Dear Fellow Advocates of Education,

Let us embark on a profound exploration of the teaching profession, a calling often hailed as one of nobility. It’s a path marked by passion and dedication, though it may not always reap the financial rewards of other occupations. This narrative unfurls the rich tapestry of a teacher’s life, delving into the arduous yet deeply rewarding experiences that define this noble pursuit.

Acting as Ninong to a former student with my former Bosses at LCC: Dr. Dirtas Joson, dr. Nenette Padilla and Dr. Joel Balidio. It warms my heart that even years after graduation, they still remember me and want me to be a godfather (Ninong) at their wedding. I can’t quite recall which number godchild this makes, but their thoughtfulness leaves me unable to say no.”

The Noble Calling: Teaching Beyond the Paycheck

Teaching, they say, is not a pursuit for financial gain. Yet, it beckons to many, drawing them into its embrace despite the economic challenges it may pose. Beyond the classroom, teachers carry home fragments of their tasks – essays to be reviewed, visual aids to be crafted, and lessons to be meticulously prepared. This is not a mere duty; it is a labor of love.
