Post-Test

Resolve the issue.

Is teaching more of a vocation or more of a profession?

For my own opinion, teaching is more than a noble profession. It is a vocation, a calling. Teaching is not
an easy job, yet we choose to be a teacher to educate the minds of the young ones.
Teaching is a noble job. We are not only teaching the child to learn but also we teach the good values
that they may apply on their entire lives. We are not just teachers, we are the second parent of our students.
Teaching is also a lifelong commitment of fulfilling one’s duties and responsibilities without expecting
something in return because we teach from our heart.
Nowadays, we know that it’s not easy to teach because of lots of paper works and disrespectful students,
yet we choose to stay because without teachers there is no other professionals that will serve our country.
Seeing our students serving the community in the future is the greatest achievement we are aiming.
