Teaching is a noble profession. Once you’ve been a teacher you will be loved by your students. They will thank you for the things you’ve shared to them academically, spiritually, and mentally. For letting them discover and explore things on their own. Teachers are the students’ models. Whatever the teacher teach, they will listen and believe because teachers are their sirs and mams. Teachers are really teachers… but am I going to be one of those teachers?
This is my 3rd yr. as a secondary education student. I must say, though we’re still in our training stage, it’s really not easy to step in to the world of teaching. One must be able to have knowledge, skills, and competency. But too bad those things are not in me. As I’ve known myself I don’t have enough knowledge to supply the learning of my students. I know there are a lot of things that I wanted to share with them yet I know that I don’t have the skills to convince them and I’m not responsible enough to face a lot of responsibilities and competency is not within me as a future TEACHER.
As I’ve observed my teachers (from elementary up to the present) my teachers are really amazing! I mean they’re extra-ordinary. They possess those kinds of ability and when they’re teaching I was like “WOW! ANG GALING TALAGA NI MAM/SIR” I admire them because they’re really intelligent. By means of discussion they can convince and persuade students and the students really learn a lot from them. They work hard not for the salary but for the future of the youths and they spent half of their lives teaching and they’re really selfless.
And I asked myself... Do I really belong in this profession? I concluded that I can never be like my teachers. Because as based on my own capability, it is still futile, it is never enough to be a competent teacher. And honestly, I don’t have any chances to be like them. I’m not good at correcting grammar and I often misspelled words. Though it’s a normal mistake for others but for teachers it is a humiliation. But as much as I want; I am willing to learn. But I don’t find myself in teaching field anymore.
Some of you may raise their eyebrows upon me and will ask…”why did you take up education then?”
Like weather, I usually change my mind. I know it’s kind of weird but really I am one of the undecided person existing in this world. I don’t mind my future even before and it’s annoying because I don’t like to end up what I’ve started. Still, I’m learning… and that’s what matters most I guess.
And though I will not end up as a teacher, I can still share my knowledge by means of being a writer. Yes, I want to be a writer someday, a writer who give feedbacks and criticisms to the wrong doings of individuals or even the society. I want to open the minds by means of persuasion, conviction, and, writings. Though I’m not as good as others, still there’s a single hope within me that people may appreciate my writings. And before doing so, I know I need to practice a lot to attain my career as a writer. As long as I have the heart and the desire to write, I know that I could be a writer someday.
I owe my course a lot; I thank secondary education for opening my mind and helping me to develop my skills in writing. Even if I will not end up as a teacher, still I can be able to teach and give discussion not by means of lecturing handling a chalk but by means of lecturing using my pen and my paper.
