Reach
for the stars, is a saying that conveys to keep chasing your dream, and I
intend to do just that. Nobody can dictate what you want in life especially
when it comes to your dream. Each of us has different dreams that we want to
reach, and it can be achieved by hard work. Nothing is free in this world we
live in, we make necessary sacrifices to get to our dream, but of course we
should still be careful of how we get to that dream of ours. We should still be
walking on the right path that God is guiding us, not through the easy way that
we could walk on other people and hurting them in the process.
My dream as a teacher, maybe a
little selfish, but you can’t judge my dreams right? Anyways, I want my
students to idolize me, not through some fancy talk, or awesome talents, but in
a way that they would be inspired in life, as another saying goes, aspire to
inspire before you expire. I’m not saying they should become like me, a teacher,
but I want them to become hard workers that would achieve greater heights in
life. I envision my students to be successful, what teacher who does not want
that for their students? Well my dream doesn’t stop there.
Although out of context of being a
teacher, I always wanted to finish my studies in BS-Marine Transportation,
apart from teaching I always wanted to travel around the world. I want to see
the actual Eiffel tower, Big Ben, Lady Liberty, cross the Panama Canal, set
foot in Japan and try to eat Ramen that Naruto always eat in the anime. In
other words, I want to explore the world and the things it has to offer, and
being an able bodied seafarer, I can travel the world, have a decent pay check,
support my family, and an unforgettable experience. It’s a win to win
situation, like hitting two birds with one stone or in this case a hitting a
flock of birds with one stone?
Since being a teacher, and a
seafarer are very different things, you might be asking yourself, why these two
professions? I could have just studied and finished BS-Marine Transportation
and live life without worries unlike teachers making lesson plans, grades and
other things that teachers need to do. Well to tell you frankly, I don’t care
about those things, well maybe a little, but remember what I mentioned earlier?
I want my students to idolize me. To tell you the truth, I was a collage
failure. I had been enrolled to 2
colleges and 1 University and failed my courses there, and now, I want to make
something of my life. I want others to be inspired by my life story, and what
better way than to be a teacher. Teaching the young souls gives me purpose, I
don’t know but I think I’m in love with teaching, based from experience. It’s
like the students gave me a satisfying feeling that they listened to my stories
and they would be amazed from it. It was like God was telling me that “Hey, you
could become a teacher, you’re good at this”.
To think that I want to inspire
other people, through teaching, you’d think I’d forget about my family? My
family is the top of my list of protecting, helping, and most of all to love. I’m
not thinking about making my own family any time soon. I still have pending
dreams and make them come true. In my family, I love my two little brothers, no
matter how old they are now or in the future they will still be my little
brothers, and my dream for them as a teacher is to see them walk away from my
custody with a college diploma in their hands and are geared up of what life is
going to give them. As for my parents, I just want them to trust me on how to
live my life, and when they grow old, it would be my turn to take care of them.
In the future, I want my parents to pass away without regrets, and us, as their
sons, I think it is our responsibility to make that happen, the “without
regrets” part not the pass away part. All these things that you have just read
are the list of my dreams as a teacher, but I think my dreams doesn’t end here,
the list might become longer as I continue on with my life, well I guess keep
dreaming and keep striving.
