“Being a teacher is an enlightening experience, largely because of what the children teach me. Their needs require me to be patient, creative, and energetically engaged. At times, I even find myself taking on roles like a nurse, mechanic, or their favorite cartoon character. Their boundless imagination often surpasses adult perceptions.

From Monday to Friday, the children add vibrant colors to my days. Their hugs, playful spirits, and candid sharing of “little secrets” about their daily lives before coming to school.

Every year brings its unique set of challenges, as each child has their own distinctive attitudes, characters, and behaviors. Despite these differences, they all strive to listen and engage with the lessons I teach, for which I am deeply grateful.”
