Reflections of  ACS (Int'l) teachers 

We asked ACS (International) teachers to share with us what motivated them to choose teaching as their profession and here are some of the responses.

“Growing up, I had some bad teachers and many good ones. Adults tend to forget their childhood, how we were in awe of every-thing yet insecure about anything. Good teachers inspired us to want to do more, to become more, to give more. I want to be that person who makes a child realise they can make a significant difference to our society.“ S. Sivarajan	“I became a teacher because I wanted to carry on learning. We are born to learn and I did not want a job where every day is the same. In teaching, each day is very different and exciting. It is one of those jobs where you get out what you put in.“ Vicki Mcgregor
“I teach to partake in nurturing the young for their generation and the next.“ Tan Siew Hoon	“I teach because I learn something new every day, and every day is unpredictable. And seeing students develop a passion for music because of my passion for it is the most rewarding thing in the world for me. I have a friend and former colleague who is a drama teacher. At some point in rehearsals for each of our annual music-drama productions, he would watch a scene, stop and say to the students: “That is why I love being a teacher”. I often feel the same; I don’t say it, but the students know when I’m having one of those special moments because of what they’ve achieved.“ Tony Ryan
