My Experience as HOD.

Here I am going to share the real facts that I experienced during my profession as a department head.
             To be a teacher is a high calling, never under estimate it. Teaching is a divine mission to escape the generations from moral death. No one can substitute for a great teacher. I know this. For that reason the career of a teacher is never in my mind. My ambitions is to reach the top of a corporate ladder. But the Almighty created a drama, and for every individual he assigns a role to play. No body can escape from it. That is what is happened to me. In some day I take the role of a teacher. I surely believe it is a divine mission. That a day I took a decision in my mind. ie, I want to be a great teacher in all aspects. I will try my best and is trying now to achieve that level. 
         There is a saying, "As time ripens you will be rewarded that you deserved".  I was designated as the HOD.  But I am not mentally prepared to take this responsible position. In my perspective, a HOD is a person with all wisdom and a man with all answers. If he fails to answer a single question , then he will ruin the generations. ( Questions are not relating to academic). My Principal and my family advised me to take this responsibility. But I give it to some one with my filled mind and I think I am escaped. But the things are not so.
          There is another saying, "You can only play your own role". The designation of HOD again comes to me and the management brings me into that position. This time I never look for escaping options, But to admit the call of God. From that day I am looking for more and more options to improve the department to some extent. During these days I face  a lot of challenges. Some are demoting and some are unimaginable. But God is with me to survive from that challenges.  During these days I got an opportunity to guide intelligent and talented students. I have a characteristics that I openly criticize those who do mistakes and to protect them those who needs.  When I protect some one I never consider the losses that are happened to me. But I never do unethical end injustice. I am always   in the side of justice. Whether it is in the side of students or in the side of teachers. Doing justice is my ultimate aim. By doing justice, someone may hurt. It will not affect me. 
               Some teachers are blaming me for caring the students. But they are not realizing that our students need care, considerations and more over protection. Is some teachers can't control the class well, how they can blame some one. In a classroom, the teacher is the superior authority. But our teachers lack awareness  about it. It is the sole problem of theirs. Their quality degradation. The students of the modern age questions everything and they needs answers. If the teacher fails to answer, the teachers acceptance gone out.  
             I have one advice to teachers, train oneself and gain great wisdom to lead the intelligent and talented students. Don't imitate, this is the time of genuineness.
