Thanks for the wonderful year! As the school year is about to end...I would like to say some words of thanks and few reminders to guide you as you journey to the next level of your education-the junior year. One academic year is enough for me to know each and everyone in the class. I know, ours is not a smooth sailin one..as we had share of misunderstanding, miscommunications and petty problems on your behaviors. yet, as your teacher- you were able to show me that you are 'good followers and disciplined enough.' I appreciate you for this! It's obvious that individual differences-(indivuality) is one of the reasons why sometimes its quite difficult for you to stand as one, but with constant advising and persistent efforts to work hard toward one goal- again, you prove to me and to others that you can achieve something and be victorious on

It is with great joy that I extend my advance warmest CONGRATULATIONS to all of you...

Remain steadfast in your FAITH in HIM...by entrusting in Him all your plans, dreams and goals in life. May you always remain humble and patient that in terms of defeat and disillusionment, you may find wisdom and courage to continue conquering, surviving and achieving what is there to achieve.

History Mystery:

Have a history teacher explain this if they can. Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846. John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960. Both were particularly concerned with civil rights. Both wives lost their children while living in the White House. Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. Both Presidents were shot in the head Now it gets really weird. Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy. Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln . Both were assassinated by Southerners. Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson. Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808. Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908. John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839. Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939. Both assassins were known by their three names. Both names are composed of fifteen letters. Now hang on to your seat. Lin

Maybe the world would be a little nicer if everyone…

•Stopped just LISTENING to a friend’s problems and started actually CARING about them. Believe me; they’ll be able to tell the difference. •Said hello to a random stranger. Some people might give you a weird look, but you never know when you’re missing out on meeting someone amazing because of words unspoken. •Walked away from an argument before they say something they’ll regret later. Once you set your mind to it, it’s not hard to be the bigger person. •Stopped caring about what everyone else thinks. If you have time to care, then you’re not really living life. •Didn’t believe what people who DON'T MATTER say. They’re just trying to hurt you, so don’t bother listening. •Expressed what they feel. Even anger and hurt are better than no emotion at all. •Apologized when they know they’re wrong. Pride can’t keep you company on a cold night. •Allowed themselves to love. It’s better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. •Complained about th

Coping with that toxic emotion

"Anger, that toxic emotion, you can't just ignore.” You'll feel better if you let it go. Can you remember an instance when someone points his finger to you blaming you for things you don’t even understand, a situation where you’re not even a part of, accusing you for the crime that’s obviously not your fault? Or simply put- you were blamed because someone’s expectations were not met…Did you experience being embarrassed in front of many people by irresponsible outburst of emotion? How did you react then? Of course, different reactions to different situations. If you really have nothing to do with the situation, natural reaction would be…”What the hell is he doing to me?” Why make himself so mad by shouting at the top of his voice without even trying to find out what really happened prior to the outburst of his “as high as skyscraper’s” voice. In a situation like this- its better to ‘keep your cool’ so you can relay the message with utmost understanding. Moreover,

On Teaching and Teachers

Teachers are today’s greatest heroes. We have lots of heroes actually- sportsmen, m edia personalities, supermodels. They come, they have their 15 minutes of fame, and they go. But the popularity of teachers never wanes. My memory is teeming with beautiful thoughts about my teachers then. I have so much to say about them, especially that I was able to witness how patient and how hard working they are. Being educated in a rural public school, I know how hard the life of a teachers, and of course the ordeals that they have to bear,as they are expected then to reach unattainable goals with inadequate tools. The miracle is that, they accomplished the impossible task with flying colors. Teachers are expected to perform the peculiar dual task of inculcating knowledge while at the same time breaking down resistance to its inculcation. Many expect them to serve to a large degree as surrogate parents dealing with the emotional tangles and torments of the adolescents yea

BETRAYAL

How would it feel to know someone is crying because of you at this very moment? How would it feel to simply know that because of you, a person’s beautiful reflection is shattered, like a pretty held with care vase into fragments of baneful glass. I doubt it would feel pleasant. Such guilt would it bring to my conscience If ever I experience such. Deep shame and self blame would overpower my heart. Some things are really best left unsaid. The tongue is indeed sharp, it can slice a person’s dignity clearly in two, if ever certain matters are declared and talked about. So knowing this, why cause an outrage? A scandal? For what purpose? To prolong or extend a new chapter to an already- closed story. Matters were already settled and the broken vase was ‘seemingly’ wholeheartedly fixed. And the story was better left cut short. Why is here a need to open the story for additional writing? Why not think of the consequences when you speak? Why not consider the outcomes befor

I am a TEACHER :)

What I do and say are being absorbed by young minds who will echo these images across the ages. My lessons will be immortal, affecting people yet unborn, people I will never see or know. The future of the world is in my classroom today, a future with the potential for good or bad. The pliable minds of tomorrow's leaders will be molded either artistically or grotesquely by what I do. Several future presidents are learning from me today; so are the great writers of the next decades, and so are all the so-called ordinary people who will make the decisions in a democracy. I must never forget these same young people could be the thieves or murderers of the future. Only a teacher? Thank God I have a calling to the greatest profession of all! I must be vigilant every day lest I lose one fragile opportunity to improve tomorrow. ~~~Ivan Welton Fitzwater

You Are Worthy!

Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special. Do not set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you. Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless. Do not let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past nor for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life. Do not give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. It is a fragile thread that binds us to each other. Do not be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave. Do not shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love; The fastest way to lose love is too hold it too tightly; In addition, the best way to

Kaling ako Kabataan! (Tulang Bantoanon)

Ak narurumruman tung panahot kabataan. Mga karanasang indi ak malimtan. Indi mamalayan paglipas it mga oras. Palibhasa'y pusit pa, uya ra gi aalala. Sa bawat adlaw nak nalipas ra it kato. Uya't asa isip kundi buhay nak maado. Sa pagsuyor sa iskuyla, kada adlaw pursigido. Makabaoy ra it marka, higit pa sa pumasa. Pangidamo ay partey ra it ling ato kabataan. Tuna aga hanggang gab-iy, hagto ngani sa yakaran. Pikpiriko, alabaduhan basta mahadag ka buyan. meski udo sa kanidogan, gamit sa laguslusan. Sa pagtawog sa madabas, meski sa puno it santol. Pagkatuling ingbubuhat uyang gador yawhak. Meski sa ugbos it sanga, nabitin, naparadaw pa. Pag pilhig ay perting bunga sa sakop it kamiseta. Kag pagrakop it bila bila ruto sa kalikutan. Usang bagay nak indi rang gadoir nako malimtan. Pati ruli ruli sa mga punot abokado. Uya ligtas sa pilit it yangka, gamit namo sa pagrakop. Pagpanihi ag pagyukyok ruto sa tangkuyan. Kasusadya'y raw pag nakarakop it maisot nak tambilawan. Palata ag
