A. How do I use my personal qualities to become a good teacher?
Teacher plays an important role in education of every student. There
are many opinions about what are the qualities of a good teacher.
Somebody think that it is knowledge of the subject, but there are
those who claim that charisma is more important.

In my view, personal qualities of the teacher is important than
education. To begin with, teacher must to know how to draw students'
attention, and charismatic teacher can do it. Also, good teacher
should be able to tell interesting. You know, it is difficult to
assimilate information, if the teacher says without enthusiasm, boring
monotone voice. No doubt that nowadays teacher is not only a conductor
of knowledge but a person who is responsible for the future of his or
her students. That is why teacher must be reliable and responsible
person. Finally, good teacher is that teacher, who is able to find an
individual approach to each student – it is very important try to find
abilities in every child. In contrast, there are those, who claim that
the best teacher is someone who is very knowledgeable about the
subject. They say that person with great education surely can be great
teacher. They can't be justified!

Like what I have said of personal qualities of the teacher, I must be
responsible and be like them. I must enhance more my personal
qualities and potential of being a good and effective teacher in the
future. I begin with myself to be a role model. Also, applying the
different theories, strategies and methods of teaching and learning
process, I will gain more knowledge to handle the learners'
differences to cater students' needs.

To sum up, I strongly believe that the goal of the teacher is to find
a common language with the students and instill them the love of good
knowledge. The mentioned personal qualities above is more important
for teacher than his/her knowledge especially that I will be teaching
elementary pupils, the foundation of learning.

B.How does the experienced teacher utilize his/her personal qualities
to make him/her a good teacher?

The teacher's foremost duty is intellectual—to impart knowledge,
training for management, decision-making, leadership qualities, wisdom
and understanding about practical life problems and respect for
individual diversity so the teacher must be knowledgable and hands-on
to the children's performances.

Teacher and students seem to be involved in everything that is
happening inside the classroom. Teacher must always be ready to
alternative whenever students fail to understand or perform a given
task. The teacher must be committed to students and their learning.
Build rapport with your pupils. Teacher must understand, care and
love her student to maintain harmonios atmosphere inside the
classroom. He/she must know the children's differences to adjust and
respond accordingly to their different personality.

Teacher must be creative, innovative and resourceful in which teacher
can provide alternatives in teaching instructions to be used
especially if there is no available material/s in the community that
the teacher will be using in her lesson.

Mentioned qualities above, are some qualities that a techer must be
acquire. In teaching the most important role is to impart knowledge
and to mold the pupils' totality as a good and productive individual
in the future. So teacher must enhance herself to cope up and updated
especially that teacher is handling different world of every children
around her.

MY QUALITIES AS A PERSON FOR THE FUTURE TEACHING PROFESSION

I, as a human person I possess different qualities— positive as well as
negative qualities in life. In relation with this program I have been
taken, I assessed myself if I am qualified in this teaching career. Do I
have qualities and potentials in this world of teaching? Do I really have a
passion in this career? Do I really love teaching and children?

As I go on in this teaching program, at first I think I can do these and
that… I am thinking that teaching is very simple task. But it's a big, big,
big NO… it is because everything in teaching and learning process requires
time, effort, heart and mind in order to have a good and successful
delivery of instruction as well as to have a good or excellent outcome. Go
back to the qualities I possess that is essential in teaching, I describe
myself as kind, patience, creative, calm, friendly, goal-oriented, honest,
sincere, helpful and optimistic; on the other hand, there are times that I
am strict, sensitive and lack of confident to myself and to my work. These
nature qualities of mine are my stepping stone towards teaching profession.
These can be nurture for the betterment of myself as a future educator. And
as I go on to higher level (and now I am 4th year BEEd student) I am not
just nurturing myself but I am acquiring new knowledge and experiences not
just to improve myself as a person but to mold me as a good educator in the
future. I am glad I've chosen this career. Being a contributor to each and
every young mind's dream and achievement gives an unexplainable feeling to
every teacher, which I am dreaming of to be one of those.

Teacher portrays a lot — to the mind of flint, the teacher must be iron,
and strikes sparks; to the empty pitcher, the teacher becomes a well; to
the fallow mind, a planter of seeds; to the cluttered mind, a gardener to
weed, shape and a space for growing; to the lens, teacher is light, and to
the mind of light, a lens; to the sleeper the teacher is a wake-up call of
birds at sunrise; to clay, the teacher is potter, a sculptor, and a trainer
in self-shaping; to the developed mind, the teacher is colleagu, listener,
a friend. To be a teacher is noblest. And I'm looking forward to be one of
them in the future.

