Today, in his fourth clip, Bedford High School secondary school teacher Addison talks about doing his first teaching shift in a while and how his partner Rachel was doing a 7am to 7pm shift at the walk-in centre.

Addison also discusses about how he's grateful to do a job that he "loves doing" and a career that he "really wants to do." He said he had missed talking to the children and interacting and said that it made it more difficult in the situation he is in .

The 27-year-old, who recently became a father for the first time, has released five clips discussing what is on his mind that particular weekday.

His child, along with his Rachel, also feature in the diary entries.

The videos mark Thank A Teacher Day, which was on Wednesday (May 20) - the national campaign aimed at encouraging people across the country to consider teaching as a career.
