1.What is a Teacher?
- Who is a teacher? It might be a general question but it is a thought=provoking quetion.
A teacher is someone whom teaches us in their own way. It does not have to be a
teacher from your schooling time; they can be anyone around us.

It can be our parents, siblings, relatives, friends or it might even be a stranger! A

teacher doesn’t have to be in classroom to teach you things, we have to go beyond the
context. We have to accept the fact that while we are living, everything is teaching you
something. Not just human beings but also the nature around us is teaching us some of
the values that we should be upholding.

So, we cannot specify the term teacher to humans alone. In dictionaries, teacher means
that a person who teaches, especially in school. This is a common explanation that we
all give when we were asked to give a defnition. As I have mentined before, learning
something new or getting a better understanding of a certain interest from a person is
not only a teacher, there are other matters you can take as your mentor.

For me, time is the best teacher I have. Time teaches me a lot of things as I grew up.
But this one lesson that I always remind myself;

2.Explain Teaching as a Professsion.

- A teaching profession is one where an educated individual in a learnt field teaches
others their knowledge. They also very receptive to their students and invested in
teaching them and ensuring they are successful in their endevaors once they leave the
class.
- It is the profession of educating individuals and shaping through positive
encouragement how they are able to understand topics presented to them and able to
relate back what you are attempting to teach them with a sense of confidence and
enthusiasm attached to what they have learned.
