In one of my job interviews, I was asked why I didn’t take up Education course when I wanted to be a teacher. The real reason is that, I was already in third year when I realized it, moreover, if ever I become a teacher, Psychology subject is what I wanted to teach, and that’s the answer I gave during the job interview. I wasn’t accepted, but it was the time I realized how much I wanted to become a teacher more than anything else.
Unlike other teachers who were inspired or encouraged by their former teachers, I became one because it was what I wanted to do. I’ve always had this need to explain, to inform, to research, and to show other people the easier way through things and I guess I’m good at it.
Since I joined this noblest of professions, I started to find ways to be better in what I do. I read books about teachers like Tuesdays With Morrie and Dibs, In Search of Self and I watched films like Dead Poets’ Society and Mona Lisa Smile.
Then, this Holy Week, I opened the Bible and read about the greatest teacher of all.. Jesus. I know I wouldn’t even come close to His greatness but I would always try with my whole heart to be the best teacher I could ever be.
He came to Jesus by night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher from God; for no one can do these miracles which you are doing, unless God is with him.
John 3:2
