“…Teachers experience fulfillment when they are effective in fostering students' learning and when they ''make a difference'' in students' lives (Parkay & Stanford, 1998, p. 25). A study by Willie, Copeland, and Williams in 1985 revealed that students, interesting work, opportunities for research and writing, and teaching are top-level items that teachers consider to be their sense of fulfillment and success through job satisfaction. Success, however, does not always mean helping students earn high grades.…”

This qualitative study probed into (a) the sense of fulfillment, (b) fears and anxieties, and (c) life trajectories of aged working professors recruited from one comprehensive university in the Philippines. Interestingly, findings of the study reveal that respondents were fulfilled and felt successful through the life outputs of their students; their self-worth was witnessed through continued employment and communication to students of ideas, work ethic, and values. Fears and anxieties were rarely felt because of religious commitments and prayers to God. Sense of delight was manifested through the satisfactory academic environment; the possession of supportive systems, including family, friends and community, and their plans of spending their remaining years with the family in leisure activities; and in joining religious organizations.
