Abstract:

It has been said that the glory of God is intelligence. It is with this glorious commodity that the teacher works in inspiring and informing students - the two "I's" of teaching. Teaching, like love, is "a many splendored thing" involving not only the mastery of subject matter but also complex interpersonal relationships. The teacher finds himself interrelating not only with students currently in the classroom but with those who have gone on into the working field. He also relates to his peers, to the public, and, finally, he must relate happily with himself, saying with Shakespear, "To thine own self be true." Realizing the worthwhile contribution to the good of society that teaching can accomplish, I chose my profession.
