Education is a not just a concept of beliefs, values and principles. It is a shared experience by
students within and outside the four walls of the classroom. It is what pushes everyone to thrive
and pursue what they are passionate about. Because education teaches us to realize what we
know of ourselves and beyond.
Education is timeless and universal. There are certain concepts that cannot be unchanged since
they have been proven long ago to be the truth since enough basis and investigation is done to be
proven thereof. More so, these concept seems to be unmoved as they have been effective in
instilling essential veracities and values to students.
Education is also essential, since one society cannot function if citizens remains uneducated.
Especially learning about one’s history and the frivolities that is part of it. It is to enable them to
reflect on the consequences of the actions of the past, so that numerous ways to avoid them from
happening can be curated and taken into action.
Education is individualism. It helps us recognize our potential as different and unique beings.
Hence, it is evident that knowledge is not the be all of the aforementioned, but also experiencing
what you have learned. It is important the we apply them in ways that is beneficial in the society.
It is not only knowing but making a change from what you have learned.
Education is collaborative. It should help foster cooperativeness among students. Furthermore, it

should help them embrace everyone’s dissimilarities. They should look at this differences in
ways that’ll symbolically unite all to be able to stare at one another without prejudice and
animosity.
Education is justice. It exposes the truth not only about concept of learning but also the
meaningful experiences we have had. It makes sense of the world we are living in. It provides
evidence, truthfulness and morality on the injustices done to the unfortunate, giving way to more
fair and upright judgement.
The Passionate Educator
The only profession I had known growing up, was being a teacher, since both of my
parents practices the profession, hence the desire for the noble pursuit. I was fortunate enough to
grow up in a family where both parents were teachers. My mother, taught elementary students at
San Miguel Elementary School, while my father, was a High School Teacher at Santiago
National High School.
From an early age, I was immersed in a world of knowledge and learning. Our home was
always filled with books, and dinner conversations often revolved around educational topics,
debates, and stories from their classrooms. I possessed an unappeasable thirst for knowledge and
a natural ability to communicate my ideas effectively. As I progressed through my own
education, I realized that my true calling lay in sharing my love for learning with others. Thus, I
chose to become a teacher just like my parents.
I believed that education was the key to unlocking the potential within every individual. I
saw myself as a guide, empowering my students to explore their curiosities, develop critical
thinking skills, and cultivate a lifelong love for learning. I embraced the principle of student-
centered learning, tailoring the lessons to accommodate diverse learning styles and abilities. I
believed in fostering an inclusive and supportive classroom environment, where every student
felt valued and encouraged to express their unique perspectives.
As a teacher, I demonstrated unwavering dedication and an empathetic approach. I
understood that each student had their own unique strengths and challenges, and I strived to
provide individualized support to help them overcome obstacles and reach their full potential.
My classroom was filled with warmth, positivity, and a genuine desire to see her students
succeed. I encouraged collaboration and open dialogue, recognizing that education was not
solely a one-way process, but a reciprocal exchange of ideas. My journey as a teacher had come
full circle. I had grown up in a household where education was valued, and now I was passing
that torch onto the next generation. Every day, as I stood in front of the classroom, I couldn't help
but feel a deep sense of fulfillment. Teaching was not just a profession to me, it was my calling
—a way to make a difference in the lives of others, just as my parents had done for me.
The Teacher as a Role Model
I believed that the path to shaping a better future lay in education. I observed the
tremendous influence teachers had on their students and recognized the profound responsibility
that came with the profession. I am motivated by strong sense of social justice, so I decided to
become a teacher.
I embraced the principle of education as a transformative force. I saw myself not only as
an educator but also as a mentor and role model. I aimed to instill to my students not just
academic knowledge, but also essential life skills and values. I also believed in the power of
education to foster empathy, compassion, and critical thinking, equipping students with the tools
they needed to navigate the complexities of the world.
As a teacher, I exemplified integrity, fairness, and professionalism. I held high

expectations for my students, challenging them to surpass their own limitations and strive for
excellence. I understood that education was not confined to the walls of the classroom; it
extended into the community and beyond. I encouraged my students to actively engage with the
world, advocating for social causes, and promoting positive change.
My commitment to the craft extended beyond the academic realm. I recognized the
importance of building strong relationships with my students and their families. I actively
communicated with parents, fostering a partnership that nurtured the holistic development of the
child. My classroom was a safe space, where students felt respected, valued, and inspired to
become responsible citizens of the world.
To sum it up, the basic principles and attitudes of a teacher encompasses passion for
education, student-centered learning, individualized support, inclusivity, mentorship, and
modeling positive values. Teachers should be the embodiment of these principles, dedicating
oneself to empowering students, fostering a love for learning, and shaping the future generation
with care, compassion, and unwavering commitment.
