“When I was in the secondary grades, I started having the passion for teaching and to share my love for learning. I saw my teachers as role models, how passionate they were and that was the key for young children’s success in education. After I completed my higher education I decided to enter the field of education. I believe that becoming a teacher is more than just an educator; we become a mentor, a friend with whom they can share anything. We become teachers to make a difference in their lives of as many students as we can. After I became a teacher, it didn’t feel like just work but more of fun and laughter with the kids and colleagues. Every day is different, every day is a new adventure. I want to inspire my students to chase their dreams and be the best they can be.
So teaching became my passion and I have been in this field for the past 16 years.”
- Ms. Aiminath Rehendhi, Leading Teacher at Billabong High International School -
