Title: A New Role
Tom had always dreamed of becoming a teacher. As a child, he used to play with his siblings and pretend to teach them. Over time, he grew into a patient and kind person, which made him perfect for the job. After college, he started working at a local school.
At first, things were difficult. Tom was often tired and sometimes became sick due to stress. However, he didn’t give up. Slowly, things began to change. He became more confident and his students began to trust him.
One day, he helped a shy student speak in front of the class. That student later said, “You helped me become brave.” Tom realized he had turned into the kind of teacher he always wanted to be.
As years passed, Tom became famous in the area for his unique teaching methods. He stayed humble and always remembered how he started. He never wanted to evolve into someone who only cared about awards. Instead, he remained focused on helping students grow and become the best versions of themselves.

タイトル:新しい役割
トムはずっと教師になることを夢見ていました。子どもの頃、兄弟たちと遊びながら教えるふりをしていたのです。やがて彼は、忍耐強く優しい人に成長し、それが教師にぴったりの性格でした。大学を卒業すると、地元の学校で働き始めました。
最初は大変でした。トムはよく疲れ、ストレスで体調を崩すこともありました。しかし、あきらめませんでした。少しずつ状況が変わり、彼は自信をつけ、生徒たちから信頼されるようになりました。
ある日、トムは内気な生徒がクラスの前で話すのを助けました。その生徒は後で「あなたのおかげで勇気が持てました」と言いました。トムは、自分がなりたかった教師になれたことを実感しました。
年月がたち、トムは独自の指導法で地域に知られるようになりました。でも彼は謙虚なままで、初心を忘れませんでした。賞ばかりを気にする人にはなりたくなかったのです。代わりに、生徒たちが成長し、自分らしくなる手助けをし続けました。
