So how is it like to be one?
When I had that decision to resign, teaching was in my very head as i had considered the no hassle process in applying. Simply means, I took it a little for granted.That was after hearing how most of my colleagues landed a teaching job that easy. Recent graduates did as well that made me think our degree is in great demand locally. That's where I got my confidence that I can easily get a teaching job to pay my remaining bank debt.
But I was a little late. The Colleges where I applied already have their new hired ones and if not, they don't need for a new one. So I was in a little commotion, bothered of what's gonna happen to me with my debt. And that came the answer from my dear mentor as he offered me a teaching job somewhere here in Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay.
I never considered teaching to be a career maybe as part time which i have stated on my application letters. I was planning to do more on business. Maybe that was one reason they rejected me, they might prefer for a full time. And one more thing, the idea that you'll be with these young adults of different moods and attitudes, i would find it hard to adjust. And one last thing is my body figure being petite or skinny that would be more hard to convince them that i'm their teacher. But still i push through.
When i arrived, i then asked sir albert about the students. He said they're fine though there are worst ones. I am actually worried about myself to be in front of these strangers listening and somehow criticizing me on my very face. But then i thought, I'm their teacher and they can't change it. Their future lies on my hand, through the point of my pen.
My first step in the campus of WMSU-External Studies Unit of Ipil happened that 10th of June. My very reaction was quite not good. I was expecting a bigger view. The school is about 8years old and the school is still under progress. There are only two buildings and it's located in a hill. A bit quiet but the overlooking view of whole ipil can take your boredom off. I was supposed to start that day, but there's a need for me to be interviewed. So i showed up in the office of the Executive Head. The interview run smoothly and as expected, since i'm hired that urgent, there's no way for them to refuse me..lol.
My very start happened that 11th. 4 subjects were assigned to me and 3 of them are for first year which i somehow felt comfortable with. And what to expect, it's my first day so i had to get to know them through a short acquaintance. And the show began with me talking in detail everything after hearing their expectations as freshies. The other 1 subject is a programming course for the 2nd year engineering studs.
It's been a month since that day. And so far, I'm somehow getting use to it as I realize it's not an easy task. Things are to consider like making sure that they are learning, always to consider patience as a goddamn virtue and you must be that damn competent in their very face. Everyday is like being inside a cage of hunger lions ready to eat you without a chew. Pressure is always their but must not be that obvious or else they'll find it your weakness. I always show off an aura of a slight terror effect for them to have a little fear of me. And before I had my very start, I insisted to instill to them my principle that goes; "If you want to be respected, then give respect."...If you want a good grade then respect the grade maker.....
