I Can Make It

Parents are the best teachers. Do you concur to this idea? If not, on what grounds don’t you agree? Haven’t you learned many good things from your parents? This same idea was brought up to me when I had my teachers’ training several years ago for a special examinations instructor. I had this topic on our essay writing session. I indeed wrote a 250 word essay on this topic. I thought my ideas were only left on the paper but as I went looking for my life and success, I found out that what I wrote on that piece of paper were the same values I’ve learned from my loving parents which serves as my guide now that I am out of my comfort zones. More so as I’ve got to live on my own now, I found out that I’m living the way my parents raised me up as child. The values they taught me when I was a young girl helped me in my decision making and most especially how I should behave with other people now that I’m in a foreign land. Indeed, I can say that I’m so proud of my parents for molding my young mind as I was in my vulnerable and delicate years. Without them, I’d be like a sheep going nowhere without direction and aim in life.

Today is no different from my other weekends here. I got observed by a parent in my second class in the afternoon. I guess it didn’t go well with us since I only played little games with them and I don’t know if the parent enjoyed my class. Well, that smile on her face was enough to tell me everything was okay with her. I just love my second elementary studes class’ coz they are all brainy and receptive in the class. I could see real enthusiasm painted on their faces every time we see each other. In fact, on of my students was so early – Karen and she was the one who won in the English speaking contest here in our place. Pretty proud for her as well. Her mother really gave me a gift after that. Grins.

Well for my middle school studes this afternoon was really great having them. Five of them in my class and we only have one boy – Tom whom we often mistakenly call ‘her/she’ instead of ‘he/him’. Smiles. The class was pretty receptive and eager to chat this afternoon. There was never been a dull moment in the class. That made me took a sort of breather with them after a long but rewarding day with my elementary studes in the morning. Smiles.
