Teachers are really needed in our society. They are important in our society because they are the only one authorized to give education to every child. Being educated is important in this world of chaos. It give you knowledge of some things that are hard to understand. It makes you understand the different process around you, the secret behind all that is happening in your surroundings. Why the sky is blue, what is the real shape of the earth, etceters, etcetera.

Just imagine the world without teachers. Maybe the people would end up hurting each other because of misunderstandings. Maybe everyone's life would be confusing and chaotic because of so many questions entering their minds without sure answers.

Though teachers are widely needed all over the globe. I noticed that as time goes by, students entering college do not want to take up the education course. Do you know why? It is because being a teacher is tiresome and stressful. Teachers also do not receive good salaries especially if they are teaching in a public school. I can say that teachers do not have good salaries because my auntie, who happened to be a teacher in our province, told me.

Honestly, when I was still a little child, I really wanted to become a teacher someday. But because of what my auntie told me, my interest to become one fade away. I decided to just take up the nursing cource because I want it to be a ticket for me to go abroad just like my father. And also, as we all know Philippine nurses are in demand in other countries. They are also being offered a good salary.

Every end of January, our school celebrates the know your school day. This program give students a chance to teach and a chance to share their knowledge to their fellow classmates and a chance for the teachers to rest. A chance that happens only once a year. I took the oppurtunity to be a teacher for once in my high school life in UP.

I immediately applied for a SOCSCI teacher. The application was just easy. You will just approach the teacher and "bang", finished. Many applied for the SOCSCI subject because maybe our teacher does not really come to class regularly. Our social teacher to just prepare a test for our fellow classmates. Honestly, I like giving test so I prepared as many questions as I can. In the end the test was successful and I think my classmates did really learned many things from the test we gave.

I really agree that being a teacher is stressful especially if you are handling a noisy section like my section were I became a teacher for one day.
