A Teacher's Life

It’s been raining lately.

I look outside the window and I wait for it to end. My internet is lagging. My camera is frozen. I can’t seem to hear them. I guess this is the New Normal.

We have been used to these moments of blindness and limited visions. Sometimes, we find ourselves trapped in a cycle of waking, walking, showering, working, and sleeping. We reach a point where we feel alone, and we feel tired.

But we are teachers. We continue, and we grow. Even in the virtual frames and nameless papers, or loss of connection and the geographical distance, or even the missing modules and the unsubmitted outputs, we remain as teachers. We continue, and we grow.

Despite the circumstances, there are teachers out there who will strive to do their duties even during rainy days. Especially, the rainy days. They are heroes who find their hair damped in raindrops, and skins as thick as the ice. But they fight.

I made this video in celebration of the World Teacher's Day. I went to a beach, took a video of the sea, and realized how much it visualized the life of a teacher. If you are a teacher, I appreciate you.

Happy Teachers' Day to all educators.
