Reflection on diligence, invaluable service as teacher, educator

The feeling is inexplicable once a teacher has received a simple handwritten card from her pupil. I couldn't forget this moment. In my possession right now, I have still the handwritten personal messages of my grade 5 and 6 pupils in La Carlota City Elementary School 1 sometime in 1991. I have kept them safe in my box at home.

These pupils are already have their own job, have their children to raise. They have their own family to take care of but yet they never miss to remember me. Even in the Facebook, they are still communicating with me.

The card above, which is given by one of our pupils in Balabag Elementary  School of La Carlota that I have had received 3 years ago has been kept by myself. This would serve a remembrance from that school. The last school I have by the time I retire from the service last october 14, 2016.

The card that we receive as the teacher and as the principal of the pupils reflects our diligence, dedication and invaluable service in molding them to be a useful, gainful member of his family, and a law-abiding citizen of the country.

My appreciation is due to all the parents, the pupils and to our supportive Punong Barangay Joel E, Rumbines, and our benevolent stakeholder, City Councilor David T. Baga, Jr. I know I am missing them for I am already retired .

October 5, the World Teachers'  Day has kept us reminding the mission and the commitment we have had as teachers being the moulders of the children especially the youths.

We know teaching is no greater call as exemplified by Jesus Christ.
