Opposite to the fulfilling side of teaching is the fact that it can be a draining and frustrating profession. Amidst bundles of test paper, innocent and naive minds, interpersonal misunderstandings and societal expectations, teachers need a ray of light, a smile of gratitude and a story of passion.
