Before and Now by Cora

When I was young, I did not have to worry about many things. All I did was to play and play. I did not know yet the meaning of hardship. I was then a little child who was not aware of the true meaning of life. There were times that I was mad, sad, and cried, but it was just for a moment and turned into joy. My happiness would be satisfied in a very simple way, which I shared to my playmates and friends. They were the special people who were important to me including my family.

I remembered the first time I entered in the school. There were many people around the classroom, and those people were the parents of those studentr, and those students were my classmates. I was then a grade one student. My mother bought le a new bag, pair of shoes, notebooks with different pictures of cartooon characters, pencils, `nd all the things th`t I needed in school. Honestly, when I was in grade school, I really love to rmell my newly bought school supplies. It made me happy every time I had seen those things of mine.

I did not already remember some of the names of my classmates in first grade, even though the name of my crush. Yes! I had my first crush when I was in grade one. But there is only one person that I would never ever forget. He is my neighbor until now and his parents and my family have good friendship. He was my childhood friend, but he always made me cry. Every time I see him now, I always remember our friendship and quarrels, and it makes me smile.

Before I graduated in elementary level, my adviser in sixth grade left us a simple but meaningful message for us to be aware of what would might be happened in our life when we would be graduated in grade school. She said that, when we reach such end, we would face the new beginning of life's journey. I realized that, when I entered on the next level of my educational journey in highschool, the beginning was started again, like when I was in grade one. It was very different on my previous life. I met new classmates and they became my friends. At first, it was very hard to adjust. The environment was not really the same just like before. Some of my teachers were not as patience as my elementary teachers were. Some subjects had changed too. It became more difficult than in my usual subjects in elementary, but I able to overcome those kind of circumstances.

What kind of person is me right now is the foundation of what I had experienced and contributed to myself. I never said that the outcome of my past is all positive. The journey of mine is not yet done. There are many trials, failure, and victories that is waiting for me. I have to push myself in hardwork, determination and eagerness to do my responsibilities and task. So that, I would be able to face all the trials that will come into my life and make me more competetive and stronger person.

"My Wonderful Days" by BIA

The school of BNHS is my dear alma mater. Wher I started to enjoy mylife, during the time my funnyt classmates.In my first year high school days, sometimnes we're not so serious in our study, we always visited from place to place and did everything we had been enjoyed, bonding everywhere, we shared those laughter stories, jokes rather than to study our lessons, mostly everyone of us was not intended to read books. I thought if how's my condition when it comes a fourth year student? Because during our T.L.E subject, i saw those fourth student year make a delicious cake for their project and I'm insecured them in those activity. I thought that the time will comes that i might experience that kind of activity they had made.

When i reached my second year, third and fourth year, I tried to stand on my own, for my family have no time for me in attending whatever school activity, so I my own did it for me. Like when the enrollment comes, I myself tried to talk to a person who is attended in that particular arrangement of my papers to comply my needs and when my school days comes whatever the school administration calls for parents to attend meetings. I myself pretended that my parents is on my side but in truth my purpose is just to listen for what must my parents will contribute on what will be the result of a particular school assembly for Parents and Teachers together for school organization.

Now and then, I've experience a lot, with my schoolmates, classmates, teachers and more teachers loves me during my high school life, sometimes one of my teacher wants me to live in their house, but more I love my grandma, I can't leave her whatever happen.

Tpo my every subject, I wished to have a good grades in every grading periods that I liked to see in my report cards, but in what way i can get a good grades? Then, I realized that I can't reached those grades I had dreamed if i did not study hard and try to become intended in this hobby. Through my faith and hardwork I overcome it. Then I started to shared my knowledge to my classmates and I started to become serious and responsible student. Especially in my fourth year high school for we are still graduating , we must aware in evrything for what is happening. Currently, maybe we are in critical situation for choosing the careerfor our future. Even there are times that we're in a difficulty in life living, we had been enjoyed our days while we're being solved the problems.

