The term professional is one of the
most exalted in the English language,
denoting as it does, long and arduous
years of preparation, a striving for
excellence, a dedication to the public
interest and commitment to moral
and ethical values
- Hermogenes Pobre

a long and arduous years of
preparation?

position. It can not guarantee financial
security. It even means investing your

the heart of people and opening the
minds of children can give you joy and
contentment that money could not buy.
These are the moments I teach for.
These are the moments I live for.