My Mentor, Ma'am Glo— a Veritable, Strict yet a Very Loving and Caring
Teacher of Grade 4-Mapagmahal

A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite imagination and instill
A love of learning.
My Veritable, Strict yet a Very Loving and Caring Mentor

For me, she is the best teacher that retains a strong memory of what it she
like to be a learner has to know,
You will not just love the sound of her own voice, but the impact she can
have and how she used it well.
She prefer story-telling to telling, and showing to explaining.
She teaches students how to deliver constructive criticism and how to field
the good and the bad of it elegantly.
She teaches that goals are immensely important but not half as much as the
enlightenment you will get on your way there.
She teaches kids not just about the beauty of logic and numbers, but about
the beauty of words and art and music, the bounties you may harness if you
develop your intuition and a strong sense of when something feels right and
wrong.
She teaches how to win and lose with grace - and how to apologize fully.
She understands how to engage her students— in a strict yet sweet and heart-
warming manner.
She always pushes and encourages students to do their best while to learn
and perform given tasks.
She viewed every child not as an empty bottled to be filled but as a candle
to be lit.
Her teaching style is a wonderful trait that makes her unique, respectful
and loved by all.
I adore her very much and I learn much from her,
I inspired to be like her someday on how she teach, handle and love her
pupils.
I salute you Ma'am for being such a molder of those little minds and future
professionals.
You're a great artist in molding human mind and spirit!
I am glad that I meet a teacher like you…

Based on the information taken, answer the following questions:

1. Have you discovered your dominant Philosophy of Education? How do you
feel after knowing it? Is your philosophy or firm belief of education
reflected in what you are doing as a future teacher?

After I have checked my answers on the survey, I realized of what teacher
I am in the future. I am a progressivist teacher. Yes, it also reflected
on me because in my previous demonstration teaching I focused on how the
pupils will take my lesson in their real life. I allow them to work by
themselves on how they present the activity. Also I, am very much aware
on children's attitude in developing their good moral values as they grew
older.

2. In your observations, does an experienced teacher practice what they
believe in (philosophy of education) in actual teaching? If yes, describe
the instance/episode. If No, what could be the reason.

Yes, it is because teachers have their own techniques and strategies
especially when it comes to handling pupils' behavior and conditioning
pupils in the classroom setting so that they will absorb the lessons
well. As I observed teachers' philosopy in education depends upon his/her
students because in the primary grades teachers concern is only the
essential matter that the pupils should know that is why some teachers in
primary grades are essentialist. They first concern is how pupils read,
write and percieve little things/ideas into their mind and behaviour.
While the teacher in the higher grade like what I have interviewed in a
Grade VI class adviser that he is a progressivist teacher. Because in his
case he is facilitating learning to his pupils by their own. The
teacher's responsibility is to guide them and the pupils could be able to
explore and discover things in a creative and critical thinking in order
for them to have a meaningful learning.

1. Would you consider teaching as a full time job? Why? Why not?

Yes I consider teaching a full time job. First, because teachers
especially here in provinces acquire eight hours at school. Second,
because teachers are occupied by school works at home especially in
planning their lessons for everyday teaching. Third, teachers are
not only occupied by the school works but also with the activities
in our community. So to sum up, being a teacher is a multitasking
also a "multiple profession" you have. It not just a profession or
work that at the end of the day you comply with all the
requirements and have your salary. Instead being a teacher is a
call, you must be committed and devoted in this profession. You
will not appreciate teaching if you are just looking for a wage so
as you cannot produce a committed and devoted citizen in the
future.

2. Are the conditions in the classroom conducive to the welfare of
both the learners and teacher? How will you improve on it?

Yes, because the classroom structure is well defined wherein in
every corner learner will learn by the posted information, sayings
and any other learning materials. The classroom are well labeled in
order that the learners will be able to find easily a particular
things where it could be found.

3. After closely observing the teacher in the school setting, are you
motivated to continue on becoming a teacher? What in the teacher's
practices inspire you to become a professional teacher?

