Teacher like? I guess not…
Great patience will always be rewarded with great fortune. Especially patience accompanied with love and care.
Know Your School Day (KYSD) started last January 25, 2007, Wednesday. I applied as the Social Science teacher for this day. I replaced Professor Alfredo Montaño who is one of my favorite teachers. Four students applied for the position as Social Science teacher and all of us were accepted. The other three teachers were Shydel Raya, Sunshine Enriquez and Eldee Balolong. Fortunately, the three of us are friends so we did not have any trouble working with each other. During our class, we gave a 25-item test to our classmates. The test was about current events, important things from the book and also from the lecture that Prof Alfredo Montaño gave us. During the whole duration of the test, my classmates kept on murmuring. They were complaining about the items involved in the test, that they were very difficult. Maybe they were not that prepared for that test since we did not tell them anything about it. We intentionally gave that surprise test, as what Professor Alfredo Montaño told us to do, to know if our classmates learned anything from what he had discussed, if they read the book and if they were taking note of the current events. As for my part, I was the one in charge of the questions from the book. I did everything that I could to make that part of the test easy but still intellectually challenging. Despite the effort that I made, still I heard complains from my classmates. Those protests did not make me feel good because I know that I have tried my best for them to have good scores in that test. My patience was really tested during that time and I had to control my temper. At that moment I realized how amazing teachers are. It is not that easy to understand different students with different attitudes. It does not feel good when one of your student’s fail. If a student fails that feeling of failure is doubled for the teacher’s side. Great patience is needed to make it through all these situations. Patience is an excellent quality and I can’t equate my patience to the patience of a teacher because I am an impatient person. I know that my teachers love me and that they care for me. Even thought I am a very stubborn and lazy student, still I know that they are concern of my future. I know that they want all of their students to be successful in the near future. If they get too strict on you, be thankful, it is a good sign that they care for you. And try to follow them to the best of your abilities, because they will surely be grateful if you show them that you are thankful. With all those sacrifices that they have done and they are still continuing to do, I believe that we should honor them.
Hopefully, I would learn to be more patient and learn to care for others someday. Being more patient would surely help me attain my aspirations in life. I’ll forever be grateful to my teachers because they taught me essential things about life, things that only through them might be granted to me. They taught me things beyond what was expected from them. They taught me how to live through the raging difficulties of life.
Great patience will always be rewarded with great fortune. Especially patience accompanied with love and care.
