My Private School Teaching Experience

After i decided to shift into the academe, it's always been in my Sintang Paaralan. Simply because i want to give back what i reap from the university that trained me in so many ways. So i just feel the need to have my pay back. But of course, i'm not closing my doors for any possibilities. And so, a friend of mine referred me to this private and exclusive school for girls located in Makati.

I don't know what i'm thinking during my interview and during my teaching demo... until i finally received the good news: i'm in! *ginalingan

Excitement is more of the feeling i felt before the semester begun. Then when it started, more on nervousness, anxiety, and stress. Don't get me wrong, I didn't regret teaching here. The expectation's just a little different that's why. Plus i must make my own syllabus, prepare my lecture (using multiple books - well the school's very generous in lending them), and  adjust my teaching style.

To clear things up, my students are not conyo, i don't feel that they're brats as well. Maybe, they just have that look of scrutinizing you and testing you if you know what you're talking about. They're also typical millennials - having short (as in very short) attention span, easily distracted and participates mostly in activities (rather than class discussions and recitations). Nevertheless, they're fine. 😃

So, why am i blogging this. I'm not sure too... Maybe i'm thinking of not pursuing teaching here next semester? Devote my time solely at my sintang paaralan? Go back to the industry? Put up my own business?

So far, i'm enjoying what i'm doing -Teaching. It gives me a different kind of fulfillment.

I just hoped that i somehow influenced my students in a positive way and learned something from me.

Happy Teacher's Day to me!

But most importantly, happy Teachers' day to the parents and teachers around the world, the universe rather. 😍