After closely observing the teacher in the school setting, I am
motivated to continue on becoming a teacher. Being a teacher is a
noblest despite the odds you will encounter along the way. I
inspire to become a teacher because teacher has a major role in the
growth and improvement of each and every pupils. In every dream and
success of your pupils you have a contribution to attain what they
want to be in the future. And it is a great feeling that because of
you people are experiencing a good life and a good future.

4. How can I improve the school setting that I have observed when I
become a teacher?
To improve the school setting that I have when I become a future
teacher I must be also observe the following;

a. Classroom arrangement: well ventilated and well organized; the
tables, desks, board, feeding paraphernalia and learning materials.

b. Bulletin Board Display: attractive, updated and informative

c. School playground: clean, safe and distant to the classrooms

Episode 4

THE TEACHER IN THE COMMUNITY SETTING

In the Philippines, the governmenthas built schools in almost all
Barangays, town or city. This was done to provide access and equal
oppurtunity for every school child for equality education. At present,
here are more than half a million public school teacher deployed in
all these schools throughout the country. The school and the teacher
have a very crucial responsibility in bringing about change and
development in the community on one hand and the community provides a
lot learning oppurtunities on the other hand.

Where else can one find resoyrces that are authentic and are in the
context of the school setting? The COMMUNITY. Who is one significant
community person who earns great resect of the community? THE TEACHER.

Identify community resources available for use by the teachers
in the school through a Rapid Appraisal Survey.
Observe how teachers utilize community resources in teaching.
Collect information on how the teacher is looked upon in the
community.

Here are some key points in this episode:
While the school is the official working place of a Teacher,
the community is the wider learning environment.
School are often perceived to be the transformative agent of
change, hence the teachers are the agent of change.
The teachers are looked upon as important agents of change.
Teachers' roles and functions do not stop within the four
walls of the school, but extend beyond the community.
The community provides the authentic resource for teaching and
learning.

Permission to conduct the community survey should be secured from your
teacher. The same permission shall be asked from the Barangay
Officials.

of the barangays in the poblacion area, bounded on the north by rice
fields, on the south, by Brgy. Sta. Maria, on the east, by Parish
Church, and on the west, by Camparil River. As the settlers expanded,
the street was extended northeastward, going to the Catholic Cemetery.
This is called Sto. Nino Street.

The inhabitants of this place used to be very active when it

highlights in celebrating the feast day of their Patron Saint, Senior

in by some talented young and middle aged constituents who were
originally trained by Spanish friars. In the month of May, they also
used to dance the "Dotoc" as a culmination to the search for "Holy
Cross" where Jesus Christ was crucified. Celebrations were usually
held in their chapel, erected at the end of the road where it stands
until now.

Today however, all these died down because of modernization.
Nevertheless, religious traditions obtaining in the parish that are
commemorated yearly are still upheld by this barangay.

" "but most teachers become members mainly because the "
" "unions offer comprehensive lega lrepresentation in "
" "case of litigation. "

If the NCBTS is the measure of a global teacher, can the teacher you
interviewed be able to meet the challenges of global education? Why?
Why not?
Yes because every child needs a teacher. They hold keys to the
sustainable development of every society. "Education goals cannot be
meet without teacher", the UNESCO said. Whatever maybe the
specialization of every teacher, local government priorities education
and retention in national education teacher, local governments
prioritize education and policies.
This is called paradigm shift needed in order to change the system
from the traditional ways, into the so called 21st century global
standard teacher.

Are there similarities or differences among teachers in other
countries in terms of the standard requirements for a professional
teacher? Explain your answer.

I think there are similarities among teacher in other countries in
terms of standard requirements for a professional teacher because the
recognition of qualifications of professional teachers from one ASEAN
country to another was being facilitated. Like the International
Standard Organization, it facilitates uniform standard qualification
not just in the school but also the teachers who have major role
inside the school.

Are Filipino teachers comparable to their fellow teachers in other
countries?

I think yes, because there are also some Filipino teachers that could
really compete throughout the world. And there are some cases where in
Filipino teachers in other countries emphasized because of their hard
work and devotion in teaching profession.

How would you prepare to become a global teacher of the 21st century?
How do you see yourself?

Taking up this program and exposure in the field study are my great
armor in this profession I'm choosing. Although there are times I
find it hard in teaching, I consider myself become a global teacher.
In real teaching I know that it's a matter of adjustment and must be
devoted in this profession. In 3 years exposure in field study I
learned a lot yet I know that it's enough to say that I'm a well-
equipped future teacher but I'm doing my best to be one. Everything
is in the process so I believed that in the future I will become a
competitive and global teacher.

