When my past few weeks were engaging and alike, well this week had doubled the effect. It seems like it reached my satisfaction as a student wherein I experienced a lot of things which missed on my early years in school. It brought me to extent happiness as well as challenging me on my career choice since we faced a lot of trials days past.

To start with, I want to remind you again that I am a graduating student (yeah I made this mark as a motivating factor☺️). We all know that before leaving the present time and wandering another mysterious world may seems so difficult and one must experience first the hardship of life upon passing through it.

I can say that this week was worth to share with. Imagine, we had a 3-day Immersion this week and luckily, we’re just assigned in our very own institution since I’m under the Sub-Strand of Education and we are about to have a class observation to the lower years (junior high/grade school/kindergarten) of about eight hours from 7:30-4:00. Each day, we are assigned in different areas and again, I’m lucky enough because I always have a partner for the observation while others go alone. Well, at the very start of entering the classroom, it seems like awkwardness wrapped me and because we had to do this, yeah we really entered the class with the teacher who was uninformed as well and ask her permission to do our task. I think it was like about a simple thing that would just seemingly observed and turning eyes around and feel the atmosphere of the classroom but it was not. I felt like a shadow that can be felt/seen by anyone that even I was there at left side of their back, they can’t still behave. They are even out if seats, and play like running around shouting and unlikely noise that was ear-deafening. Not mentioning the grade but I just share it because I got a lesson from it. I felt like, oh! It was the feeling of the teacher when the students were not showing respect among them. For the aspiring teachers out there, I just remind you all that teaching isn’t really an easy profession but when you made it with passion and achieved your goal in the teaching process, mind me, it’s the nicest feeling that no one can exchange of anything.

Another experienced was quite fun, since we’re assigned to juniors. The conversation with the students and teacher with a little joke could really give the class a vibe. It was like about getting happiness from the passion you had and it sounds interesting right?

The last day immersion sounds so special to me. Though they were just in the 2nd Grade, I can feel like they were really raised properly. They were so cute, as well as pretty and handsome. I can even hear them saying “teacher”. And it was warm in the heart that someday, the word they uttered was really who I am already. They even hug me and ask to take some selfies, how I really build love to those little kids. In terms of interpersonal and language, they were smart. They were even active in the class, sharing their opinions and it’s a good start as building foundation towards the children because as they grow, they could bring the teachings at the rest of their lives.

Another intimidating activity happened to us right after the immersion. It was the rappelling in our PE and I know that you guyz knew what was it. We are about to made 3 stages of rappelling but due to the hectic schedules, our teachers declared that having 2 stages would be enough. As look towards the 1st stage of rappelling I could say that it might just easy since it was just a “stair-like” the bleachers. But as sir Fajardo performed it, I take out a big “WHAT” from my mouth because I found it difficult and it was my first time. But then on, I performed as others did and we finally get through the second stage which was from the iron bars of bleachers to the ground floor of the gym. It again made my heart a countless pump again where I put myself on a classmate who had made fault on sliding downward and slipped her hand to the point that she was hanged on her right hand. But then on, I show the bravery inside me, I do the task without fear and atlas I made a safety rappel. How nice to the feeling. I hope that there’s really a beautiful spot for it (maybe I’ll visit the Sikyop soon, a tourist spot at Rogongon who owns a rappelling site).

Lastly was the celebration for the Personnel’s Day. Yes, it was different from the teacher’s day and this what made our institution unique. They always give importance to every individual who were part of their progress. What good idea they formulated, it encouraged and motivated individual to be better in their workplace at all times.

What made the event an extra special was that, we made a little surprise to our adviser, which they often called “Mondragon” maybe because of its strictness in class. But in spite of that, her “babydragons” won’t let this momentous event to pass by without any surprises. And with that, unconscious Mommy Dragon nearly brought to tears with extent happiness and surprise feeling. Though it was simple, but it makes a great sense among the students and teacher that in a journey they went through, they have kept a memory that marks on their heart.

That would be all and see you on the next chapter of my blog. Mwahh😚!
