oh my teaching days..... recalled
howdy hoooo!
seems like ive been writing here a lot lately. well, i have nothing much to do these days but wait. as u know, i really hate waiting. i hate surprises. i dunno, maybe because i dont wanna be caught off guard if an infavourable situation comes.
i just started watching this japanese soap entitled GOKUSEN.ive seen this years ago after some of my former students said im just like her in handling my classes. so when i was hanging out at the faculty office for a bit, i told this to one of my colleagues and she said that, that teacher didnt do anything but to spoil and tolerate her delinquent students. well, i got curious so i started watching it.
upon watching it, i understand why i was compared to her. how she believed, trusted and respected her students is how i used to be before. i had such a great relationship with all my students on my first year of teaching. i was handling religion classes and english. one of the most boring subjects of all time. but i manage to get my students interested and listening. even the most notorious and lazy class. haha i remember my first year HS kids. most of them will come to me after class just to talk about everything. during quizzes, im quite strict on them about cheating and most of them do study and everybody will pass my quizzes. they feel good after.
my grade 6 pupils. my first advisory class. a graduating class. im so proud to tell the world that all of them went to college and striving hard to finish it. although, there are situations where they have to stop. but they will always update me with what's going on.
maybe for now, they will forget about me cos they're still in school. but i hope when the time comes they will have their own family and kids, i hope they will still remember me.
i guess the key to touch a person's life is to fully trust them, believe in them and most of all, love them with all your heart and judgement. most people who ends up doing things that could hurt people are the product of the wounds they have acquired from painful experiences. they think that this is their way to protect themselves. but we have to always believe that even the most wounded creature will be able to recover if u give it proper TLC.
i say never stop loving. never stop caring. until u finally find that person who would do the same to u. if u think that u wont meet such person, just be glad that u were able and had the chance to do this to people u truly care about. the rewards might not be here in the material world but when to finally went home in the arms of our loving Father.