Story of a Filipino Teacher Abroad

Teaching English to US Kids: A Pinay's Success Story

I
By Julita L. Lizardo
Updated Tuesday November 08, 2011 - 2:46pm
t was in November 2004 when the agency contacted me and said that I was one
of the teacher applicants who was scheduled to be interviewed by the human
resources representatives from the Baltimore City Public Schools. They told
me the time of the interview and that it was going to be held at the Manila
Peninsula Hotel in Makati City. I had mixed emotions when I learned about
this great news. I was ecstatic because I knew that I was getting close to
achieving my "American Dream." At the same time, I was also nervous because
I knew that it was going to be a tough competition among the teacher
applicants.
Preparing for Charm City
So, I started planning and preparing for that interview. I began thinking
about the professional attire that I was going to wear. I also started
reviewing my notes and books on special education and did my research about
the Baltimore City Public Schools and Baltimore City in general. After my
research, I learned about the special education programs they had that
time, curriculum, population, products, famous places and its wonderful
people. As a matter of fact, the city earned its name as the "Charm City"
in the United States because of its beautiful people. In addition, I have
also learned that one of my favorite authors, Edgar Allan Poe was from
Baltimore City. You can just imagine how excited I was after learning all
of these facts even before my interview.
When the day of my interview came, I went to the hotel equipped and ready
to be grilled with questions. There, I saw a lot of teachers waiting
outside the room. Just like me, I can see in their faces excitement and
nervousness. I was able to witness different behaviors while waiting for my
turn. Some were reading and reviewing some notes and books. Others were
just chilling and waiting for their turn to be over, while the rest were
having conversations with each other. Based on the conversations, I learned
that everyone had only one goal! That was to pass the interview because
that was our ticket to have the taste of the "American Dream."

The interview that would spell the future
During my interview, I was surprised that the interviewer was kind and was
making me feel comfortable. During the interview, I have learned that they
were hiring Filipino teachers because there were not enough highly
qualified teachers in Baltimore City Schools to teach math, science, and
special education during that time. The No Child Left behind Policy has
been requiring school systems to hire highly qualified teachers, which
means teachers who are certified or have the potentials to be certified in
the said areas. As a result, they ended up hiring teachers overseas which
included the Philippines. They included the Philippines because of our
educational system being patterned from theirs and with English being our
medium of instruction. In addition, speaking and hearing someone speaking
the English language is an everyday occurrence in the Philippines when
doing business transactions and in academic institutions. Even the street
vendors who some of them may not be able to express themselves in English
fluently are also able to understand the language. Isn't it amazing? This
is an asset that I think our country has.

I was interviewed for at least 30 minutes and I was able to pass the
interview with flying colors. The district's representative told me that I
was already hired even if she was not supposed to disclose the result yet
until all of the more than 200 applicants have already been interviewed. It
was such an unforgettable day! When I got out of the room, it felt like I
was in heaven! I kept jumping up and down while the rest of the applicants
were looking at me crazily and maybe enviously. Others also asked me about
the questions that were asked and a lot more things.

After this memorable day, most of my days were spent submitting and
processing all my documents. I thought passing the interview was the ticket
to the US, but no! It was just the beginning of a very tedious and
agonizing process. It was in May 2005 when I was scheduled for an interview
before the US embassy. I would not forget that day, when my visa was
granted. It was a dream-come-true. All of my sleepless nights, effort,
perseverance and patience were paid off. I immediately thought about the
financial gains that it was going to bring me and my family. My family and
I started building castles in the air, like with my whole family migrating
to the US, experiencing the snow, etc. I was also after the wonderful
experience of being able to teach English to a country whose mother tongue
is English.

Goodbye Philippines
The remainder of my days after getting the visa was dreadful. I needed to
resign from my school where I was an English teacher for eight years. I
needed to face my students, colleagues and administrators confidently to
let them know that I was fine but in reality, I was not! Besides saying
goodbye to my institution, I also came to the realization that I was
leaving my two children and husband in less than a month. My daughter was
just in third grade during that time while my son was just in first grade.
That thought started to pierce my heart. I would cry every night just
thinking about it! It was too painful to think about that I felt like I was
going to die. But then again, the dream of me giving my children a brighter
future defeated my loneliness. That time, as a parent, it was more
important than for me to cater the loneliness that was ahead of me.

