St. Sebastian School

–Teachers of St. Sebastian English Primary School, Aquem

I am filled with gratitude to the Almighty for the four decades and more in the teaching profession which to me was a vocation. A teacher is not a teacher by choice but a call to serve and nurture the young minds. There could be no other profession that can surpass the role of a teacher; for a teacher is an embodiment of values, knowledge, talents and a repository of love and compassion. No two days at the school are similar as each is tailored to suit the anxious tender minds of the students at different stages.
This is what makes the life of a teacher challenging and yet exciting and wanting to do more as there is no limit as to how much!
As l recall my life at school, it has been nothing short of a rewarding career, an eventful journey filled with sweet memories.

I was filled with excitement as I wondered what my First Day at School would be – new books, new friends, new teachers, new classroom and to crown it all the new season!

Waking up earlier than otherwise I rushed with the routine to be early to school. To my surprise the school was all decked up with the words ‘WELCOME to the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL’. What Joy! It was a different air! Everyone around appeared cheerful as if longing  to be back to our second home to learn, to play, to laugh and acquire the needed values to be imparted to us by our much loved teachers.
