March 9, 2011- A Teacher, am I?

Weeks before, I got really irritated with one of my students, Castro. He’s one of those lazy students. But, then, something remarkable happened earlier. For the first time, he submitted his project. Miracle, I should say is what happened. Then, a few more minutes later, he came to the faculty room, submitting another requirement. I don’t know what words in my homily intended solely for him struck him the most but, I’m overjoyed with the fact that he did actually had the industry and the initiative to submit his requirements this time.

I have many reasons why I chose to be a teacher and one of those reasons is to motivate students, mostly the lazy ones to find for themselves the essence of studying, much more education. Students like Castro made my first professional teaching life worthy. They made me feel that in my own little way, I am making a difference. I change the world. If this is the essence of me being a teacher, then, I want to be a teacher. I am a teacher!
*for my students of the past, present, and future- one BIG THANK YOU!!!
you give the essence of my career life.