When the day of my departure came, reality started to sink in! This was the
reality of being away from my children and my husband. At the airport, I
could see on the faces of my innocent children how lonely they were that
their beloved "Mama" was going to leave them. I could see how they wished
they could stop me from leaving! It was the loneliest moment in my life.
Even lonelier and more painful than the feeling that I had when my father
died. It was like a nightmare. I wish it was! That way, I could have just
waken up and found out that it was nothing but a dream… but it was reality!
My family was sitting in the bench outside the airport as they bade
goodbye. I needed to show them that I was brave but the truth was, my heart
was bleeding inside.

Adjusting to the American culture
I, together with 50 other teachers, came to Baltimore City, Maryland in
June 2005. We shared the same experiences and heartaches. We had difficulty
adjusting to a new country, city, and most of all, living with three other
Filipino teachers in a two-bedroom apartment. But we started to like it. We
realized that besides God, we only had each other because we did not have
any family members who would be able to assist us in times of need. We
would take the bus, metro and the subway whenever we needed to go to
shopping centers. We would also gather in each other's apartment every
Friday night for Bible studies.
My first year was a challenging one. I realized that teaching the native
speakers of the English language is still different from teaching English
to second language speakers of the language. They used a lot of idioms
which some of them, I was not even familiar with despite me being an
English teacher. My accent and pronunciation of some words were also
different despite me teaching speech and oral communication to college
students. My students would correct me and ask me to repeat what I was
saying. I did not get slighted by it, but rather, took it as a challenge.
I had students who had behavioral problems but my being strict with my
students in the Philippines and my knowledge about special education helped
me a lot during my first year. They came very handy. I did not have serious
problems with classroom management compared to my other colleagues. Some
of them were disrespectful but it was not because of my accent and being a
Filipino. One thing that these children are very much oriented with is that
they could not discriminate people because of their speech, nationality and
especially, the color of one's skin. They know that it is racism.

It was an adjustment to the culture as well. There were some things that I
would miss that our students do in the Philippines that our students here
do not do. Back home, our students and parents regard us as their second
parents. They put such high regard to teachers. Filipino students stand to
greet their teachers and whenever they respond to our questions. It took me
about a month to adjust in this regard. Then, I realized that both I and my
students were actually adjusting to each other's ways and cultures. I also
realized that children are children wherever you go all over the world.
They will always need affection, love, care, and most of all, will always
be hungry for knowledge.

"Bayanihan spirit" lives on
I started to build and develop a rapport with my students, parents and
colleagues. Then, my students started inquiring about the Philippines and
its people. They wanted to know all the things about my country. They were
so curious about our country because they were not even familiar that our
country exists until I came to the school. One thing that amazed them was
when I told them that when the American children are in school, the
Filipino children are sleeping. They did not have any idea that it was
happening on the other side of the world! My administrators and parents
liked me as well. Parents were happy that their children were being taught
by a highly qualified teacher. They also liked me because they saw my
passion and dedication to the teaching profession.

I had colleagues who were already deciding to go back home during our first
year. However, with continued support and faith in God, we were able to
survive our first tough year. One thing that I can say about us Filipino
teachers is that, we're resilient and as pliant as the bamboos. Trials
seemed to make us fall down but we just dusted ourselves off instead and
continued to stand from where we left off.

In retrospect, it was a very challenging yet rewarding first year. Besides
our administrators, parents, and students, we are also thankful of the
Filipino communities who supported us all the way. We truly have witnessed
the authentic "bayanihan" spirit from our friends in the River of Life
International Christian Fellowship. They were the ones who were there to
provide not only our tangible needs but most of all, our spiritual needs.
They demonstrated the real essence of a Christian spirit- that is helping
brothers and sisters without any expectations of being paid back. Our first
year was successful because of their support.

Looking back
This is now my sixth year in my school and in my district. I have now been
a part of our leadership team and executive board. I, together with my
principal and other selected colleagues, meet weekly to discuss school
policies and programs that will make my school a well-run school. My
principal has given me multiple awards because of my contributions in my
school's achievement of the Adequate Yearly Progress for three consecutive
years. I also have dismissed a lot of special education students because
they have already been performing on grade level after giving then
intensive reading instruction. I am glad and blessed that they recognize my
contribution to my school.

