Being A Teacher Poem by James Callos Jordan

To be a teacher,
That’s what I want to be.

To impart knowledge,
And enrich their minds;
Let them discover,
Aspects of life.

To share my principles,
My beliefs and way of thinking;
For as not to make the same mistake,
That I did in my life.

To teach them values,
That our forefathers taught us;
Love, Respect, Discipline,
And all that it governs.

Giving all I could give,
Exhausting all I know;
Giving them wisdom,
And making them more than I am.

And when the time comes that I retire,
They’ll be my greatest achievement;
My victory, my glory and my pride,
Lastly with a head up high I say: Mission Accomplished.
