Teacher for a day

I AM SO BACK FROM MY ABS-CBN STUDIO TOUR. waaaaait...RECAP NA NGA.with Senator Bong Revilla

1. Studios Tour, THE BUZZ and Dencio's after. yey yey yey! Photos here. Wathcing Buzz live is so boring. ugh. But I like the tour. hehe

2. Sleepover at Weng's. for 177 and 172. Yummy cupcakes, bottomless iced tea, healthy and yummy Nestle breakfast.

After the sleep over, we went back to UP. Fa had AdCore duties, me- ABAM and Weng had Rhett. Caloi met me at BA so I can ride with him to Balara High School for our UPCAT Tutorials. However, we had to get some food first so I forced him to accept my offer to drive his car. (MANUAL PO YUN.) Farrah watched, and as usual, the engine died on me. It happens every time someone intently watches me. hahahaha Anyhooo, the drive was smooth. YEY YEY!

I thought all I'd do there was to sit and chat with the ABAM-ers or read Eclipse. However, Chloe had to leave early so there was a slot for the science teaching. Ten minutes before the actual teaching, I volunteered to do the discussion. I enjoyed every minute of it. The students paid attention and listened. They were all participative and eager to learn. It's rewarding to see them correct their papers, or ask when they cannot understand and it feels so good to be able to impart knowledge to them. I also feel I did a good job in teaching them because of Dianne and Tim's feedback. Yehey!

When Javie took over, I joined the others in one corner and told them a little history. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a teacher. hehehe So i guess that's why I enjoyed my teaching stint. Just the 'aaaaahs' of the kids were enough to make me feel good even if my cough got in the way in the middle of my segment. Feeling ko they really looked up to me- to us.

We also had the chance to talk to some of them. We even met Sir Capistrano's second cousin. Hehe I really hope at least two from that class pass the UPCAT. Because life in UP is something not everyone get to experience. And I'd be the happiest person if I could contribute in shaping a kid's future.

Cheers to all the teachers! You're the best!
