Supposedly, this year is my last year in school. Supposedly.
Flashback two years ago: Our section was composed of 50 college kids dreaming to be educators in a country where the educational system is questioned.
We all have our ideals. We firmly stand in what we believe that we can somehow effect change in the system. Our responses to our professors' question on why we chose an Education course is very simple: "We love children. We love influencing other people. We want to mold the young so they can be effective members of the society."
Years passed and the original 50 dreamers were trimmed to 40. What happened? Some shift courses, while most find jobs to sustain their education, but was not able to find time to study. And on the summer of that year, a friend returned home to the Big Guy Up There a day after her 18th birthday.
Junior year came.
We all came to realize that we cannot simply change the system, we realized that being a teacher is not that easy. Lesson planning sessions challenged our determination and patience and made us doubt if we really want to pursue what we have started. But then again, we were able to push through and had our first taste of demonstration teaching.
Senior year.
What will happen next?
We'll see.
AY 2009-2010, here we come! :)
What happened in 1st day?
1. I lost the presidency of the class for some reasons I still don't want to mention. :)
2. The terror Filipino professor is now baack!
3. The student council had our first meeting.
4. I didn't LIKE some of our instructors.
