015 Life of significance

It has been ages since the last time I wrote here. I have been busy for the past few days panning for my new-found business and mapping out my life. I am dreaming big and I dream a life of significance.

This is the first time that I am not excited for the first day of class. Maybe because I still don't know the people that I am going to meet. or maybe because I am not so much excited with the subject I am to teach. I know that this is temporary, once I meet my students, I know things will certainly change. There is so much life into teaching that death would not be able to conquer. I know enthusiasm will soon come back.

I hope that in a few days, I would be able to write down my dreams. I want to feel, smell, see, hear, and if possible, taste it. I want my dreams to become flesh and blood reality.

By the way, tomorrow i will be delivering a speech at the Metro Manila Toastmasters Club. My tentative title is DREAMWEAVER. I will post the speech at smarspeech soon.

010 Learn Latin

One of my co-teachers shared that he learned his Latin right after college. He took pains to study the language every summer. That made him qualified to teach Latin though he was a chemical engineering professor at the university of the Philippines. He is young; he looks intelligent too considering his young age.

I have also observed that most of the teachers are ambitious. Every one wants to advance in his career. PAREF offers each teacher a training which is a little bit of all the good things. This is very much a unique school. Something like a seminary in a layman's world. Some may not like the involvement of parents in the management of the schools. But PAREF way is di

014 Work

There are still so many things that need to be done. I have to work to live. I have to live to do my mission. I don't feel good today. Same as yesterday.

So today I will construct my last two syllabi wash my clothes write my 2nd speech for the toastmasters construct my daily schedule make affirmation cards...I need this for I am now out of balance... go to church chat with a friend clean my room, and try to be myself again. I have to do this and stop waiting for the manna of chikka to come online this morning....

017 Teachers Day

I went home early today. We just reported for half-day with which we celebrated our teachers day. There was no fun-fare. It was simple and communal. Somehow, it is much better this way. The other days I received messages from my former students from Jubilee greeting me happy teachers' day--something absent in Northfield. I feel that it is not really a culture here to celebrate such day...maybe because there are so many celebrations that an additional one would not matter so much.
