The Career I Pursue
In speaking of what kinds of job to take up upon graduation, most college students have already formed vivid but different pictures in their minds of ideals. Among these ideal jobs may be lawyer, or doctor, or engineer, or businessman, or any other professions that can ensure them fame and wealth. As for me, however, I still keep my first resolve to pursue teaching as my life-long career.
A few reasons have led me to choose this occupation over other moneymaking ones. In the first place, a teacher can enjoy more freedom and independence than many other professionals. Rather than learn my part beforehand by heart as an actor does, I am free to invent my act as my course goes along – making decisions, arranging lectures and putting ideas across to my audience, all at my own will—a privilege hardly available to man job-holders. In the second, a teacher is provided with ample chances of perfecting himself from all sides. In order to prepare my students well for their future world, I have to force myself to acquire newer knowledge, better self-cultivation and enrich experience in life, during which I am always the first to grow fuller of good stuff. And the most sacred to teaching, though, is that it brings new hope to a nation. With a key to human treasures in my hand, I feel greatly honored to transform many teenagers, from ignorance to intelligence, from stupidity to wisdom and from savageness to civilization.
For the reason above, I do not think there is any occupation in the world that is better than teaching. Now, I am determined to devote all my life to this bright and glorious cause and I am convinced, too, that teaching will be an enjoyable experience to me in my future life.
