“One looks back with the appreciation to the
brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feeling…”—Carl
Jung
I
learned that teaching is the noblest profession that the world ever has. It may
not guarantee financial security to teachers, it may be full of
disappointments, hardships, and sacrifices, but being a teacher, being someone
who can contribute for the betterment of this world, giving help as best as you
can, and engraving your existence through touching the lives of people are
priceless.
I
realize that teaching is really my perfect vocation. I did not plan to be a
teacher before, I am even surprise myself that I made to enroll myself in
Professional Education. I see that walking in this “less traveled road” is
God’s calling. I think that teaching is a mission entrusted to those who
respond to God’s calling and therefore should not take for granted. I also
realize that teaching is not simply job to do just to be paid. It was never a
job to finish only within the given time. But teaching is making sure that the
students will become a responsible citizen in the society, to become better
human not only for the present time but as well as for the future.
As a
future teacher, I should know that teaching is as same as nursing, accounting,
engineering, a profession. It requires “long years and arduous year of
preparation and a striving for excellence.” For that reason, I must embrace to
go through hardships, long period of time to prepare, and continuing
professional improvements. In order for my future students learn best I must
render quality service.
