Dr. Lynette Johnson

I chose to be a teacher because teaching is not just a profession, it is a mission. Children, who are like clay are moulded and shaped by the hands of a teacher. I chose to teach because being with children is like being endowed with perpetual youth. The love, laughter, mischief, creativity, and imagination of children are like an eternal fountain of joy and vitality. Monotony never sets into this profession as each child is God’s special creation to be nurtured. Each child is an individual who needs to be dealt with in a way that is never the same. Each day unfolds a new learning experience for the teacher. So there’s no juncture in a teacher’s life that she can claim she’s reached her zenith. I realized that through teaching I would be able to fulfill my soul’s craving to make a contribution to shaping the world of tomorrow. I chose the profession because of the passionate conviction that in it lies my special calling.
