Teacher trainees .....

Remember that you are among the selected few who were given the opportunity to undertake teacher training . From the tens of thousands of youngsters who applied....... a few thousands were called for interviews and the physical tests ... but only a few hundreds were given the chance to join the teaching profession .

Once you're here , please think of the others who did not get this chance . They would give away their hands and legs to be where you are now. You should be more thankful for this opportunity .

The odd thing was , instead of being thankful and study as hard as they could , SOME trainees tend to forget the purpose of being in a Teacher's college ... they get poor marks , play truant , didn't submit their assignments and / or failed their exams and / or practicum . This kind of attitude usually surfaces towards the end of their training . This has really been a mystery as to why it happened . What made them lose interest ...?

I did ask them the reason for joining teacher training and , sure enough , they blamed their parents, especially  mothers , who want them to become teachers . Personally , i can't say anything . It's your life and your choice . One thing is for sure though ....If you are kind to your parents , God will be kind to you . Listen to them. They know best . I have friends who , at one moment in time , were forced to become teachers by their parents .... They are now excellent teachers and they have children who are excellent teachers as well .

There's no shame because it's a noble profession ...be proud of being a teacher .
