Apples and Chalkdust

My body aches. I am very very tired from todays work. Yet, I cannot rest since I still have to prepare for tomorrows activity. I finished and passed two syllabi for today. I am also done with one schedule which is to be given to the students. I still have to do two more syllabi. I will finish one this sunday and work for the other after next week. Yes, there are lots and lots of work. I have no regrets however of leaving Jubilee. I know that I am in a right direction. It seems that I am with people who are not simply bright. They all manifest the drive for excellence. I have to rest my finger for a while. I have to work after 15 minutes. God bless you.

On Saturday, I will be a resource speaker for the seminar of the high school teachers of the Central Colleges of the Philippines. I have to really prepare for it. Anyways, the syllabus has no deadline yet. This is just for now as I have to leave for school. God bless to everyone.
