I Wanna Be

(Spoken Poetry for Teacher's Day)

Before I graduate, I asked myself, who do I wanna be?
I wanna be an...
Actress, a singer, a dancer, a musician, a doctor, a nurse, a physician, a psychiatrist, an engineer, an architect, a chef, a pilot, a flight attendant, an astarunaut, a mother, a father, a sister, a brother, everything!
I wanna be someone.
So, my question is... Who do you want to be?
I tell you, there is no better profession than being a teacher; cause our teacher is the best.
"Hey, teacher, I want to be an engineer," and so he teaches you how to be an engineer.
"Hey teacher, I want to know about science cause I am gonna be a scientist!"
And so, she teaches you how to be a scientist.
"Hey teacher, I want to be a known doctor!"
And so, he teaches you how to be a doctor.
I tell you, there is no better profession than being a teacher.
My mom once said, "I am your first teacher, I teached you the first numbers and phrases, the lesson on your first mistake, the celebration of your first success."
And so, I became the person I am today.
There is no better profession than being a teacher.
A teacher who teached you everything you should know so that you could be who you wanted to be.
A teacher who pushed you to your limits just for you to do your best.
The teacher who just never teach on academics, but they teached you about life, about future, about past, about the present.
The teacher who taught me how to be successful in everything that I do.
The teacher who showed me to be responsible in all the tasks I have.
The teacher who taught me not to just dream and believe but aim! Go for it! Go for it 'cause you can do it!
The teacher who worked hard for us to learn
The teacher who brought the knowledge that we earned
Them who worked day and night
Repeating the daily schedules and studying their lessons for tommorow
Them who are sculpturing the students bright future
Them who sacrificed their time just to give us knowledge
So that we could mold ourselves to the brighter
Them who I look up the most
'Cause they give us our future, they give us our strength, they give us the light
So that we could stand up for ourselves
Open our wings and fly up higher than the sun
They are our strength
So my question is, who do you want to be?
Because, me, I want be someone who look up to my teachers.
The reason why I have my strength to go on.
The reason why I wanna be a teacher.
