Fulfilled…
Recently i have been to the most challenging stage of my teaching career (career daw oh! hehehe)… Getting an Accreditation and Certification.
After a month-long of cleaning because of typhoon Ondoy, i found myself going back to Iloilo City for IC3 Certification. Arrived there on Sunday afternoon and immediately the following day, Monday, we are set to do our task… to pass the 3 module to be Certified. The whole week is filled of Tests and Reviews. Pre-test, Review, Post-test and the Certiport test. After the week long test, I was certified, IC3 certified…. I have earned an international certificate that i can use anywhere, a great credential for my part. And I should say I am really proud because out of 65 participants only 21 passed and Im one of them!
It’s so hard but its all Worth it! And to quote my husband “Mababa na daw value ng utak ko kc over-used” hehehe. But still Im FULFILLED!
Busy….
So many things to do… so little time!
For a working mother, what do you expect! After a days work, you come home for another work… house work! Sometimes you just want to relax and sit down, and why not… We deserve it.
Being busy makes me neglect my kids. Because i wanted to finish my chores I dont have the time to talk and sit with them… and when im done… i feel so exhausted/tired and because of these i’d rather have a nap than to spend some quality time with them.I remember my co-teacher’s motto “Di bale ng tamad, wag lang pagod! hehehe, cute isn’t! Maybe I should do this, take a day off once in a while i guess.
But I think i really need to balance my time… God knows how much i want to have a quality time with my love ones!
Reflection
Who is Blind?
He who can see no other world but His!
Who is Dumb?
He who can say nothing pleasant about his lot!
Who is Poor?
He who is troubled with too many desires!
Who is Rich?
He who is HAPPY WITH WHAT HE HAS IN LIFE!
I want to be….
Sometimes I wonder why i became a teacher? Honestly, teaching is not the course I want to pursue when I was in college, it’s computer science!
How did I end up in teaching course? Well, it’s because the college of computer science is already filled up and there’s no more vacant slot left, so the dean advice us, there are 5 of us wanting to enroll in comsci, to take other course for the mean time and then shift back to comsci in the second sem. but that did not happen. To make the story short I end up finishing the course Business Education.
Two months after I graduated I was hired as a THE teacher in a private school. And now, I am still teaching but this time in a public school. I’ve been teaching for 16 years now, 3 years in private and 13 years in public! Wow, that’s long enough don’t you think? Considering that teaching is not really my choice of field. But here I am, still teaching.
Teaching is a challenging job! Imagine, meeting different personality and teaching different fields or subject every year. Every year new challenges awaits me. I have experienced teaching Values Education, Math, Technical Drawing and yes Computer (the course I wanted). Thou I didn’t get a degree in computer, here I am teaching all about computers. Being a Teacher opens up a lot of opportunity for me! I’ve learned a lot of things about computer because of all the seminars being conducted to us teachers, really learning is a continuous process.
Somewhere along the way, I believe I was meant to be a teacher… Why? Simply because why am I here, who puts me in this place? I know everything happens for a reason like what Fr. Bobby ( a priest from don bosco college)said, “God will not allow things to happen in our lives unless there’s something Good that will come out from it!”
So here I am happy to be a Teacher, sharing what I know to my students and knowing that they learn from me makes me Happy! Now I can proudly say…
I want to be a Teacher!
