I am a doctor that detects when a child is feeling sick,I am a politician that must know the laws and recognize a trick.

I am a party planner for holidays to celebrate with all;I am a decorator of a room, filling every wall.

I am a news reporter updating on our nation's current events,I am a detective solving small mysteries and ending all suspense.

I am a clown and comedian that make the children laugh,I am a dietician assuring they have lunch or from mine I give them half.

When we seem to stray from values, I become a preacher,But I'm proud to have to be these people because ...

I'm proud to say, "I am a teacher."

Some people feels that being a teacher is an easy task: All you need is to teach ABC, 123, change diapers etc. But i am sorry to say that this concept is outdated. We are building the foundation of tomorrow as you will never know who will be the next minister or great person. So don't belittle us, teacher or early childhood educators cause you never know whom you are dealing with! That's all! Cya!!
