This Teacher's Day...

          “Teachers make all professions possible”. This saying just proves how important teachers are. Their job may just be that simple; teach, give tests, record, compute, etc. But the truth is, being a teacher needs much patience, perseverance, understanding, and love to work. It is very tiring to be a teacher. This teacher’s day, I just want to thank all my teachers from the start until now for helping me to be what I am now.

          When I was at pre-school, Teacher Lyn was my first teacher. I still remember how she taught me (with my classmates) where is left and right and how to count. I didn’t finish my nursery though, because I was somehow irritated of school those days. So when I came back to school again, my mother enrolled me on the kindergarten class. We were only five in the class and Teacher Kris was our teacher. She taught us many things including how to count 1 up to 100. She was able to return my love of school and I’m very thankful of it.

          In elementary, I had so many teachers. Teacher Minnie was my grade 1 and 2 English teacher. She was very good and she loves all of her students. I remember when she gave me an answering booklet on my birthday. I was very touched by it and I felt she wants me to be more intelligent. I did answer all activities in that book. Teacher Emmie, and Teacher Melanie were also my teachers in grade 1 and 2. They taught me the basics in Science and Makabayan well. Without them I would not know the advanced topics well.

          When I was in grade 3, I transferred to another school, and I had a new environment. My adviser was Ms. Beth. Even though she was strict, she disciplined us well. I spent my years of studying there until grade 6 and I met many teachers. Sir Edz was one of my favorites. He was entertaining and at the same time very good in teaching. Ms. Belle was a teacher that loves and cares much about her students. Ms Vangie was still a very good teacher even she makes the discussion entertaining. Ms. Neth was a very good Math teacher and she encouraged me to study more for me to be smarter. Ms. Wheng was a very good guidance councelor at the same time a teacher. She made my attitude better. Sir Daniel was my adviser when I was in grade 6. He was a very good Math teacher and she disciplined us well. My other teachers who helped me a lot were Sir Raymar, Ms. Gherleen, and Sir Ronnel.

          Now I am a highschool student here in CNSHS. Ma’am Pareja was my Natural Science teacher and she was very good in teaching. She was also strict in making students disciplined. She taught me not only about Science but also about real life and good attitude. She is a teacher I surely will never forget. Ma’am Lenny was a skilled teacher with morals to share to her students. Ma’am Jennylou is funny and very good in computers. Together with Ma’am Myra, Ma’am del Val, Ma’am Bel, Ma’am Orsal and Ma’am Paulo, my first year became really meaningful and fun.

          When I was a sophomore, Ma’am Jenette was my adviser. She was very loving and kind, at the same time a very good Math teacher. Ma’am Chato has always been funny in our Geometry class. Ma’am de Luna, and Ma’am Digma was also very good and they taught me to be more industrious and disciplined. Ma’am Arlyn was very kind to us and made us experience many things in class like various kinds of reporting. Sir Tom was strict about discipline. He taught us very important lessons especially in health education. Ma’am Tenny was also very kind to us and taught us many things in English and Music. Ma’am Elaine was also very funny and informative in her subject, Biology. I learned many things from also from all of them. My second year was worth it because of them.

          Now, in my third year in this school, my adviser is Ma’am Arceo. She always entertains us in class. She is strict but very good in teaching Math. Ma’am May is very good in English and she also teaches us many values and lessons. She trains us to be good not only in writing, but also in speaking. Ma’am April is a very good teacher of Chemistry. She makes us more disciplined aside from just making us good in the subject. Ma’am Lucky is very kind at the same time very good in Analytic Geometry. She encourages her students as she teaches them effectively. Ma’am Jenny is very good in explaining even the most confusing topics in Physics. Ma’am Malou is very kind and understanding to us. Sir Ces is entertaining and very informative as he teaches Statistics. Ma’am Ruby always helps us on our research. Ma’am Eve always gives understanding and teaches us the lessons slowly so we’ll understand those, also Ma’am Ligsa in Spanish. Ma’am Arlyn has always been very understanding and kind to us. I’m contented and confident that my teachers will be able to make me better this year.

          Every teacher is different from each other. They have different personalities, techniques and styles. But all of them are still the people who make all professions possible. They are all those who mold people to be a better one. They all deserve honor and countless gratitude.
