Apparently, teaching is the most-admired profession. Congruent to this is the fact that being a teacher brings happiness and satisfaction to the one who is in it.

          We couldn’t deny the reality that people regard teacher with much respect. Whenever someone finds out that a person is a teacher, he or she is revered and given much attention and importance. Isn’t it much rewarding that after sharing your knowledge and skills, you will achieve such elevation?

          Another thing that satisfies a teacher is that you are always remembered by your students or pupils. Whenever a former student see you, he cheerfully greets you because you were his teacher. During conversation with others, he mention your name and cites your exceptional traits. A pupil is even proud of you because you were his teacher and because of your good deeds bestowed on him.

          In every place where you go like in the church, at the store, in the market or elsewhere., you are welcomed and accommodated well because you are a teacher. It seems that being a teacher always carries the honor, dignity and pride that will yield a shining status on the bearer.

          Moreover, teachers are the ones having many circles of friends. Since a teacher is exposed to the learners, to the school and to the entire community, he can easily deal with all kinds of people from all walks of life. In addition, teachers have flexible personalities that can easily adjust to the people around them. Furthermore, because of their experiences in teaching the young generation, they already know how to converse with them and to treat them with love or affection and respect.

          Being a teacher is a great experience. It is priceless and no amount of money can compensate on it. Our society truly considers teaching as the best profession and vocation.
