Teaching is a very strenuous profession. It is not a job where you will just discuss the lecture and go away, rather, it demands a lot from you - time, effort, optimistic and flexible mind, deep understanding - everything. It entails interaction between the teacher and the students in a way that the teacher should have the prowess to arouse the interest of his/her students in education. As a teacher and a facilitator, one must feed an extra learning support to his/her students which has a big impact to them to be positive in schooling - that will also result to a positive and successful education.
Honestly talking, I don't mean sacrificing my sleep just to make lesson plans and visual aids and becoming a teacher has never been on my wish list - it was my mother who wanted it. It's not that I hate teaching, I just can't imagine myself being a teacher. When I was in High School, I have list of courses I want to take - BS Accountancy, BS Psychology, BS Criminology - but never have crossed in my mind the BEEd or BSEd. But here I am, ended up being an Education student.
When I finish the first semester of year one, I thought of shifting a course but still ended up enrolling myself in the College of Education for the second semester. Year one had finished and I thought again of shifting to AB Filipino or AB English for a reason that I failed my major and my peers from other colleges were all shifting to the said courses, but still I ended up staying in the College of Education. lol
Year two had finished and year three is coming and I have came to a sudden realization that I want to teach. I found myself sharing what I have learned to others younger than me and I have never been overwhelmed in my whole life when someone would say "'Te patudlo ko sa akong assignment sa Math bi. Gusto nako ni matun-an" Since then, I knew, I knew that I want to be a teacher and I want to make a difference and create a better world for my future students. Since then, I knew that teachers are not only teachers - they are those who unveil the hidden potentials of their students. Teachers are not only teachers - they are those who fit themselves to their students' shoes in order for them to fully understand them. Teachers are not called teachers by only discussing the lecture alone - it's beyond that, it's deeper than that - it's teaching with a heart.
I may not be graduating next academic year and may sound bragging but I can say that I am now ready to teach 21st century learners. I am now ready to create an informative as well as fun learning environment for the students. I am now ready to teach my future students to the best of my knowledge. I am now ready to become a teacher.
The most important knowledge teachers need to do good work is a knowledge of how students are experiencing learning and perceiving their teacher’s actions.
