I used to hate the teaching profession. It is because I observed that most teachers get old easily, and they only have very few time for themselves. Aside from the fact that teachers have very small salary. And yet, the responsibility and all the tasks that a teacher is obliged to do, are too big and complicated. This is the reason why, many high school graduating students would rather prefer to take up other courses such as nursing, commerce, computer courses, dentistry etc, which promises big salaries in the future when they finally get the job. And I would say, that I’m one of them. I’m one of those who hated this course. Yet, after more than a year of being in this course, and finally experiencing how it really feels when your already teaching, I learned not only to understand the real value of this profession, but most especially, I’ve learned how to love and appreciate it. It feels good when your students call you “maam”, and and it feels good knowing that you’ve somehow contributed to the development of individuals. So, even if teaching is not an easy profession, even if it requires a lot of effort and time, I would still say that teaching is such a great profession which pays you back something which cannot be bought my money or any material possession.