I still remember my happiest moments that we had been together with my classmates when my classmate invited us to their fiesta. We walked together to their far place where they had been celebrate their fiestas. We're so much excited & enjoyed on that occassion, there's a lot of people are happy, there is a closeness of friends, relatives, and togetherness for the whole barangay. Then, we enjoyed eating delicious different kinds of foods, then go to different beautiful places, chuch, gymnasium, where we saw different games, carnabals, the beautiful beaches, I heard and saw the wonderful sound of sea waves on sea shores.

Suddenly, when the graduation came, most of us didn't like to far apart each other, 'coz we missed each others in those days that we'd been together during our laughters and fears the emotions that we had. Some of my classmates saying "Hope it will back to the future".

Thus, mosat of us are not ready to enter college life. High school is different to college life., it is facing a challenges and careern and excitement, sometimes fear. But in high school full of enjoyment and laughters. Then, I relaized that there is no way to progress in dicontinous studying. And now, i accept that improvement is needed. No matter how difficult it is to face challenges in this profession. Therefore, now and then following my destiny and my wonderful days of life wiht my faith and love to God.

If you Love your Profession, you should Love your Students by Loveydab

The bond between a teacher and a student is a "give and take relationship". A student learners from the teacher,and the teacher also learns from the students.A classroom is not just a mere for walled room with a table in front and arm chairs arranged in rows.But,it is a world full of different creatures,thoughts and personalities combined altogether to come up with one mission is to share life.

The teacher does everything for the good of her student.The teacher guides every path.The teacher gives light towards any students dream.The teacher serves as the second parent-a person who knows how to help,understand,care,love,and bleed for a pain that she can will endure silently.She is the only and best inspiration for every student-today,before and even for the generation to come.We cannot avoid of the students attitude,who always teacher get mad, for thier is the lowest grade in card.Who sleep in class, for they shall be confused during math class.The ones who laugh hard, for they shall see teacher in no time.Who lie and cheat for high grades,for they shall fail greater adversities in the future.The students who fight for what is right,for they shall obtain thier teacher's respect.

For every misbehavoir and conduct a student displays,a teacher will be the ultimate caretaker.As a teacher who was facing the fact that the students coming is not usually good writers, we had to develop a program that would encourage them to improve. With the advent of state testing, other teachers at this level also searched for ways to improve . As we tried, shared, and improved what we did, so did the student's writing.Sharing some of the things that we found to be effective for us. This is by no means an inclusive list on effective writing.Through practice, proficiency is achieved. Through practice using a good planning pattern, the process becomes a second nature thinking skill. We should always remember that the practice is not drill as the product is ever changing. Mistakes will be made, but good evaluation, especially self-evaluation will see that the mistakes are not repeated. Since writing is communication, always remember that the goal is to become clear, concise, and unified so that the students can follow along and appreciate the teacher's point of view and train of thought.

Whether it was an activity, telling jokes, or anything else that the teacher planned to make things more interesting. It helps to keep the students focused and actually take in the information because they want to learn and listen to what is being said. Everyone has been to a boring hour-long lecture when basically they slept or daydreamed through the whole thing and not learning or understanding anything within that hour. Maybe if the teacher would have made things more interesting or told a few jokes more students might have listened more to what was being said. Showing that learning can be fun is such an important quality in teaching. To be a successful teacher you have to have a love for what you are doing. Otherwise you are not helping yourself as well as helping your students learn. Most of the most memorable teachers had this quality within them. Most of them expressed it greatly among their students and made the year enjoyable. Being enthusiastic and showing your love for learning helps also your students to become enthusiastic for learning. Showing you have confidence for them to be successful helps your students to build confidence within them.

Teachers did their jobs very well and showed by example how to be a good teacher. Many of the students decided to become a teacher because of these good teachers. These teachers were able to inspire their students to do something other than their homework. They inspired them to become teachers and follow in their memorable teacher’s footsteps.Engineer,doctor,prist etc. they cannot reached that position without teacher!teacher is the mother of all profession.
