POETRY - MODERN POEM

This poem was inspired by a teacher that I met during my last School-Based Experience. We talked a lot about the roles of teachers and her experience as a teacher. The thing that I remembered the most is when she said, "Being a teacher is the easiest way to book a ticket to go to heaven and hell. If you taught the pupils well, and did your job with your heart, then you just made your way to heaven. But if you did your jobs indifferently, and entered the class late, then you just booked an express ticket to hell. So, it’s on you to give or take something valuable to people."
