So retirement becomes mandatory at 65 years old even if the teacher has not reached 15 year minimum requirement to avail of monthly pension. This is one painful fact that every teacher must take to heart if only to give justice to the years of service and avail of the fruits of your labor during your heyday years.
Sad to say however, this was not foremost in the minds of some Human Resource in-charge. Nobody usually thinks retirement will come one day. But then it does. So since the question goes: what is next after the teacher retires? To some it means a long time of travel and rest. To others, a time to make good the promise to have the organic vegetable garden! Still to others, it means, another entrepreneurial endeavor when the opportunity is given.
Thus, life remains ever challenging whether still in the work force or after retirement. It is your personhood that matters. Even being a teacher is not the most important qualification as your vivacity and versatility. So are you game teacher-retirees?
