TEACHER: A MOTHER, FRIEND, GUIDANCE COUNSELOR?

CHERRY LOURDES G. DE LEON

JESUS, a true Rabi, Teacher and Master!

As a young teacher, I didn’t imagine myself to stay longer in this profession. As time passes, I was awaken of the fact that God place me in this profession to use my talent and my voice develop responsible, God-fearing and lovable students in the future.

Teaching is really a noble profession that requires patience greater than the mountain, putting your whole heart and soul in it, and your precious time to teach students the way they should be after graduation. It really takes dedication, courage and a gentle to be a teacher.

Not all teachers are mother, friend and guidance counselor. It takes a strong person, God fearing, caring and dedicated one to be called “TEACHER “, why? As Jesus himself, a rabi( teacher) we should follow his teachings, putting our heart not only setting our minds but our soul to become the great teacher you can ever be to your students.

A teacher whose eyes are open to appreciate, whose ears are open to listen, a heart ready to console in times of grief and a open arms to embrace and show affection in a motherly approach.

I love teaching, I love being a teacher! Thank God I am a Teacher!
