I really have a high regard for teaching because most of the people dear to me are teachers and I have seen how they religiously stick to their duties.
However, I am more enlightened now than before. I have looked into teaching in a much deeper perspective. I have felt the struggles that teachers encounter and the hope that they keep holding on because of their conviction that they could help the world.
I have been introduced to varied teaching strategies and principles that I would hold dear in my heart as I change career paths. I am so touched I have known teachers’ real-life experiences that made them stronger in their fields. I have felt their sincerity and I want to be like them. I cannot help but be excited as I finish this course as it would mean I am almost near my goal-to be an Educator.
The principles and concepts I have been acquainted with during the entire course have added a boost to my confidence, for after all, knowledge sets aside insecurities. I am so full of new learning right now that I feel like I am drowning if I won’t be able to extract some fruits and share them with those worthy to have a taste of them.
These principles will surely be in my bucket list as I handle the things that will be coming my way when I start teaching. These principles are worthy to be put into action and be experienced by our learners.
After this course, I am intent to do more readings, and finsih the additional resources for I am too excited to read them as I have found all readings that were provided to be very useful.
My Professional Goals?
I will be taking the Board of Licensure Examination for Teachers (BLEPT) so I will have to read and review religiously. I am planning to teach as soon as I get my License. I want to be a great teacher. This , though, is hard to achieve, but with determination, resilience, harwork and faith I know this is a possiblity.
More than the principles I have learned here, I treasure the learnings that took place. I believe I can be a great Teacher. My merciful God will help me.
If I could change anything? For now, I guess I will have to start changing myself. I will be more focused on making myself better so when I will be given the chance to teach I can be a great one. I am longing to change many things with our system but then that cpuld take a back seat for now.
I would like to thank my Professor and the rest of UPOU who are part of this great learning. I really appreciate your efforts. God bless us all.
