Esperienze

It is rightly said "To teach is to learn twice over". I've been teaching for 25 years and there has never been a day I haven't learnt something new. Teaching is not just a job for me, it is what defines me. It gives me a purpose. We often complain about how terrorism can't be fought or how some educated people throw garbage or how kids are becoming lazy in a tech world and the list goes on. It is always easier said than done. Teaching gives me the power to shape our youth into becoming a good person as in the end that is what matters the most.

It's been a year I have been working in this school, the experience and exposure I got here is exceptional.  Experience always changes with the schools we teach, but the one I am having here is having a huge impact on my confidence. Colleagues here are positive competitors and good personal friends. This environment is best suited to grow as a person and individual. Freedom I get here in the process of teaching helps me to give an extra bit of effort to share the knowledge in the way I was exposed to the same.

Knowledge is most certainly power. Power to bring a change in your and others' life and I am fortunate enough to have this power. This profession brings a sense of contentment. Not only do I get to share my knowledge with students, I also get to be a mother like figure for all of them and it is the greatest feeling a woman can ever have.

It’s been a joyful journey here and I am looking forward to coming many more years here.
