A Little Trip Down Memory Lane: Reminiscing the Good Old School Days

Good day Hivers!

As I was still reluctant, I asked for my mother's opinion and advice and that's how she made her way into persuading me to take an educational course. I first tried my luck at Cebu Technological University ( Danao Campus) but unfortunately, that place was not meant for me so I tried entering CTU Tabogon. I was nervous that if I wasn't able to pass there, I'd be unable to study for another year and that feeling scared the whole out of me at that time I always thought that it would be better to be at the same pace with my batchmates. I was still immature thinking that life should always be a race and by any means necessary I should also do what those people that surround me are doing. The uneasiness became unbearable and I always prayed that if being a teacher would be fitting for someone like me then I'd do my best to survive and try earnestly if I am accepted into the university, my prayers got heard and I did become one of CTU's Tabogon's student.

As I started my journey, I was still not sure of my capabilities, I had my doubts scattered everywhere and the professors would always engrave in our minds the things that we should consider while pursuing this way of life. Doubting myself, I still try to do my best to comply with all the projects and assignments even at some times it gets very draining both physically and mentally. In this course I've also learned how to give in to someone else's effort, I mean to say that my classmates were all amazing for they were also doing their very best just so that they could survive and their display of perseverance also ignites me in doing my all so that I'll be able to improve my strengths and to be able to keep up with them, I have realized the essence of accepting other people's weaknesses and strengths, I do realize that everyone had their own pace and that I should just focus on doing what I do best and imparting my knowledge when someone needs it and such thing drives me to coexist with classmates. Adults would often say that school is just a minor part of society, and honing our knowledge will not be enough instead young people should work on skills to become capable of surviving the world but from what I've internalized from my experiences, every phase of life is important for every bit of it has its focal point that will drive every individual on how would they grow and perceive those things that surround them.

Together with my classmates, we faced a lot of ordeals even though we were still in our second year but that didn't hinder us to continue in doing our earnest survival, As time went by I learned that the process of doing and becoming something plays a great role in achieving a more meaningful results. As we go through many challenges, we should always take our time and appreciate those people who have been with us and feel grateful for their contributions even if they don't entirely feel that they're capable of inspiring other people. Achievements are the results of one's unyielding efforts to gain something but even if sometimes we feel that our efforts are being unpaid because the results that we get are not what we exactly envisioned, We should always remember all the feelings, efforts, and actions that we strongly adhere to take are also important in becoming a more dignified individual.

Even now I still have doubts but I think that getting through this course together with those people that's been with me would always be remarkable. I'm quite aware that not all of my classmates want to become a teacher but I do hope that even if we are to go different paths we can still gather together and reminisce about moments that also play an important role in helping us mold our individualities. Achievements may come in a lot of forms just like how I count it as an achievement when I learn to give value to my strengths and do my best to work on making my weaknesses a source of my aspiration for success.

As I've spent my two years rearing up with my course I've gathered a lot of valuable things, and new friends that have been so good to me and even if there could be times when misunderstanding do arise we still find our ways to understand our differences and learn to compromise with each other. Now, I still have two years that are yet to unfold and I can't wait to imagine the things that may come out with our experiences all I can hope is that we'll all grow well and that we should be able to appreciate each other more while fighting for our way of achieving our goals in life. I've always thought that college life would become unbearable but I'm all grateful to the people that I've and to the people that I'll be acquainted with in the future through this path that I've chosen for myself.

Sayōnara Hivers! That's all for today, Have a great day ahead

I'm Madimoire and for today's blog, I'd like to share with you some of my experiences about my journey in school. I do hope that my thoughts and feelings will reach to all of you. As I've already shared in my intro blog getting to study the profession of teaching was not my cup of tea, Now let's go back to the days when I was still having this internal debate as to which path should I pave for myself. I've always thought that being a teacher is such a noble job and so I criticize myself for lacking the will to become one. I'm not good at handling kids even at home I get easily annoyed by the noise and whining of my spoiled cousins. I've always imagined that maybe if ever I do become a teacher someday I would easily get my license tainted for I don't know if I'll be able to hold myself back when it comes to handling a bunch of innocent kids that are most likely unaware of their surroundings and the only thing that they care about would be themselves and their whims.
