Challenging is an understatement to
describe my first week in DepEd. Nevertheless, I had a blast. In a matter of
five days I learned many things which I believe will be very helpful in my stay in school. Meeting kind and nice fellow teachers made my first week easy as
well. Many of them offered their help without being asked; for that I am very thankful.
In a short period of time I was able to gain new friends.
Although I still have to get the hang
of handling high school students, I believe time will come I will be able
to master it. I just have to be patient. Things don’t change overnight;
everything always undergoes in a process.
I must also admit that the entire
environment is a far cry in the previous schools I have worked for. It does not
have the same facilities with the private schools. However, I am elated to see
children working hard to reach their dreams. My advisory class for one,
although sometimes they get very rowdy, never fails to make me smile each time
they participate in my class discussion. It is more of a mutual relationship
where I motivate them to work hard for their dreams and I get motivated because
I see them performing well in school.
I am aware that there are more
challenges along the way but I believe doing my part and surrendering everything
to my Creator will make things easy.
