Making A Memory
My class ended later than usual. I ended the class almost 6:30 pm, an hour longer than expected. I was a substitute teacher for an English 11 class and the project proposal that they were supposed to submit had incomplete data. Naturally, I asked them for an explanation and wanted them to submit today since it was my last day of class.
I enjoyed "baby sitting" for three meetings. The students were bright and lively, very cooperative and interested in the subject. Unlike some of my students in Miagao, the students in the City Campus in Iloilo are truly a welcome treat from disinterested students in Miami.
I conducted an experiment with my two classes here in the city. One class I treated quite strictly, the other class I was very kind and accommodating. The result? Well, the class whom I treated with extra kindness and respect had better outputs and performed well in class. They were very cooperative and active in class and they treated me with special kindness as well.
I will miss my classes in the city. Though I never went beyond knowing their faces, I shall cherish the fond memories of having been part of their academic life, even briefly.
"We become responsible for what we have tamed"... one of my favorite lines in the book "The Little Prince". I am forever changed, for having spent a few hours molding the life of precious Iskolars ng Bayan - our hope for the nation...
