WHY A CHOOSE TO BE A TEACHER

At first, I doubted if teaching was really for me because, in the first semester of my first year, I had a lot of struggles because, as a working student, I couldn't balance my time between studying and working at the same time. When I was a first-year college student, I experienced the most difficult part of being in college. I got to the point where I couldn't do my activities properly, and I couldn't review my exam because I couldn't balance my self. Until I found out that I failed one of my major subjects. At first, I was very hurt by what happened. I didn't think that I would be able to pass one of my major subjects. I thought my dreams of becoming a teacher were over, but I talked to God again and asked for a sign to let me continue, and the Lord did not disappoint and allowed me to pursue my dreams. To make a long story short, I passed my second year of college, but when I was in my third year, I doubted my ability to teach because I couldn't see myself as a teacher. The situation was even more difficult because it was a pandemic, and I was having trouble keeping up with the online class. I always ask myself how I can teach mathematics properly. I was discouraged back then from continuing with the education course. It was the second semester of my third year at Cavite State University when I found out again that I did not pass one of my major subjects calculus 2. I also found out that I can no longer continue in school because that is not allowed. It is very painful for me. I couldn't do anything but accept it and tell my family. Until I decided to work because I didn't want to think about what happened to me in my college life. I was busy working, and I didn't think about studying again. Until my father asked me if I would continue to study, without thinking twice, I said, "Yes, I will study again." One of my friends is studying at the Philippine Christian University. She asked if I wanted to continue my studies again. 

Before I entered i approached Lord again to get a sign so that I could continue taking the Bachelor of Secondary Education and he immediately gave it to me. I have been given so many trials to let go of my dreams, but I don't let go because I know that this is where I am destined, and I will not let go of my dreams just because of life's trials.
