Any anecdote that motivates you

to continue being a teacher?
One of the anecdotes that keep me going are the difficulties
that some students face, since some of them have problems
of violence and economic problems that make it difficult for
them to continue with their studies.
One of them which marked me more is that one of my
students told me that he saw how his father was murdered
and his mother kidnapped, and until then he did not know
anything about his mother, leaving him and his sister alone
because their relatives did not want to take care of them.
without a doubt this anecdote makes me feel that I would
like to help all the students who are going through this type
of problems, so that they can do their best in life.

very different characteristics from the others in terms
