Nowadays, teachers are challenged with so many hurdles and obstacles that sometimes can discourage us. There are a lot of bad issues reported about education’s world today. Teacher’s competency, education policies and problematic youths are some of the highlight in the press.
With so many challenges around, sometimes as a teacher we feel discouraged and frustrated. As for me, the only thing that encourages me to stay in this education line is the ‘the joy of teaching’ itself. I am attracted to the teacher’s role where I watch my students’ progress and grow everyday. The satisfaction of knowing that I have made a contribution in changing their lives really motivates me to stay in this job.
Teaching is special because it offers us a lot of unforgettable moments that really make a difference in our lives. I will always remember the face of my students when they say “I get it” or “Ooh”. These are the moments that I treasure the most and for me it is something magical. Plus, it is only exclusive for those who are playing the role as a teacher.
In general, teaching is a job that is challenging, exhausting and full of disappointments.Yet if we really take time to recall the magical moments when our small and significant efforts have brought a huge impact to our students, then maybe you will realize that teaching is a wonderful calling.
