It's all about ME!
I have been accused several times for being so pretentious in almost evrything I do.
I have a handful of nicknames and tons of friends.
I am a frustrated writer.
I bleed green but I am not related to Shrek.
I love cakes and chocolates although its calorific.
I love hanging out with friends.
It's my way on how to make myself busy.
I have weird preferences...
People watching is my hobby cause it develops my skill in observation.
Love is never my priority. cause it makes me sick.
I celebrate the gift of Single-blessedness.
but your always welcome to change that.
I don't need your attitude, I have my own.
I do very bad things, and I do them very well.
I am who I am, your opinion isn't needed.
I am not saying I am perfect.
In fact, I'm far from it;
I'm just saying I'm worth it
I am TOTALLY me!

Catch-22 of a 4th year student
In a span of six months I am about to receive the ticket to my success. I will be a fully pledged teacher. Alas! I say, after four years of suffering and a total of 15 years in school inclusive of my pre-school. The good thing about elementary and high school is that you are not pressured to choose the path to take cause everything (ie. subjects) are generic. In college it doesn't defend on sheer fate. Honestly, I engaged in this course because of the assumption of an easy way to grab a diploma. Moreover, the University where I am in, adds the incentive of not only quality education but free education as well. On contrary, there were several moments in my life where I imagine myself teaching in front of many students. However, I still don't have the effrontery to truly engage in this vocation.
I say it's tedious and at times, compensated with the idea of nobleness. Which explains why I'm in the verge of confusion regarding the true essence of becoming a teacher. The frequent questions I ask myself:
After graduation;
- Will I apply for a teaching post or work in a company for practical reasons?
- Will I pass the licensure exam or decide of not taking it at all?
The kind of teacher I will be;
- Will I be a teacher with the potential to inculcate the minds of my students with correct concepts? (Cognitive)
- Will I be a teacher who is experienced-based and will lead my students to realize the concept of World Peace? (Affective)
- Will I be a teacher who will mobilize my students to become pro-active and work for the betterment of the society? (Psychomotor)
- Will I be a teacher who will espouse all the actions mentioned above? (Holistic)
This is a vicious cycle which circumnavigates my pathetic mind. I say, whatever I'll become is the direct result of my choice and values.

"An ideal teacher is a teacher who faithfully practice the vocation and doesn't limit the service to the confines of the four-wall corners of the classroom rather extending the inherent and genuine passion to serve and teach the people who need him the most."
I quoted it from myself. If you ask me why? It's just that I can't believe that I uttered that statement.
