Teachers are asking why they are embarked in the profession called teaching.  The reasons behind this impression should be answered very well.

Teaching is being a real professional.  If you are a teacher, you are practicing a certain profession.  Because of that, you are working for a certain goal. You are becoming a person that practices a particular vocation and that is a big asset on your part.

Teaching is service.  As a teacher, your primary objective is to serve and that can be possible through the process called education. Doing things for others is truly worthwhile and that gives meaning to your life.

Teaching is noble.  Teaching is the most revered profession. Though the income is only enough for your daily frugal needs but the spark of this job is really outstanding.

Teaching is influencing.  As a teacher you tend to influence the minds, hearts, actuations, values and principles of others in a positive way.  You become an admirable figure wherein people tend to imitate your remarkable deeds.

Teaching is enlightening.  Teachers are here to explain and give clarity to anything obscure and hopeless.  As a teacher, you are giving constructive explanations and clearing their minds to whatever situation.

Teaching is challenging.  Teachers accept the challenges brought by the profession… the duties and responsibilities.  Though sometimes there are difficulties hindering their ways but these are only challenges which make you stronger.

Teaching is productive.  As a teacher you are really being stimulated to productivity. Teachers are always being encouraged to do their best and be at their best.

These are the reasons why most people consider teaching as their chosen profession and these are certainly true and correct!
