MY TEACHER , MY HERO: CELEBRATING TEACHER'S DAY

Its's  my  five years and a half in my profession as a teacher in college. I started my career on 2006. At first it was just out of nothing but trying to pay my gratitude so I accepted the offer as a college instructor in the school where I  graduated my degree. It was not really my desire to teach because i really wanted to work in a radio station as a reporter of a disc jockey. However with the influence of my former teacher and our registrar now she retired, she push me to be one of their  instructors in  the mass communication department. My first day in teaching was not that good. I was eaten by nervousness that made me so fast in speaking and disorganized lecture. Every time I gazed my students as if I was melted like a candle. It was a horrible day for me, my first day in teaching. Then i asked one of my co-teachers and also a mentor, she told to be calm and show some authority in speaking and of course do some research related to my topic.I was hesitant if i could make it. The following days were seemed OKAY to me. I was able to communicate my students, throw some relevant jokes and of course had slowly captured their attention. I know that my students  that time had also did some adjustment to me.When they see me coming inside the classroom all of them were seemed excited and waited any words that might come out in my mouth. I just do not know yet they also helped me for my task, and that task was to teach them. It was a wonderful day for me when  I realized that i have the gift in teaching.

              There were moments when I pondered that it is really fulfilling when  I see students agreed on what i wanted to say. Really, teaching was not my dream yet until now i see myself standing in front of the students, injecting them my principles in life and inspire them everyday, without asking for any high compensation. My mother and my aunt used to tell me will i stay this kind of life (teaching) and i said to them I dont know. It is really fulfilling when i see my students now working and have already their works. Everytime we see each other like in the malls or any places they used  to utter " HI SIR" with that simple words it means a lot to me. As if i had a great influence to them, then everything recalls, the memories i have had with them, the laughers and tears. Sometimes my strict implementation of the rules and regulations within the class made my students discourage , yet  i could easily feel it, then i have to please them again and trying to pamper them like a mother to her son. There are times that when you have a personal problems all your class lessons would  be affected, you tend to become irritable and sometimes not entertaining students' inquiries and questions. They said that as a teacher you have to leave your personal problems when you enter the classroom, yet i cannot avoid it sometimes. Thanks  to all the students who have patiently understand  me also. Sometimes i lost my interest in teaching , not because i have not studied my lesson by also the other interferences in my life. I am a pretty busy person. I remember those days when i was really mad with  my students i almost carry the table  and throw it in front for the madness that i had yet with all control and trying to convinced not to to do that thing. Thanks to my mentors.All these stuffs that i had  been through  I could say that I am still happy, happy not because I teach but because I conquered all the test as a teacher and have contributed many wonderful things and principles in life that my students would bring when they succeeded in life, at least they would not forget me as their teacher, as their mentor and I would always be remembered by them. To all my former students so long and thank you for being a part of my life. All those wonderful memories that we have had would always be saved in my book of memories. May God continue to bless you along the way. To all the teachers, may we remain influencing, teaching and inspiring our students, today tomorrow and even in the future. We were all  considered by our students as their Hero, and it is indeed considerable. Let us be a hero to them, by saving their future through our skills and knowledge.
