How to Become a Teacher in India




The image of the teacher is very important in transforming little buds into blooming flowers through their care and nourishment. Teachers accept their students as a bud and put their all efforts and life to make them successful like a flower. A good teacher is like a candle, consumes ownself to light the way for others. They make their students feel at home in school.