I have a lot of things to thank God for. My family has been here with me
for three years now. My daughter is now in ninth grade and my son is now in
seventh grade. Both of them are consistent honor students. Besides enjoying
some financial gains that coming to America had brought me and my family, I
am so thankful that I was able to know the real God. My God who continues
to love me unconditionally despite of my inequities? My God who promises in
Jeremiah 29:11 that, "For I know the plans that I have for you, plans to
prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future!"

If you ask me if I feel bad about leaving the Filipino students behind
despite them being in need of good teachers like us, my answer is
sometimes. On the other hand, I also believe that we do not have to be in
our country to make our country proud. Every day, I always instill in my
mind that I am not just carrying myself but I'm also a "flag carrier" of my
beloved country. Every day, I make my country proud by making sure that I
am giving my best to my American students. That way, they will remember my
country because of this Filipino teacher who touched their lives and whose
name has been engraved in their hearts. I serve my students because I do
believe that God brought me to this country for a reason, and that is to be
like a parent to these children who are hungry and longing for a parent's
love that some parents could not provide.

"Mabuhay tayong mga Pinoy!"
It has been a very successful six years because of my faith in God. Without
Him, I am nothing. I would have gone home and accepted my defeat. I offer
all of my success to Him. I hope that my story will inspire other Filipino
teachers overseas. I know that it is tough to be away from our families
but there is always light at the end of the tunnel. That light is God! The
more we experience struggles or challenges the more that we should cling to
God because He is our rock and provider. May God continue to bless us and
our families with good health, perseverance, wisdom and determination? May
He also continue to bless our country and our adoptive countries as well?
When you feel lonely being away from your family, just read Romans 5:5,
Matthew 6:25-34, and Jeremiah 29:11. I hope that this article inspires all
of the Filipinos worldwide! Mabuhay tayong mga Pinoy!!!

For young professonal teachers:
The tue aim of everyone who aspires to be a teacher not to impart
is own opinion, but to kindle minds (FW Robertson).

Based on the answers given by the teachers you interviewed, do they
reflect a true professional teacher?

Definitely yes, because all of them passed the requirements of
being a professional teachers. In addition, they have acquire both
personal and professional qualities that manifest an good teacher.

2. Why do you think so?
So far, I have no doubt of them of being a professional teachers
because upon interviewing I observed and recognized them as a true
professional teacher. They all have the goal as a professional
teacher where in they really assure that every learners really
learn from them.

3. Based on the interviews you conducted, is being a professional
teacher a fulfilling job? Why?
Yes, because teaching is not only the thing a teache can manifest
inside/outside the school. Teachers also serve as a second mother
of every students. She was capable of doing all things for the
goodness and betterment of his/her pupils. She is concern with all
the consequences that may arises inside/outside the school.

4. Considering that you will be a future professional teacher, what
standards of behavior should you uphold based on the Code of Ethics
for Professional Teachers?
As a future teacher I shall encourage myself that to become a
professional teacher I must knowledgeable enough of those Code of
Ethics for Professional teachers. Considering that I am a future
professinal teacher, I will sustain and put up with the rights of
every learners. That they must be feel that they really taking good
care by his/her teachers. Most importantly, I must avvoided those
any violent actions that my students may involve. Finally, I must
be a role model of my pupils. Teaching doesn't impart knowledge
also the character that a child should possess.

My Overall Reflection

As a future educator, I must pass the Licensure Examination for Teachers so
that I can say that I fullfilled my study in college and I can say that I
am professional teacher so that I am authorized to teach and share my
knowledge to my future pupils.

I shall bear in in mind the different fundamentalrequirements to be a
professional teacher. One has to graduate in college with a Baccalaurette
degree, pass the LET, be a member of professional teacher organization and
abide bt the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers.

I shall acquire those 21st century skills for teachers to make the client
satisfy of what they should throughout their lives.

I must be aware of what community I belong when I am already a teacher. I
shall challenge myself to accept them as a family too, because this
commuinty has a counterpart in the progress of the school and other
environment. I must build a harmonious rapport with the community and other
people around to promote oneness as a family.

To be a teacher is not just a profession, it is a call. I shall be devoted
in my every action. Being a teacher is a role model in a community so I
must be careful with my mind and actions.

I must also prepare yself to be globally competitive because I am one of
