Teaching

I was told an inspiring story by a very wise person recently:
The star fish story:
A boy and his grandpa was at the beach. The boy picked up starfishes and threw them into the sea.
Grandpa : Why are you doing that?
Boy : I want to save the starfishes.
Grandpa : But there is so many of them, you won't make any difference.
The boy picked one up and threw it into the sea.
Boy: This one will.
Big or small, we make differences in people's life.
That's what I hope to achieve when I become a teacher. To make a difference.
I'm inspiried by all the teachers who taught me. They all made a difference in me. Be it the good or lousy teachers. This may sound strange, but lousy teachers made me treasure the good ones, and respect them, plus I know what to not to do in the future.
For me, I strongly believe everyone has enough intelligence to make it through the education system. Studying is not about liking books. It's about caring for yourself, and giving more options to yourself. Since you're gonna spend the years in school, why not have fun and do well in studies? It can be done. It's just the environment that prevents them from seeing that it can be done. They're wearing coloured glasses. I want to let them see the new things, open new paths for them.
Thanks to Michelle, for telling me the story.
