the end of my two-month stint as a substitute teacher was marked by a sense of gratitude and farewell to the students who were placed in my care for the last two months of SY 2009-2010... i did not give a farewell speech on the very last day of the periodical exams primarily because i'm not used to saying farewell...in my former school, students simply come and go...i don't mind if my student says goodbye or not...the only thing that i will mind is the thought of whether or not all my students learned from me before they go to the next level...thank you to all my students for making my stay memorable....(n_n)
on the last day of the exams, i entered one of the classrooms to remind the kids to bring their chairs back to the classroom...and to my surprise, some of them sang a song when i was about to enter...i did not go in...i just stayed near the door and looked at the faces of my students who were singing that song...i couldn't stand it! i had to move away from the door...when i was about to get the papers from a chair just outside the classroom...a student from that class approached me and gave me a candle...what? a candle?...it's not even november...the student who approached me was a young lady who was the leader of that class...she was a student who always doubted her skills in math...she was always a pessimist in math even though she has that capacity to learn more...in fact, she got a good score in the periodical exam! i just hope that when she goes to the next grade, she will find meaning to why she's doing math because only when she does will her true skill stand out...
i was lucky to have met these girls...thanks girls....

Sir, thank you for the last quarter we had with you. I specifically want to thank you for the VERY APPRECIATED SCORES you give. youre like Ms. Belnas!! the lil notes "very good" and "excellent" actually makes me want to do better works! :D
:D :D I used to hate Math and found it boring because to me all I could see were numbers and nonsense... but when you taught us to explain the formula in our own words, I finally understood math! I was even able to tutor Karishma! :D :D Thank you for the good memories, sir. and I'm sorry if Nelle and I keep on having long-distance communication.
:D :D :D hope to see you next year! :D
No sir Javier, it is you who we need to thank or the one who should be thanking (did i say that right?) so, WE THANK YOU!
Your teaching skills and you always calling me in class to participate helped me GREATLY in MATH.
Sadly Sir, i have some bad news. the tutorial club i was talking to you about before... well, unfortunately, sadly and painfully, MY MOM TURNED IT DOWN. well, i have been a very bad girl... so, well you know. Tsk3. when will i ever learn? and i know what's the answer, when it is already too late. Oooh. weird. SO, i guess i have to do this 100% on my own . WISH ME LUCK.
HOPE TO SEE YOU NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.
@Julla: SCREW YOU! why on earth would math be boring?!damn!:P hahaha! kiddin hun! Labxa!:D
@Sir: yesh shir! i agree with Julla! never had those comments since... [uh let me think.o.0?] oh yeah! 3rd grade! :P It actually motivates me to exert more! But I kinda had hard feelins when you never heard our side of the story.! :| so cold!hahahahaha! peace out! :P
Sir, we should be the one thanking you...
Well, you imparted so many things to us and made the boring math class into a lively one...
Thanks for the patience and the remarks that actually makes us want to aim higher...

i was there hahahahahaha
anyway, thank you, sir, for teaching us how to "do the math" haha
and i agree with Julla!!! ["he lil notes "very good" and "excellent" actually makes me want to do better works!"]
learning is a two-way process...students are not the only one who learn from their teachers, their teachers also learn from them...it may not be obvious but the reason why i keep on teaching is because of the kind of students that i have...i wonder what kind of students will i have this coming SY 2010-2011?...hmmmm...
life as a teacher is always exciting...their was never a dull moment as my students always had something for me during that day...it maybe the questioning look on julla's face one day or it maybe the blank look on judith's face the next day...i've always been blessed by wonderful students...hopefully, i'll see them again next year...????...i'll just keep my fingers crossed...
