The Flood that won't let Go


June, July, August...I can count the months, years and ages of agony with the wrath i receive each year of being a Teacher.Maybe, this is my reward and one of the greatest challenges I have. Testing my patience all the way to the wasteland of the dreams I built with my students who stayed with me each year in this forsaken,and hated classroom at the far end of the ground floor of the second year building of Mandaue City Comprehensive National High School- Annex Campus.

Another school year and counting...it is always a nightmare! I don't want to wake up if this dream/nightmare haunts me until the end of my days as a teacher. Throughout the course I bleed, and each year of sacrifice leaps the hearts of my students; leaving the room with dreadful memories like dengue and sanitation... scared and scarred them as they say goodbye to the "swimming pool room".

But mind you, the room where I stayed for nearly twelve years taught us a lot of lessons...and even built principles and life- changing values that have/had made me and my students realized; that Life is like living in a room full of water that cleanses and freshens us up every time we get Dirty....

It is difficult for me to be in our room when it's raining, but instead of complaining about it,I took it as a challenge and tried to be determined to still go to shool and study. i keep in mind that after every rain comes sun shine so i'll not be discourage with the water coming in and flooding our room because i know that after it, warm days would come. Don't mind the rain and the flood. We go to school to learn and explore new things.

thanks for being one of my mentors

Hi! Ma'm
Yes the flood in our room taught us a lesson of helping each other
even though we are not the sweeper.
But now that we will be having assignment in every group we could be rarely helping each other in the
flood problem.

The flood in our room is a kind of challenge that measures our patience.Patience because it is like a cycle because it comes back and back again.
