Vocation or Profession

For me, teaching is both a profession and a vocation. It is a profession because I am trained and work with responsiblility. But it is also a vocation because i teach with love, care, and a desire to help students grow.
I became a teacher because I enjoy helping students learn and do well. I teach Geography to Year 10 and Year 11 at St Patrick, a Catholic school in Kiribati. I believe education is important for our future, and i want to be part of that.

Yes indeed. Education to me paves the way to success. We as teachers have the responsibility to nurture and guide the young minds that are eager to explore in the various fields that brings out the best in them. It may be a challenge, but it part of our journey to inspire and to make a change. One of the things I have learned, is that all students are unique in their own way. It is important that we know the ability of each child and find ways to cater for their needs. I am a Primary School teacher here at Magiagi Primary School in Samoa, and its been a great learning journey for me along the way.
