Teaching as a Vocation

Among the given dimensions of teaching,

vocation is the word which strongly appealed to
me. Came from the Latin word “vocare” which
means to call, the profession to be a teacher is
a calling. This means that teaching requires
passion and discernment because the
individual who would like to be a teacher is the
one responsible for the wisdom that is about to
be acquainted by the students. It is already in
our senses that when we hear the word
vocation, it automatically implies to Priesthood,
Marriage and single blessedness. This
entailment should not be taken wrong, it’s just
that we should not limit our interpretation of it,
because vocation can also be applied to
professions. Thus, teaching is a vocation, and
to teach, is to be called.
