“Teaching as a Vocation”
I’ve been through, a lot of challenges in life. There were times that I was confused of
what job I will pursue until I decided to teach and I found out that teaching is my fashion
base on my two years in teaching I have concluded that myself is designed to become a
teacher and I could say that I was one of those who were called to be a teacher .And I
devote and commit myself in teaching. I will always make sure that my students are
learning at their best.

2. “Teaching as a Mission”
“Teaching is not just a job, it is more than a job, and it is a mission to fulfill” .For
two years in teaching I was task to teach varied subjects with varied learners. I faced
different responsibilities. And I’ll just take it all as an opportunity and a challenge.
Now, being a teacher I am motivated I had to be resourceful, competent, so as to
ensure that my students not only learned the expected competencies but were able to
acquire the necessary skills, values as knowledge that could prepare them in their
future careers. I will see to it that I did my job well and that is to “teach” to obtain
optimum learning.
“Teaching as a profession”
For now I could really say that teaching is my profession and I will always take it
as a great privilege. And to be more self- equipped with my profession I will never
hesitate to undergo process that would be helpful to my profession. In fact, I am
currently taking up my master’s degree for my professional development. Moreover, I
dedicate myself in teaching and I always aim for excellence and commit myself to moral
and religious values.
