Many times in my life I have felt like giving up my vocation. Every time I get home dead tired from the whole day work, I always say to myself, "Enough, enough." But then again, I am always cautioned by the thought of not finding the right work for me. To my mind, "If I will quit teaching, what job will I apply for? What office work will I be good at?" These questions are like a song's refrain lingering in my mind only to be reminded again and again of a similar answer, "Yes, I can find one, but I am pretty sure, I won't ever excel in that field."
God is good because His design is amazing. He gave each one of us talents which we can use in our vocation which He had designed for each of us even before our birth.
So, why will I quit if it's God who anointed me with this noble mission of educating the youth, the mission of molding the youth into Christlike individuals to make this world a better place to live in? Why will I quit if I know I am fortunate to be among the blessed ones, chosen to shape the mind of the future - to radically influence the youth to collectively work for a better future where peace, love, justice and love for nature reign in the hearts of the many. Why will I quit if I'm following the footsteps of our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, a Great Teacher, who laid down His own life for His unconditional love for you and me.
So, if time comes again that such bad idea of quitting crosses my mind, I'll brush it off and say, "I'm a teacher and I'll die as a teacher."
