Period ( . )

I said good-bye to elementary teaching last Friday, August 29, 2008. I resigned due some personal reasons. Now, no more....

> lesson plans
> examinations
> topic outlines
> class records
> textbooks
> teacher's manuals
> school memos
> classes
> school discussions

What's sad about this is that I will no longer have time to bond with my students. I could still remember how my advisory class cried before I leave, and how they prepared cards and letters. (Medyo nakakataba ng puso at nakakalungkot at the same time). Sa decision na aking ginawa, I believe they were the ones who were greatly affected... though may teacher naman na nag-take over right away.

I won't forget those times na nakikipagkulitan ako sa mga bata. 'Di kasi ako mahilig sa kids since I have younger siblings (at parang nagsawa na...), but through them, I learned to appreciate children. They are so honest (to the point na nakaka-offend na minsan ang mga sinasabi..hahaha!), so pure, cheerful and giving, nakakabless. I pray that I'll meet them again someday.

When it comes to teaching... will it be a "period" Lord?
