Reflection
I AM A TEACHER but I never dream to be one. If not because of my parents who encouraged me particularly my mother I will never be a teacher by profession. As I can still remember when I was a child I saw my mother performed her different roles in life- a mother, to her children, a wife, and a career woman ( an elementary teacher ). There were several instances when my father and mother had misunderstanding because of her job. I also witnessed how she handled some difficult situation in made decision for her family and profession. when one of my siblings got sick and mom had to attend a seminar. but she never gave up those situation made me realized that being a teacher is not so easy theres a lot of responsibilities attached to it and you will never become rich in terms of worldly possessions, that's why when I took the entrance exam in college,education is never included in my choices. But every time I asked my mother..." Why did you choose to be a teacher, even if you know that you will never become rich? But her answer is always the same every time she answered, enthusiasm and pride is there......" I am not after the materials things or worldly profession but I am keeping my treasures in heaven. her answer made me ponder, and I become curious. until I become a teacher and now I understand what she meant. treasures, she's referring to were good deed she'd done to her students when she was still in the teaching profession. even now, she still wanted to teach but because of her health condition she can't materialized what she wanted.and I felt sorry for her. I know how much she loved teaching. she committed her life for her students and gave her best for her profession. as my legacy, I'm continuing her dreams. with my teaching experiences for almost ten years I had an in depth understanding of what my mother was saying. treasures are the good deeds you've done to your students. touching and changing their lives to become worthy individuals.
