Way back June 2006, it is my first teaching year. a very exciting part because it is my first time of meeting classes, first time of everything. Hoping for the best, seaching for anew beginning, a vocation that I thought will be last..
Now the year 2011. March 25, 2011 will be my last teaching day. March 28-29 will be the Final examination period and It will be the last. the last day of my teaching career, my last day of so-called Teacher.my last day of being a public school teacher, my last day of being a MAKATA, saying GINOONG REGGIE by my colleague, GURO o MAESTRO by my students because of teaching Filipino language, reading and literature for almost five years. very memorable phase of my life. I never forget all the headaches, the struggles, sad moments, frustrations the highest peak of triumph, unforgettable and memorable. All of them remained even though I will now leaving to the place where so many dust after the hard day work, seeing trucks getting sand on the lahar area and many more.
I grew up to be more strong and seeing the reality in everyday teaching endeavor, students with different problems at home and to the society, dilemma on teaching life, worrying about Head teacher observation,many days of sermon to the students, going to different home to follow-up students, competitions, organizing contest and many more.
My teaching vocation will now going to an end. Like in the Game it will be over, like in the day it will be the night. In the book it will be the last page but there is something new will come.
On May 15 it will be my first day of my religious vocation. giving 100% time to the Lord. Loving him very much, giving him the utmost time and sharing my talents and time for the betterment of mankind.
I am now ready to face another vocation, facing my toughest and exciting formation in life and hoping for a best.
Holy Trinity, bless me always..
