My Philosophy Of Education Essay

When I was a high school student, I never dream of becoming a teacher because of the immeasurable responsibility that you have to carry on. However, I came to realize that being a teacher is a calling and that I must really respond by becoming an educator—and this is the reason why I enrolled at the “National Center for Teacher Education”, the Philippine Normal University. After pursuing my college degree, I came back to my hometown in Batangas. Fortunately, I was able to meet all the requirements in my application in De La Salle Lipa.
