I am a Teacher  

Posted by JR Lopez Gonzales in , , , , , ,

After my fifteen years of education at school, finally, I was able to apply and share my knowledge to other people.

I've never imagined I'll have this kind of opportunity, really. I submitted my resume last April with little hopes for the profession. But with God's grace, I was able to have this. All I ever wanted before was just to have a decent job while studying law at the same time.

I would want to work because for me, it is the time to do something useful after getting an undergraduate degree, and besides, it will be a big help to my parents financially wherein they're supporting the expenses of my sister for Bar Exam Review.

I know I won't get rich by being a teacher, as what I tell to my students. But there's a fulfillment of being one. All the great men that I've read, most of them were teachers. Socrates, Plato, Rizal, Confucius, John Rawls, Jesus, many more. I believe that sharing someone else's knowledge is one of the best and noblest professions of them all.

As to now, I still have many challenges. Teaching in the morning and studying law in the evening is not that easy. I know. But I need to survive. But either way, whatever happens in the next chapter of my life, my teaching career here in Saint Michael's College will be one of those memories I will never forget.

To all the Teachers in the world, Happy Teacher's Day! :-)
