Thank You Teachers

I've seen teachers who worked for hours on their lessons, who were scholars in the field fail miserably, and I've seen teachers who, if you gave them five minutes before they walked in to glance over their material, they could run a class for an hour on any topic under the sun.

Students identify teachers by different types:

The Friendly Teacher


A friendly teacher, as the very term suggests, acts like a friend for his/her students. A teacher-friend, in fact, combines both the guidance of a teacher and the understanding of a friend. We all, at some point of time, aspire for an understanding teacher. Such a teacher acts like our friend, philosopher and guide.

The Funny Teacher

A funny teacher is like a God-sent to the students. Such a teacher always wants to see his/her students smile ands make learning a pleasurable experience. They are not clumsy, as most people think them to be. Rather, they are witty and bring in humor in the most subtle form.

The Ideal Teacher

An ideal teacher is the one we respect from our heart. He/she acts as a guide to the students, while not pushing them too much. Such a perfect motivates them and boosts their morale. He/she tries to encourage the students and refrains from criticizing them.

The Lenient Teacher

A lenient teacher is easygoing and takes things as they come. He/she is not overly finicky about things, such as doing homework on time or not sitting quietly in the class, etc. Such teachers very well realize that being strict with a child can only make him/her withdrawn. However, this does not mean that one can do anything in the class of a pampering teacher.

The Strict Teacher

A strict teacher is very tough on students. He/she always insists on adhering to the deadlines. Such a teacher dislikes any mistakes or carelessness on the part of the students. Students have to be extra cautious under such a teacher. He/she is like a disciplinarian, always keeping students on their toes.

Yes, there are so many types of teachers that the students classify, I am one of those students. I have many views or opinions about my teachers, I always nag when they scolded me, feel depressed when they embarrass me and etc.

However, as I ponder and reflect, the things that they are saying are true. The actions that I make reflects my personality. Despite the numerous embarrassing and depressing moments when they are scolding me, at the end of the day, I feel very grateful because I realized who my true family is.


True friends/family never hesitate to tell you who you really are, they tell you what changes you showed and your behavior also, and I just become conscious of the people who really care for me and those are my TEACHERS.


I am who I am right now because of my teachers, my second parents. I have been studying for almost 10 years and I encountered many teachers since then. They have different names, different residences, different major subjects and especially different attitude, there's only one thing in which they don't differ, their love and care for their students.


I am very thankful for the teachers who molded me to become a better person, a reflective kind of person, a person who is able to forgive and forget and learns how to look back.


The teachers are my best heroes. THANK YOU MAAM/SIR!

HAPPY WORLD TEACHERS DAY!

Another blessing...

I just want to share the blessing that I received.

Last April 14, 2011 in Holy Trinity College of GenSan, I applied for the AFS-JENESYS (Japan East-Asia Network of Exhanges for Students and YouthS) screening, and I passed all the stages during the screening.

We waited for almost 5 months for the results to come up. And last Thursday, Sep. 15, they posted the list of finalists and alternates for the last batch of JENESYS VS Program, and I, not expecting to be on the list, came up.

I was selected as an alternate, it means that if a certain finalist cant comply to the requirements needed, then, the alternate who complied everything will be the one to replace the finalist.

I was so shocked by then, the result was unexpected. I thanked God for the very rare opportunity given to me. Imagine... There were hundreds of participants who joined the screening in each region or chapter, and out of that thousands, I was included in the list?

THANK GOD! I was so happy and I told myself that I will not waste this opportunity. I will not be discouraged to pursue the requirements even though I am just an alternate.

I will do my very best to comply everything before the deadline.

To those who prayed for me, to be selected, I thank thee very much.

And to my parents who are very supportive from the screening till now, Domo Arigato Gozaimasu!

I will give my best shot for this one.

Pls. pray for me and my friend, Christian Gino that we can overcome the obstacles and submit the requirements as soon as possible.

September is Science Month!

As we all know, in the month of September, we are celebrating the National Science Club Month with the theme: "CHEMERGY: Chemistry and Science Clubbing in Synergy" in accordance to the International Year of Chemistry. Various science activities are lined up for the celebration of the said event, and one of these activities is the National Science Club Month Summit which is held last September 3-4 simultaneously at different regions.

Our school Science Club, the ANSHS Science Club Enthusiasts (SCE) which is affiliated to the Philippine Society of Youth Science Clubs (PSYSC) did not miss the event.

Post-Valentines Day

We all have experiences which are very unforgettable. In our English class this morning, Reminiscing is very important.  

Our teacher conducted an activity to see how good we are in writing. She placed a pen, diary, comb, mug, and a flower on the table and told us to use all those objects as a variable in our narrative essay.

All of us thought that it is a very difficult task, given only an hour to think of a good topic and put it into writing, however, as my classmates are bragging about the activity, a certain experience when I was still in elementary came up. It was indeed a memorable experience of mine and I decided to write about that event.

Here's the narrative essay I wrote:

Post-Valentines Day

     The clock was ticking, the birds were singing, the sun suddenly smiled and the light entered my window, indicating a new day.

      It was Monday, February 16, and everything was still the same. I took a sip of hot coffee from my mother's mug, then took a bath. Before going to school, a dirty comb approached me, I had no choice but to use it and afterwards, I sprayed perfume in my entire body.
