A School Full of Memories and New Beginnings

It's been a year since I've visited this school. This is where I spend my elementary days at Senior High school so this school has really been a special part of me. There were a lot of teachers that I have known here and we didn't see each other for a year. Those elementary teachers of mine feel so great seeing back again. Some of my teachers in elementary had retired already since they were 60+.

Visiting the room of my mother where she just substituted since the past teacher was on leave and it is a great chance for those who are applying on Deped to grab this opportunity to use this as a work experience. I thought being a teacher is just easy you were just applying and then you will be then appointed as a teacher. Seeing my mom work hard to just get the subtitution was really a lot of things to do.

There were a lot of papers you should work on plus we lived far away from the city and my mom would go back and forth just to pass the requirement. I saw how eager she was to be a teacher but as we don't have enough money the only solution is that she will borrow money from our neighbor. Seeing my mom having a debt made me want to find a job but if I want a good salary I should finish my school first. I witnessed all the handwork that my mom does and now she got this position, I'm so happy for her.

My mom called me if I could go to her room since she doesn't know how to connect the laptop onto the printer. I also didn't know what to do but I just prayed to god that I can set up the printer so that we can go home early. When I connected it for the first time, there were no signs that it could print. I keep searching on the internet to find some ways to connect this and thankfully, I found a helpful tutorial that I can easily connect to. I just spent half an hour by just searching and installing the apps so that it could work.

This room feels different, the memories lingered on my mind. I am curious of what's the life of my elementary classmates, what are the courses that they've been taking in. Just a little thought, that what if we could bond together and talk about our life on how we had been. But I know, we had our own responsibilities in our life.

My mom teaches the kindergarten, and I know that it's not that hard for her since she had experience with it back then. I also wanted to teach these little kiddos, they were just cute and I also love kids. But the step of being a teacher was really hard they say that if you had a backer you can be a teacher right away. I also believe in that since I saw how my mom is struggling day by day just to get this position.

It's currently 4:32 and I just sit on the corner, staring at this room and just reminisce on how I really missed being in this school.

When I try to print some documents, I get so happy that it worked. It is so fast and it's just easy to connect but when I try to connect it with our printer there are some errors.

The fresh air was really good, there were a lot of big trees in here that lived for a long time since I was in elementary. There were a lot of stores that get closed, i can still remember those moments that even though we can't go outside on our campus we just buy some candies in this waiting shed. Also there is a fish pond in here but they closed it since it got dirty and they can't maintain the cleanliness and the health of the fish. It got so stingy so the best way for this pond is to close for the safety of the students.

Our kids neighbor, visits my mom here and just talks to her. My mom said to me that some of the kids that she knew always came here to "mano". It's a tradition for us filipinos to mano our elders It's a way where you can show your respect to someone. I really loved those kids when they spontaneously came to me and did the Filipino tradition "mano po".
