Unlike any other professions, teaching is an arduous occupation filled with multiple roles. Despite the numerous tasks they accomplished everyday, teachers have more reasons to find joy in teaching.
When teachers see a kindergarten child, who can write his name, or a grade one pupil who is able to read, or a learner who can solve mathematical problem or can recite a poem in class for the first time, we experienced indescribable joy that we became an instrumental to learn certain acts.
There’s also a feeling of great happiness when students behave well even the teacher is out because proper values were inculcated to them, when students religiously study their lessons because they knew that it is essential preparation to their chosen field or career in the future, when students perform and showcase their various talent after the trainings and exercises given by their mentors, and when students bring home the bacon for the school, division, and region after rigid series of coaching.
Immeasurable merriment is also felt when we see our former students take part in nation-building as doctors, nurses, architects, engineers, businessmen, judges, lawyers, military officers, policemen, priests, bishops, nuns, local and national officials, administrative aides, carpenters, farmers, fishermen, security guards, OFWs, clerks and the like.
Above all these, the greatest gratification the teachers get in teaching is when after unselfishly offered their selves, students graduated or not, still recognize, value, and honor them as part of what they have become in the society.
Teaching is more than a profession, it is a treasure to keep and to be cherished forever. Teaching is full of fun when teachers only knew how to love and appreciate this noble mission.
