Self Reflection

The document is a reflection from someone who wanted to be a nurse from high school but was unable to attend college due to financial constraints. They took a vocational course instead but were unable to find work. They had a child and later received a scholarship to study education at a local college, which they found challenging to balance with family responsibilities. They graduated, passed the teacher licensure exam, and got a teaching job. However, after two years, they still do not feel passionate about teaching and find it difficult without passion for the job. They realize the importance of choosing a career that matches one's interests and abilities.

REFLECTION

I aim to live a successful, happy life and help others save their lives. Ever since I was in
high school, I have always wanted to be a nurse. My main inspiration to become a
nurse comes from an inborn desire to care for people in times of need. I feel that
helping people overcome the burden of different health conditions, as well as supporting
their families through such difficult times, is satisfactory. Seeing an individual suffer
deeply affects me psychologically and also acts as a drive that will enable me to help
them alleviate part of their pain. I want to achieve several things, such as going to the
best university of my choice, graduating with a good degree, getting a good job that
relates to my dream career, and getting loved. But my family doesn’t have the capacity
in terms of finances to enroll me in the school and take the course that I really wanted.

When I graduated from high school, I stopped because my parents could not afford to
send me to college because of financial problems. One year after, I enrolled in a 2-year
vocational course, and luckily I graduated, but I was not able to find a job. After 2 years,
I got pregnant, married and gave birth. Time flies so fast and there is an opportunity
where I can be able to pursue my college if I can be able to get a "Tulong Dunong"
scholarship.

I applied and got the scholarship and enrolled in a Bachelor of Secondary Education
major in Social Studies at MonCast, where it is the only college institution in our
municipality. Taking education is very hard for me because I only took it because it’s the
only course offered by the institution where I enrolled. I faced lots of challenges in my
college days. One of them was multi-tasking. It is very hard to be a student and, at the
same time, a mother and a wife. I got a bachelor's degree and took and passed the
licensure examination for teachers last year. Passing the LET was not easy for me. I
made lots of sacrifices in order for me to survive and get the license. I obtained the item
and was hired at Pasian National High School. Being a teacher is not easy because you
need to make all the necessary adjustments in order to fit into the environment that you
have. Two years of being employed, honestly speaking, I still can’t find teaching a place
in my heart. I only teach young minds, impart my knowledge, and serve as a role model;
I only perform the duties and responsibilities of my job because I am compensated.

My realization is that having no passion for the job that you have makes it really hard for
you to do your duties and responsibilities with heart. When choosing your career path,
see to it that it really matches with your interests, personalities, and abilities in order for
you to take all the responsibilities with heart and not for the sake that you work because
you have paid. Lastly, mastering guidance and counseling would be very helpful in
searching for a place in my heart to impart my knowledge, way of teaching and molding
students to be a better version of themselves, not because of the salary that I get in
return, maybe not now, but step by step in the coming years of my teaching journey.
