*Reflections on Teachers and Teaching

Teaching Palma ..

Being an English teacher for my section was pretty fun in a tiresome way. And it got me to really think how much more tedious it is to be Sir Elmer! Teaching a class, oh wait, TEACHING in general requires a lot of patience and hard work. It would also help a lot if you were interested in what you were lecturing about. It was a cool thing to experience, especially since I am not fond of being in front of the class. Another fun part was getting to teach together with Daphne! We’re not that close since we haven’t been classmates, but through this teaching thing, we got to get to know each other a bit more than we did before. The sucky part with this KYSD activity was when tour “students” didn’t understand our lesson!! Which part was it again? The uses of the infinitives? *grin*

The benefits from this experience?!

Better grades in English, more bonding time with Sir and how could I ever forget, McDonald’s!!
The only food I live for! *laugh*

No, but seriously, it was really fun getting to ha out and eat McDo with Sir and the other student-teachers except Susan dear Because she was absent on that day *cry*).

Here’s a song for the all the teachers!

Thank you for teaching me how to love Showing me what the world means What I've been dreaming of And now I know, there is nothing that I could not do Thanks to You For teaching me how to feel Showing me my emotions Letting me know what's real From what is not What I've got is more that I'd ever hoped for And a lot of what I hope for is Thanks to you (Oh there's)No mountain, no valley No time, no space No heartache, no heartbreak No fall from grace Can't stop me from believing That my love will pull me through Thanks to You (Adlib) (Oh There's)There's no mountain, no valley No time, no space No heartache, no heartbreak No fall from grace Can't stop me from believing That my love will see me through Thanks to You Thanks to You

(or in other words, just repeat the song, right?)

Nice. Next year I’d probably still want to teach even though I wouldn’t be able to relax and “chill-chill”. But for the memories, I think I would.

Anyway, to end this, I would like to thank my students and co-teachers and to especially to our trainer!*laugh* just kidding, to Sir!

Even though my classmates had a lot of questions, some useless, some not, thanks for making that experience worth it!!
*mwah!*
