The majority of the people around me always critique my profession, because they believe that teachers are lazy, poor, and pathetic. They don’t believe that teaching is a wealthy profession. In the other hand, the same people that critique the teaching profession are begging for a change. And the only way of creating a change is through education. This is why I chose teaching; for a change. I believe that our country needs to make a change, and this is why I believe that social transformation is the key of success. Social transformation can only be achieved by a leader, and in order to create leaders they must be educated. This is where education and social transformation get together. My purpose of education is to train leaders that will follow their dreams and that eventually will cause a change. My future goal is to become a professional teacher that will train other to success. I also want to educate for the rest of my life. A real teacher sees his profession as a life style, and not as a partial work. I teach because it is my vocation.
