Smile

A few of my students


One of the best things I love about my profession, teaching, is the abundance of smiles in my life.  From the time I enter the campus in the morning till I leave in the evening, I receive hundreds of innocent smiles.  The very sight of students brings smiles to my lips and they are always reciprocated.  The world is beautiful when people smile.

The adult world is different.  I have noticed that adults rarely reciprocate smiles.  Probably they have their own pains and worries which suppress the smiles even if they might want to smile.  I too have my pains and worries.  But I choose to smile simply because I know that the smiles bring me joy.

Once when a student ceased to smile at me because I gave her less marks in a test than she thought she deserved, I felt hurt.  It took me three days and pretty much explanation to put the smile back on her lips.  But the efforts were worth.  A smile means so much to me.

Every smile is a beautiful flower added to the garden of life.
