GOOD LUCK & EMBRACE the beauty of teaching!

               Some people say that teaching is a noble profession, others say that it is only for people who is knowledgeable enough to teach children and others say that it is done by someone who has an authority. So, this is what I say on what teaching is.

             Teaching is a Vocation. Every person is destined to be somebody in his own field. I can say that teaching is easy, but teaching with morals and molding humans for the future is not that simple as 1, 2 and 3. Like everyone can be a teacher but being an effective teacher needs someone with passion and devotion for teaching. Teachers became teachers not because of luck or misfortune, but because she/he is destined to be one. Being a teacher requires a lot of things to gain and even to sacrifice. Therefore, God will not put someone in this profession if he is not capable to do it or if his fate is not on teaching. God has always reasons for everything that happened to us and that is for the person to discover and realize someday.

              Teaching is a Mission. Every human being has a purpose or mission in this world and the main purpose of every human is to produce and protect life. As teachers, we always have goals in everything we teach and do to our students. Why? It is simply because we are teachers who have mission and that is to make each of our students competitive, equipped with the fundamental skills and knowledge and also to be a total human person for his society.

           We teachers are not only teaching to have students with brilliant minds we are also destined to produce human beings with heart and soul for everyone. A human that is capable to love and care for the other people. Teachers are like disciples of Jesus. We are expected to teach and cater the knowledge of our students. What kind of knowledge? Knowledge for subjects, for himself, for life, for morality, and for God and that is through teaching them the knowledge and the truth comes with it and God is the truth and that is the great assigned task of Him to us – to perform with excellence when doing our service.

               Teaching is a Profession. As what a popular saying goes like “You cannot give what you don’t have” just like for us teachers, we cannot fully transform our students to be somebody in this world if in the first place we do not have the mastery of our field or simply the knowledge, and care and love for them. We teachers are their models and considered as their second mother. We do affect them easily that much since they are spending most of their time in school and as being with them every day we have the great responsibility on taking care of our actions in or outside of our classroom. Therefore, we teachers should always have a guidance and that is through thinking that in everything we say and do must be done for the greater glory of GOD.

                Therefore, as a future teacher, we should be thankful that we are taking this noble course because it is only few who are destined to have the patience and knowledge to be shared on the large community. Teaching is a powerful profession. Teachers have the greatest influential duty in this world because they can make either a monster or a hero for the future of a society. Teachers affect and make characters out of their teaching. Teaching is a certified noble profession because it does what God and his disciples tried and trying to do – to teach and spread the truth to His people.
