Teaching is a very challenging profession. It is sometimes tiring, sometimes taking away our time. But, for those who have passionate about teaching it is not a big deal, it become a very fun profession because the value that they get is nothing compare to the sacrifation that they have done. It is also about the love, because teaching is a profession that giving a service to people, which requires love and compassion.	Ms. J: She is graduate from university with Psychology degree, she did not expect that she will end up become a teacher. She want to work as a Human Relations in a company but time by time she realize that it does not suit her, and contrast to what she like. The passion in teaching was coming when she volunteering on her campus on the “Day Care” which an event that giving a free teaching to the children, by the event she found that she loves to interacting with kids. In addition, she also help her lectures with their thesis that related to education and kid, eventually she realize that she love education and love the kids. Therefore, she choose to dive into education and become a teacher until now. Ms. S : Sharing is her foundation in becoming a teacher. Since she was a kid, she loves to play a teaching simulation game that brought her to her profession now. She also put sharing as her main point that she apply in her daily teaching. She said “When you can share something to others, you can be a very great person. She also said that she learn by becoming a teacher, because teaching is not a monoton profession, instead it is a dynamic profession since she will meet a lot of people with different characteristics it is means a lot to her.	Based on Ayers, teaching is respectable, meaningful, and relevant. Because teaching is seen as a profession that is honoured by many of people because seen as an inspiration. Ayers also said that teaching is a passion because they can change the world by becoming a teacher.	When both of them teaching, they seem very professional. I also amazed by the way they teach because they all full of compassionate, they are very patient and add a lot of good value in their students. The teacher never angry and always keep their emotion very good and always encourage the students to do well at their class. In teaching the teachers ask the students and discussing every single thing about the lesson before they start the class so they can follow the regulation and give a full attention to the class. It is actually a very good method that applied by the teachers

In respond to this, teaching is not a profession that is well-known by others. It is also not a profession that seen as good in society. People seem underestimate teachers's profession. It also about salary, it is not that much compare to doctor, accountant and any others. Some also find that teaching is exhausting they limiting activities and with all the difficult administrative things. Last but not least, it is not someone passion, which will not make somebody doing it with their heart when in teaching requires that.	Ms. J: The basic things why people do not want to be a teacher is because they cannot guarantee your future life. What it means by that, you are badly paid and it is not worth the process. Teachers also get underestimated by society, not only their existence but also their rights, people seem hard to appreciate their scarification as if their hard work is forgotten. That is why people do not want to teach. Ms. S : Teaching is an exhausting profession because teachers are not simply delivering material but they have to prepare everything to be good because if they delivering something bad the students will always be bad and always remember that until they grew up. Another reason is that it is all about mindset, because when people studying at school they used to see how hard the teacher to handle the students, how hard the administrative process that they have to finish, and so on and so forth. Eventually, it is hard for them to interpret the teaching activity in a good way.	Ayers said that the teaching profession is badly paid, they even earn half of the other occupations. Teachers also suffer a low-status in communities, there is a lot of reasons behind that and makes a teacher seen as not a really good profession for someone to be. In addition, teaching also requires good skills and someone is forced to work under-pressure since there is a lot of things that they need to handle, the students, the classroom, the material and et cetera.	As I see that, the teachers rarely show to the students that they are tired but they keep perform better in front of the students. But, when I sharing with them they said they sometimes so tired, they sometimes want to give up because there is a lot of things that they need to organize. They also sometimes struggling and feel like they want to give up but back again it is all their responsibility and they are remembering the reasons why they want to be a teacher in the first place. The kids are also their main reasons to keep their spirits back. Their smiles, their silly act, their power, and everything. It is all means a lot to them
