I became a teacher twenty years ago. Compared with my classmates， I was upset about the job， which was very boring and hard in my eyes. I even didnt pay attention to it. I finished the work mechanically everyday， but I didnt stop struggling with the fate for a short time. I made up my mind to change the situation anyhow. Things changed on my first Teachers Day. What happened on that day is the deepest memories in my life. I came into the classroom as usual that morning. The same feeling；the same thought；no expectation； no passion. I greeted the whole class with “good morning” and asked them to sit down. To my surprise， they didnt. Instead， they sang the song I taught them My Thankful Heart together， with gesture. I noticed that many boys couldnt follow the gesture， but they did very seriously. I couldnt describe the feeling with words. Tears were in my eyes. I was so shocked that my lips trembled. With the aim to finish my duty， I taught them the song. I never imagine that they， my students， will sing the song for me one day. That moment， I was not only happy but also ashamed. I was happy because of my lovely， sensible and thoughtful students. I was ashamed because of the ideas in my deep heart that they never know. After class， I received lots of cards from them. When I read the childish handwritings， even including some mistakes， I had a sense of pride and achievement that I never had. Among these was a hand-made card， the most shocking to me was that it came from Wang Yu Pei， Who never focus on my class. His English was so poor that he even didnt know which page we should be in class. I once asked the naughty boys to have a talk with me to explain their behaviors. Sometimes， I couldnt control myself and shouted at them. Of course， Wang Yu Pei was no exception. I no longer dared to hope that he will like his English teacher， me. But when I saw the card， when I read the words he wrote on it， when I was really sure what that meant， when I read the sentence word by word “Dear sister， thank you for your hard work”， I was deeply moved once again. I am their teacher， but they call me elder sister！

Who says that it must be the teacher teaches the student，who says that they are ungrateful， when talking about some poor countries， they will be very quiet； when seeing the hard working person just like their parents， they will become silent； when hearing the touching story， they are also moved to tears； when discussing their future， they will be full of confidence.

When I see the smiling faces， when I hear their lovely voices， a strong， warm feeling will feel through my whole body quickly. At that moment， I decide to put all my heart into the job. I love these children， just like teaching， perhaps contrary. Anyhow， it is my students that encourage me， support me. Maybe I cant be the best teacher in the future， but I will try my best to be.endprint
