My Heart Sings

I am a Professional Teacher…



In my five years of teaching in the academe, I believe I have made myself into someone who works with much professionalism, commitment and contentment.

In here, I have included my personal beliefs on how I have consistently become on top and most of all, have been loved by my students. These are the words to which I live by…

Personally, I …

Pray and discern before making decisions – no matter how little or big it is.
Regard and value humility, sincerity and faith.
Appreciate beauty and excellence.
Enjoy serendipity and take chances.
Express sincere gratitude and warm appreciation.
Encourage oneself and learn to motivate others as well.
Share good and inspiring stories.
Give smiles and share laughter.
Inspire and be inspired.
Touch a life.

Professionally, I …

Cherish the nobility of this profession.
Develop a personal trademark.
Strive to make a difference.
Leave an impact to somebody’s life.
Stay positive, humble and smart.
Stand firm for what you believe is religiously right.
Remain fair, credible, reliable and considerate.
Always have a room for improvement.
Establish camaraderie.
Understand and communicate accordingly.
Aspire for continuous professional growth.
Teach by heart.

I may not be a teacher by degree but I am certainly a teacher by heart. Thus, no one can ever change that fact.

They may say that teaching is a very tiring and stressful job because of its demands and paper works.

I say… Yes, it is. But at the end of the day, I know I am blessed because it has been a very rewarding experience. I know I have somehow touched a life and have made a difference in my own little ways. With these, I humbly remain so inspired and fulfilled.

I am a teacher and I do thank God for it each day.

I am also those whose names may not be known or have been forgotten but whose lessons and character will always be remembered in the accomplishments of my students.

  1. I'd love to be a teacher but I guess fate won't permit me. Or should I say my attitude. I'm so impatient.

  4. To me, being a teacher requires a lot of qualities from within. I really salute anyone who enjoys teaching and chooses it as a lifelong career. Teachers are a special breed that's important to the human race because they help to mold our offsprings to develop the future.

  8. Teachers by heart like you are the best teachers. Being one by degree is good but missing the power of the heart and soul doesn't make one a good teacher. Fortunately you are a teacher by heart and you are doing a great and noble job!

  9. That was very beautiful. But I don't understand why you think you are a teacher when you don't have that degree nor a job in that profession. Is it because you are a parent? All parents are indeed teachers. We are our childrens' first teachers. If that is what you were trying to say then I understand.

  10. Myraine,

    Thanks for sharing.

  11. There is no more satisfying thought than the knowledge that you have touched a little life. I think teaching has so little to do with degrees but so much more to do with how we live our life and how we touch the lives of others. I never dreamed that I would write a book but when I sat down to write "On Being a Real Princess, Secrets of the Happy Heart Princess, a book on values and self esteem for young girls, the words just came. It feels like one of the more important things I have done in my life and if I can feel as though I touch one little life with my book, that is my reward. God bless you

  16. It is indeed a great job. I love to teach, I don't do it professionally but I work at a biomedical research lab and love to teach new things to new students. It is a great pleasure to read a blog written by an English Teacher, maybe we bloggers could learn some things about writing correctly. I have three blogs, two I write in Spanish, but one I write in English
    and sometimes I spend hours trying to doing it right.

    Great inspirational blog, I'll be telling my friends about it.
