A teacher to me is a very spe- cial type of person that is concerned more for the students' well-fare than for his own. He is dedicated to his profession and is concerned if he is not getting his material across. If a person is not concerned about these things, then he or she should not take on the role of a teacher. In counseling, the best results often come not from giving advice, but from learning to be a good lis- tener. The most common complaint I hear from students is that they feel their class or work is dullg although the instructor can set the stage for an exciting educational experi- ence, there must be a desire from the students for such success to be achieved. Teaching is a lot more fun than cleaning house. I love it! CMost of the time .7 Teaching is a very draining pro- fession. Sometimes Qquite often I might addy you feel as if you can't go on. You wonder what it would be like to have an office job where you can leave the problems until you return the next day. However, since you are continually replenished with the strength to go on you know this is your destiny and Someone is tak- ing care of you. Teachers are guardians of our moral and intellectual heritage - What a charge to keep! Teaching pupils is the most rewarding occupation . I'm grateful for the opportunity of working with students because it keeps me 'young' and 'on my toes' in my thinking and actions. Teachers - Students - You can't be one without being the other.
