Becoming a teacher has been a fulfilling journey rooted in my passion for education and a deep desire to share knowledge and inspire others. My journey into teaching was set in motion during my formative years, as I dedicated myself to diverse educational initiatives within a non-governmental institution. This early involvement revolved around assisting workers, communities, and professionals setting the stage for the transformative experiences that would shape my future. These experiences allowed me to facilitate lectures and seminars, where I found myself not only imparting knowledge but also learning from the participants and students, creating a mutual exchange of insights.
An important turning point came when a university professor and fellow real estate broker invited me to teach a real estate management course at the University of San Carlos (USC). Intrigued by the idea of reaching a new audience, I embraced the opportunity wholeheartedly. Teaching became an avenue to fulfill my passion for sharing knowledge, this time with university students. I saw it as a chance to make a difference in their lives, to mold them into the next generation of industry practitioners. Believing that learning is an ongoing process, I recognized that being a teacher required continuous exploration of the subjects I taught. Learning doesn’t cease with the attainment of an education degree; it’s a lifelong commitment that I embrace with enthusiasm, driven by my love for reading and sharing knowledge.
Today, as I reflect on my journey, I have been teaching at the university level for eight years. Witnessing the professional and academic achievements of my students has been heartwarming and gratifying. The impact of teaching goes beyond the classroom, evident in the genuine respect and warm greetings from my former students wherever I go. The rewards of teaching are tangible, even in moments of self-doubt. Despite challenges, the unwavering commitment to shaping the younger generation persists, fueled by the profound belief that education empowers individuals to excel and create positive change.
In the tapestry of my life’s experiences, teaching stands as a thread of purpose and impact. It’s a role that continues to inspire me, reminding me that the influence of a dedicated educator goes beyond lessons; it shapes lives and fosters a lifelong love for learning.
