Read the text & Answer The Following Question ;

Shahana’s husband Mr Zamil Huda works in a company office. His firm has a vacant position. On several days he told Shahana, “I want you to apply for the post.” But Shahana said, “Please don’t insist. I’m joining the local high school as a teacher.” “What do you find in a teaching job, Shahana? I don’t want you to do it”. Her in-laws were also on his side. Yet Shahana joined the school against the will of the family. Weeks, months went by. Every day Shahana helps with the household work. Every day she works hard to prepare her lessons. Every day she goes to school, teaches her students and helps both weak and bright ones. They often come to her in the teachers’ room, in the corridor and even on the road, and talk to her about any academic or personal problems. Within a year Shahana becomes a very good teacher. Students give her salam wherever they see her. Teachers, even the Headteacher, admire her. Parents and other people in the community come to see her at home and at the school and pay her great respect. One day her husband said, “You’ve opened my eyes, Shahana. Teaching is more than a job. I didn’t know it. Congratulations!” “Thank you,” she smiled. “Tell me Shahana, how you could be such a great teacher!” Zamil wanted to know

“I don’t only teach my subject, I care for my students. I love them. I myself demonstrate good behaviour and inspire them to be good. That’s all I do,” replied Shahana
