Summary/Abstract: One needs to live one's life meaningfully . In this context, the article deals with the senses of life and focuses on the profession of teachers working in special primary schools, while I perceive their work as a mission. At the end of the article, it presents concrete results that were verified by a quantitative method through two types of questionnaires. The first methodology used was the PROQOL questionnaire, also called the Professional Quality of Life Scale , and the Life Meaningfulness Scale from the author Halama was used to determine the degree of meaningfulness of teachers. The data are interpreted in the last chapter Research and then compared with the theoretical findings of the paper.
