saon!
i so wanted to write something on my blog for a long time now but i can't seem to know what i should write about... saon!
here i go, just typing whatever that goes out of my mind. i'm not even sure what the topic on this blog would turn out. well, we'll just find out at the end... so please read on...
i wanted to say..., no..., shout that i survived my first ten months of teaching! wohoo! thank you Lord! it officially ended last april 4 when we had the orientation for serving during next enrollment, when we were given our teaching load for next year and ahem! our salary for the whole month. that is why we need to go on a vacation (GUYS! YOU HEAR ME?! hehe..)
not to brag about it but it feels so good to receive a salary and by salary i meant compensation that which means (for me, at least) something given in return for the work you have rendered to an institution... would you agree? as what i've said, it feels good when you have the money but it feels much better when you receive it because you know for yourself that it is because of the effort you have exerted for a certain time.
let me share to you my feeings about my first year of teaching... it wasn't a bad year nor i could say it was the best year for me... i couldn't expect that because of course i'm just starting. i am happy because my colleagues were so kind enough to help me with the workings in the school. now, i have learned what and how my teachers work before aside from the teaching proper... there are still loads of things to do. can you imagine? we wonder before how we got these grades? now, i know.. in fact, i already know how to give and compute grades...
as the months passed (going through four grading periods), i have learned a lot in addition to what i have learned in college. while it is true that what we study in school is more on theory it is in actual teaching or any job for that matter that we apply or try to apply all that.
in my case, not only did the children learn from me (i hope..) but i also have learned from them... and i have learned more about them... see? it's a learning experience for everyone involved...
but hey, please don't think, teaching is all about work here and there... we also have bonding moments with the school personnel, you see. we have travelled to places as far as bantayan island and sibonga (it's not really like other schools that went out of cebu but still we travelled... ka afford pud ang school noh... hehe...)
another year for all of us: the admin, staff, teachers and pupils. for sure there is only one thing that lies in our minds that is to do the best we can in order to improve whatever that needs to be improved...
nidaghan akong mga anak karon because i would be handling N2 (4 year-olds) and K2 (6 year-olds) kids. two groups of different levels of personalities and capacities... i always pray that the children would progress as time goes which implies that i must be an effective teacher to them. that is the challenge. so help me God.
what's the blog all about then? saon! =)
in the meantime, summer na! lingaw2x and rest usa.. two months pa before classes start... again. enjoy the summer everyone!
