I’ve always loved being around children, but teaching them has made that love grow even deeper. There’s something special about sharing what I know and watching their eyes light up when they finally understand something. During my days in the Tara Basa tutoring program, working with students who struggle with reading and writing became one of the most meaningful parts of my routine.

Being with them every day made me realize so many things. I learned that children don’t just need knowledge they need patience, encouragement, and someone who believes in them. I realized that even the smallest progress, like reading a new word or writing a short sentence, is a big step for them and deserves to be celebrated. I also learned that every child learns at their own pace, and sometimes all they really need is someone who won’t give up on them.

Those moments with them showed me the real purpose of teaching. It’s not just about lessons and activities it’s about touching lives, building confidence, and being part of their journey. And every smile, every “I get it now,” and every little breakthrough reminded me why I chose to teach in the first place.
