IF I WERE A SECRETARY

                                      IF I WERE A  SECRETARY

"If I were Secretary of Education work number one would be to surround myself with the best advisors possible outstanding classroom teachers and then strive to put their expertise to good use in the policy arena. I would acknowledge what regular people everywhere already know: It is the teacher who makes the difference. High standards and get tough policies never will succeed until every classroom is staffed with a skilled and caring educator. Every dime would go toward putting the right people in the places they're most needed and keeping them there.

It is wonderful to have wishes. Even though they may not come true, there is no harm in dreaming.

. I do not see any harm in having every luxury for myself, if in turn I can do something worthwhile for the poor. It has been my dream to see each child well nourished. When I see children on the streets with no food I feel great pain. Although their parents try their best, they cannot provide their children with food, clothing and shelter. Then they turn to begging.

If I were a millionaire I would do my best to provide permanent shelter, food and clothing for the poor. I would open schools for them where the children could learn I would help them to be so independent that they can find fruitful employment for themselves.

I would also build hospitals so as to provide them with good medical facilities. Mongolia has progressed a lot and we do have good medical facilities but the poor people cannot afford these. If a poor child is sick, there is every possibility that she may die due to lack of medicines and doctors. I would like to build a hospital with modern facilities where people will get medical assistance free of cost.

I would donate money to social service organizations like destitute homes, orphanages, homes for the aged and reformatories.

Unfortunately when one becomes extremely rich, one he forget the plight of those who are less fortunate. My motto would be, "live and let live". In fact I would do all that I could for my parents too so that they may not have to break their backs working for us. I would make them so comfortable that even in their old age they would feel great to be alive. I would like to enjoy the fruits of money but I would always remain sensitive and sympathetic to the agony of those who are less fortunate.

It will also help in the uplift of our country. I will also try to make arrangements for night schools for the illiterate people who work in the day to earn their bread. Books, copies and other statio­nery items will be provided free of cost in this program of adult edu­cation

If these dreams of my life become true, I will feel satisfied.
