EDUC 102 - THE TEACHING PROFESSION
“Live to teach” or “teach to live”? In fact here is nothing wrong with

what you choose between the two because eventually and most important of all
you should consider in choosing what you really want, in short, why you want
something? What are my reason of choosing this? Can this give me happiness?
So you chose things over everything.
In the field of education and teaching all decisions must be sure and be
mindful of the aftermath and learn for yourself to accept them wholeheartedly
and willingly because it’s your decisions after all. It is not a game to be
considered but it is a lifelong plan and decision. "Teach to live" I’m not biased
but, it is practical in today's time to say it. With the amount of opportunity that
comes out and continues to come out for people who want to have a good job,
life, security for themselves and for their family. But they are more likely to
forget what they want, so they choose this proposition for the main reason
"security" and the true desire of their heart is no longer followed because of the
personal reason that pushed them to choose it.
"Live to teach" if you think about, it is easy and simple but sometimes
had it occur to you to ask yourself once, of what your heart truly desire? You
have to know for yourself what your value is because that is the first thing to
be sure of what you are going through that is why you are making plans and
choices. Many of us miss this factor, so we get into awkward situations where
we get tired and lose interest in what we do because we don't like it and we’re
only pushing ourselves to do great that tend to be the factor where we usually
lose control and then quit without showing a fight in your own battle because
you yourself is just a push over of what you are doing and planning to do in
the future. Teaching is like being a mother and father it needs determination,
diligence, perseverance and most of all it is a long term responsibility.
For myself it is not wrong for me to choose to “teach to live” because

that is true, so I work hard and stayed up at night and in the morning just so I
can fulfill my responsibility in my studies for my future. I need a good job, a
well -paid job and being a teacher is one of the most practical and good ways to
achieve what I want for myself and for my family. I remember I used to say to
myself that "I don't like stubborn and hard-headed kids" so I don't want to be
one of those teachers who is always tired and stressed because of this type of
students and I am short tempered when it comes to this, but I don't know or I
haven't started yet ask myself what I want for my future? I then see myself
inside a four cornered room and teaching kids, so I just woke up one day that I
want to be a teacher. That's why I did everything I could to take the steps to
becoming a teacher, I chose the course I wanted and this is what I am now,
working hard to achieve it. I know it's rocky and bumpy ride for me because
that's how I feel at this very moment but, I know my suffering will also bear
fruit and my time will come to harvest them. I'll just say it now, it's crazy to say
it but maybe this is the path I deserve and I don't see myself taking anything
other than being a teacher that’s why during my enrollment I remember I woke
up early to go to school and stand for almost a day outside the room where my
future and calling awaits for me. I was formed and awakened into this world,
had a mind to think and above all a dream and for whatever reason I lived on
this world to be a teacher and teach so only now I can say and shout to the
whole world with all my might that I have been lived and if there is an
opportunity to live in the other world then teaching is my life and I’m choosing
this over and over again. "Live to teach" is my value and responsibility in the
world I must say.
