The End for a Brand New Start

-
While it is clear that I will be ending my teaching 2-year stint with an unclear whereto just yet, I keep getting the same question of  Why? Why stop teaching? 

Teaching will always be my passion. No doubt. The years I had spent with kids and co-teachers made me love teaching more. How I entered the academe may have been a lot easier compared to others however, leaving it appeared to be far more difficult. I am not turning my back to this advocacy. It is education that changed my life! I am where I am right now, I know what I know right now because I learned from my teachers in school. They may not have taught me everything but they let me acquire the skills to learn other things. 

When my mentor told me that in making decisions, just ask one question, "What is the most important thing to you?" 

That is a very easy question to answer for me. My family. My family is the most important thing for me. It is also my passion to share my blessings to them. To give my parents their hard-earned comfort and joy of being the one on the receiving end. It is my joy to see my brothers and sisters enjoy their lives. Share whatever we have and maybe extend whatever we have to others outside our homes. 

Leaving the school and kids where I taught for two years is not easy. I did not come in as an ordinary teacher, I came in with big dreams and maybe big head as well that I can change the system in two years. 

Letting people realize that education can change our lives for the better will always be my passion. That every Filipino child gets equal access to quality education. In my two years of stay in the public school, I realized that the issue goes way beyond the four walls of the classroom. We have great and wonderful public school teachers. Passionate. Dedicated. Loving. They need support. For them to effectively teach these kids in the classroom, they need support. Not just a pat on the back but a more concrete support for them to keep going every day. Another is, everything starts at home. Everything. What happened to responsible parenthood? It will always be Values over Intelligence. No doubt, our values are formed at home.

My mission now goes beyond the four walls of the classroom.

For the meantime, I need to find that career that will enable me to support myself and my family and then hopefully it gets extended to more people.

    I agree. We need to also support our teachers. You're so spot on.

    All the best to your career search. I might be doing that very soon too.

      Much as I wanted to stay, .... hmm.. lemme describe how Kiyosaki said it, "It will chew me and spit me out."

      I don't wanna stop doing something because I hated it. I am stepping out to explore of other options how I can help the teachers. Sayang ang galing nila.

      May the good Lord bless us in our career endeavours! Mahirap, but i believe that God will always give me the one that is best for me and for Him as well :) :) :)

    This sounded like a speech you can share to people. It is most passionate and sincere. As always, all the best to you Cher Kat. There is always something to learn, share and teach others, just like being a teacher, wherever you will be. God bless!

      When I was writing it, I was thinking of having it delivered as a speech. I always be :) :) :) And I am so happy to have met you while I was teaching! Laking tulong ng mga binabasa kong blogs from you, in all aspects :)

The Man Behind the Metaphors

The skies had been dark like a storm is coming. It had been raining the whole night long and when I woke up that day, I had fears that Sir Jonathan can’t come to school anymore due to the heavy downpour. I opted not to ask for I may just get the dreaded response. I prepared for school. Ate breakfast, brought my laptop since I thought I may just have to stop by a coffee shop after school and finish the item analysis I am doing. It was very difficult to get a ride. I wish I can afford to buy a car and save myself and my stuff from getting wet and so that I can bring more things to school for experiments and so that I can to all the places I wanna go to and I don’t have to worry about over-packing stuff and I have thought about all of these just because its raining heavily and I have no school bus anymore L When I arrived, the school seem deserted. No kids nor parents were at the gate. The guard told me that the principal decided to suspend the class lest the heavy rains cou...

11 Things I Will Miss

Malapit na malapit na! Magpapaalam na ko sa pagkabampira. Ang pinakaunang kong career ay nagsimula sa BPO hanggang sa napadpad na ko sa mga “captive sites” companies, at hindi ko ipagkakaila ang malaking pasasalamat ko sa   pagkakataong naibigay sakin sa loob nang mahigit anim na taon. Marami akong natutunan, maraming nais kalimutan at syempre mas marami yung nais kong manatili lalo na yung pagkakaibigan at mga aral sa buhay na nabuo habang ako'y nasa trabaho at nakikisalamuha. Dahil ako ay magbabagong-buhay, nag-isip ako ng mga bagay na talaga namang mamimiss ko pag umalis ako sa pagka nocturnal being. 1. Airconditioned Office - Ang init ngayon! Obvious naman, ang mga callcenters/corporate centers ay may aircons, may alam ba kayong hindi? Ipagbigay alam sa kinauukulan.  2. Ergonomic Chair - na most of the time ay ergonomic bed na din. Natuto akong matulog nang nakaupo.--those split-second moments of opportunity para makadaupang-palad si Sleep.  3....

Just a few days ago, I posted   This Is Plagiarism   together with other write ups. And I never thought I would have this kind of Reply from   Mr. Tripster   J   who called himself   The Epaloid Lover na Feeling Ako Yung Sinulatan Here’s the entire comment: Mr. Tripster 14 March 2013 08:39 This is epalness.... Hi! I'm fine. It's really great to hear from you. I'm not trapped in the future, I do not dwell in the past. I'm simply in your dreams. You have difficulty finding me because you sometimes look in the wrong places and in the wrong moments of the day. Therefore, I cannot manifest in your world. My present is a blur and yet it's blissful. But everything will be clear if we both make a decisive choice and a giant leap of faith in our lives. How soon? I really don't know. We don't ask silly questions. It's just that sometimes we need wisdom. I'd like to be there now. But I'm no master of my time. I'm n...
