REFLECTION PAPER
Teacher as a Profession
A profession is an admirable thing that we can have because it is a type of work that you
can not have just by the blink of your eyes. To have a profession you need to work hard and
undergo different training to have a skill and high level of education. And for me one type of
profession is being a teacher because teaching can not be done just by knowing some information
or knowledge. Though yes everyone can teach other people about a certain lesson but not anyone
can be a teacher. It is because to be a teacher you need to undergo years of studying, researching,
and training just to teach the students and to inspire them to be a better person. Also, to be a teacher
you need to graduate of course, a bachelor's degree and to pass the licensure examination for
teachers. Those things that need to be done by every student that wants to be a teacher can also be
the reason why a teacher is a profession. We can not hide the fact that a teacher is one of the reason
or the root of other profession such as engineer, architect, doctor and many more. A person cannot
be an engineer with a teacher and the same with any other profession. If an engineer or a doctor is
a profession of course the one who shape and guide them to have their profession which is a teacher
is a profession as well. Also, a teacher is a human too obviously, so a teacher also receive money
as their monthly salary for them to buy their basic needs and wants that was why a teacher is a
profession. On the other hand, while thinking about the roles of a teacher, I think it goes beyond a
profession. It is because one of the reasons why a person chose to be a teacher is not because of
the salary but because of the fulfillment and joy that they might have when they are sharing
knowledge with their students. A teacher not just teach their students because they can influence
them to be a better person of their selves to be a good citizen and human being of our country.
Those reason that I have state are the reason why I am one of the students who dream of becoming
a teacher someday and again that was why a teacher is a profession.
