Life suffers from pain, but after pain comes immeasurable joy. Lesson is always the result of understanding how the three domains work for each other and how the experiential learning influences the learner. Beyond its relationship is Teaching.

It is painful to realize that teaching profession is taken for granted nowadays. Despite its noteworthy standing, this profession endures from different controversies. Some take this easy. Some don't mean how it works and molds young minds. Some forget how it contributes to the development of one's country. Some mend it as a low earning job. Money becomes the primary source of determining social class. With this, teaching profession amid its classical nobility is being humiliated by t-e demand of economic development and social stratification. Globalization is another contributing factor, which everyone works hard to get the title. This is the battle between material and spiritual world. As a result, they tend to fit into a working place where they can find an adequate salary more than the teachers can receive monthly. Its essence and reverence decreases. Excellence in education is now in danger. If this happens on, what society can the country produce? I presume; this still becomes a challenge as to how we encourage others to engage in this renowned career.

One cannot leave the idea that money in teaching profession is quite scanty. One must need to work day and night, working days, and even holidays. Attending to the demands of the family is a major task. Attending to classes for unlimited hours is a great responsibility among the members of the society and the rest of the world. Imagine how tedious the work of a teacher is. Self-delights are being disregarded. Devoting time to preparing lesson plans, recording papers, computation of grades, submission of various reports before and at the end of school year, school activities, meetings/conferences, attending training/seminars workshops and classes for professional growth, extracurricular activities, coping up with challenges in the classroom, campus, workplace, administrations, community, stakeholders, and linkages is beyond multi-facets of being a teacher. Whew!

However, I never mend these as an empel to bend my knees my knees as an exit to the crown of victory; instead I enjoy dealing with individual differences and level of intelligences and go beyond what is expected of me by being optimist how these challenges work and how they contribute and influence my character. Like what Stephen Covey says, I must maintain integrity, maturity, and abundance mentality as three character traits of professional teacher.

With this, I realized that teaching can be scientifically called as symbiosis (https://read.cash/@MisterWrite/an-unusual-relationshipsymbiosis-073bf989 .) It aims to sustain mutual relationship between the earner and the teacher. The teacher as learning facilitator directs how the subject matter will develop with progression and the student as receiver takes the delivery of knowledge associated with modes of understanding reaching takes place when teacher is able to identify and resolve the needs of the learner and the learner can determine, reflect, and perform resolutions according to the level of their intelligences and learning experiences.

As I write this, I arrive at understanding that money is just a temporary respite of happiness. This labels one as what and how we project ourselves within the boundary of our community.

Well, as a member of society, I believe that purpose of teaching is not for earning money alone, but can be of great help by digging out, valuing, developing, and recreating the wonder of folklore and contemporary knowledge towards a sustainable human development. This influences learners to become a catalyst in upholding the dignity of one's life. To change and touch one's life is priceless. Only the significant human experience can illustrate how good to be a teacher. It makes a teacher more than a wealth-to-do person ever.

Dr. Bercasio said: pain is inevitable. And l say.pain is predictable. Money will just follow once the teacher uses his creativity.
