Education is something that cannot be taken away from you, even if you have money and you

have been famous these can be taken away from you, but education would always be there.

Teachers are one of the most important people in our life. Our correlation with our Teachers
goes to show that even if we are not relatives, one person can still be a factor in transforming
our very own life. When I was a kid, thought pumps up in me saying “Why my teacher loves to
teach us every day even though we don’t have any blood connections with her?”. I have been
amazed of their passion and dedication towards their students. I have to be honest, I really
started to become friendly and to appreciate people because of what my elementary Teacher
displayed their love towards us. My teachers leave good impression over us. During my
elementary days, I have been confused of “Who teacher’s really are? “ Is teaching for female
only?” Those are the queries that I keep on asking and I end up confused about it. During our
elementary days all my teachers are female. Our parents used to ask us about what we want to
pursue or what we want to be. I would say “I want to be a Teacher”. My father would interrupt
me saying “Are you a gay?” then all my brothers and sisters will laugh out loud and so I end up
really disappointed. People in our province see teaching as for female only. I really wonder how
come that people living in our area see this noble profession favoring female person only. I think
this scenario happens also to other remote areas in the country. It’s sad but it’s true.

As I started to make steps towards the real classroom scenario which is through our Classroom
Observation, I have tickled my drive of really going into this profession. I was fascinated by how
Teacher would be an asset in developing the skills and discovering the hidden knowledge of all
the students. One important lesson that I have acquired was to be able to understand the
learner’s diversity. I have noted the fact that every student acquire knowledge and learn
differently depending on the skills they have. Teaching is a very challenging task. As I observed
in the class, I have seen lots of possible worst scenario which may be encountered inside the
classroom. I have learned that we have to be resilient and patient whenever certain problem
inside the classroom arises.

Descriptive Essay

ON BEING A TEACHER
Teaching is a challenging task. One shall perform his duty with
the highest degree of excellence, professionalism, intelligence, skill,
and with utmost devotion and dedication to ensure the quality of
education. It is also the noblest profession. A teacher carries
numerous responsibilities. Her task is not just simply delivering the
lesson inside the four corners of the classroom but rather serves as
the second parent of the students and therefore loves and cares for
her students like her real children. A guidance counsellor, that
whenever her students commit mistakes, a teacher makes the students
realize their wrongdoings. Sometimes, she even serves as charity
worker to her students, when she meets students who are less
fortunate in terms of living, students who would go to school without
taking their breakfast, without baon, without fare, but still persistent
in finishing studies . With this kind of student, a teacher could never
close her eyes but would willingly extend help. The only reward a
teacher hopes or expects from these students is for them to finish
studies and more-to be able to get a good job and earn a living on their
own in the future.
It is said that all professionals with different fields of studies
came from the hands of a very simple mentor...with these thoughts in
my mind and despite the fact that being a teacher is very taxing; still,
I am proud of being one.
As an educator, I strongly believe that nurturing and nourishing
all students must be my utmost concern. I dream of students whose
fullest potentials are developed to make them become responsible
citizens. They must be properly taught to read, write and speak both
English and Filipino. They must use these languages as an avenue for
self-improvement and community building. They must know how to
process ideas, compute numbers, solve problems, apply concepts, and
make decisions for themselves to make them empowered learners. They
must be students who are always hungry for knowledge, seeking truths
and facts of life for them to give meaning for their existence. They
must be valued as persons whose ideas, thoughts, perceptions, views
and beliefs are essential for him and for others. They must be
immersed to the complexities and realities of life so that they would
be able to survive and continue living and valuing life. They must be
regarded as God’s precious gift whose life is essential for his school,
family and community. I can only do these, by making them the heart of
the operation of the school where the program and projects are
students-centered.
