I do belong in a family of teacher. And I told to myself I will never be a teacher, since most members of my family are alreasy teacher, I should be different from them. I took up Engineering and finish my course, I've tried to work in an industry. but in the end I became a teacher. I did not took up teacher education but I am now in my seven years of teaching in college. I consider it by accident for I never intend to be one, for it is not an easy thing/task. Teacher builds future of an individual, and they got a lot of responsibilities that I never thought I could have my share. I became a teacher by accident though it is quite fulfilling. And I never regret the decision I've done when I choose to be like my family. How about you? Have you known someone who are teachers by accident. Or have you heard stories about the noblest thing a teacher has ever done. Share your thoughts. Happy mylotting.

One of my aunt became teacher too by accident. She graduated as Computer engineer and magna cumlaude in one of the prestigious University here in the Philippines but she got married and got pregnant after graduation. She works in a computer company for few years but the President of the company put up a Computer School and asked my aun if she can able teach as a part time in the school. After few months as part time school teacher she love it and now is still teaching and resigned from her previous job to concentrate in her teaching job.
