Recalling why I become a teacher

Tweet

Sometimes it pays to remember things of the past. Just like this one why I prefer to become a classroom teacher. When I was a kid I like to play a teacher. I gathered my fellow kids in the neighborhood and acted as a teacher for them. I put up an improvised blackboard. I gave them several pieces of paper and pencils to use after the class to evaluate them. I was also too strict with them as what I had observed from my teachers at school. When I completed my high school studies, I right away enrolled to education course, particularly the elementary education. I had completed my enrollment and attended the first week of classes. When my elder brother learned it, he told me to shift to commerce course for there were a lot of books and references available in our close relatives house. I had no choice. I obeyed him. After I graduated,, I got a job in our local bank. I worked for 5 years and I never gave up of taking my first preferred vocation of being a teacher. When I was off from my bank job, I studied in the college until I finished it by studying part time. I took the teacher's board and passed. I resigned from the bank, applied in the Division Office and I was hired. What a happy moment recollecting all those things. I have never failed myself of my favorite vocation to be a teacher to the kids. God is kind. He guides me in my journey in life especially answering my prayers.
