Last Monday, the roles were reversed. Instead of sitting in my usual seat, listening, I stood at the front of the stage, speaking. It may have been just a presentation, but the moment I faced the class, I felt a heavy wave of
responsibility.
Suddenly, every pair of eyes was locked on me, waiting for guidance. In that instant, I learned a powerful lesson: teaching is incredibly difficult.
As I spoke, I saw how easily the class could drift away—a whisper here, a distraction there. At first, I smiled, but then the reality hit me: this is the challenge our teachers face every single hour of every single day.
That short experience revealed the hidden side of this profession—the immense patience and invisible hard work behind every lesson. It taught me something no textbook ever could: our teachers are unsung heroes. They nurture us with the care of a parent, and they deserve our utmost respect and gratitude.
