When I was a child I admired my teachers so much especially at times when they inspire me to do things right. They introduced the world to me and many things that I should know about life. I was like a little bird trying to spread my wings to fly with my parents and teachers teaching me how to soar high above the sky. They became my inspiration to continue the journey that I have started and to carry out my goals in life. Because of them, I consider school as my second home: it looks like heaven to me. My past has a great impact to my present existence. It gave me an idea on what to do with my life. Many people says that teaching or being a teacher is the noblest profession. To mold the future and to inspire other people is a big task. For me, teaching is not just a profession but a vocation that will help convert humankind to a better one. To touch other people's heart and live an inspiring life is one of the many things that it can give us. Imagine a world without a teacher, full of sorrows, misbehavior, injustice and worst is violence. Aside from family, I consider teachers as one of the primary pillars of our society that will inculcate good values, nationality, love, peace, equality, and justice to every Filipino in the country. On the contrary, what happened to those pupils who once upon a time dreamed to be mentors, where are they now? Some of them changed their mind and became nurses, engineers, architects and doctors because of the higher salary that they can get from it. It is a fact that teaching can only propose a simple and descent lifestyle for you and your family, but happiness and fulfillment is the best thing it can offer.
Few years from now, I do not know where I am, but I hope and I pray that maybe someday, I could teach students about the values and basic information of life.
