Why I Become a 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 a week of classes. When my elder brother learned that I took up education course, he told me to shift to commerce course. He told me that there were a lot of books and references available in our close relatives house.

How My Pupils Remember Me as Teacher 25 Years Ago

Twenty-Five years ago (sometime in 1990) my grade VI elementary school pupils in La Carlota Elementary School 1 had written some notes for me.

My teaching moment 25 years ago

Those notes which as of this posting time I still have them in my possession. I have treasured them. They are a true reflections of my calling, my profession as a teacher before.

I have read them once again to reminisce those good old and even better days of my teaching job. I want to recall how my pupils regarded me as their teacher for two decades and a half ago. I know every teacher in the different parts of the world would be celebrating the World Teachers' Day on October 5 in their own unique way.
