Are You A Teacher? This Is For You

Recently, I went to a bank in Ibadan. While the banker was attending to me, there was a kind of delay due to network issues. Then the banker decided to engage me in a conversation.

He said, “What do you do?” I responded calmly, “I am a teacher.”

“That’s great. So you train the next generation?” he continued.

“Yes, I impact people. I mould lives,” I quipped.

The conversation continued but then the man said something that I cannot forget.

He said, “My teachers contributed to who I am today. I still remember the words and counsel of my teachers.

“I still relate with the good teachers that made positive impacts in my life. For those that spoke negatively, I don’t have anything to do with them again.”

At the end of the conversation, he said to me: ‘Thank you for building the next generation. God bless you.”

I was touched. I was moved. I was honoured.

Dear teacher, God sees your efforts; people see too. Your labour of love is not in vain. Keep up the good work.

God bless you.
