Being a high school teacher?

I have to say that I am a morning person. Many times I got up with a clear thought or idea in my mind as if I had thought over it the whole night during sleep and had made the decision just before waking up. From a Christian perspective, I receive this kind of idea in the morning.

So this time is: being a high school teacher with a concrete goal---bringing impact to the high-form students.

This career option would have been quite unimaginable in the past. First, I can still vividly recall the horrible dump stupid high school teachers in my life. Those who had heart could not teach; but worse, most who did not have heart nor could they teach. Second, though teaching is indeed a professional job, it is generally perceived as less professional in Hong Kong. Moreover, it is not especially attractive in monetary return. There could be many more reason to go, say, getting stuck with basically the same staff in the next 20-30 years---worse than a bad marriage for the relationship is one to many. Worse, the working environment is not rich in stimuli, that is, it is damn boring.

Nevertheless, this is an option to me now. I need a job after my psychology program. I am surrounded by some people who are highly passionate about education. There are many human lives in high school, which God see as precious. From psychology, probably due to contrast effect, being a passionate teacher among a group of dump stupid ones could bring a lot of impact to students. Without this vision teaching is not even an option.

Let's see what will happen.
