Weekly Journal #9
October 6-10, 2014 

Accomplishments:

                The past week has been a very busy week for me. I had been catching up with my lessons and I also experienced straight teaching. Since we only have limited days to complete thirty lesson plans, I have to double my effort in doing lesson plans and executing them in the class.

My Significant Experience:

           Last Friday, My cooperating teacher told me to rest first since it was their compilation day of all the outputs that they had during the second quarter. So she took over the four classes while I was busy checking the papers of students. I did not notice that I slept over the papers that I was checking when suddenly, my students from the class the class that I am handling came and they were asking me if I am done checking their papers so they can include it in their compilations. Then one of my students who came started to cry. I was asking her the reason why she was crying and she asked me why I have to leave City High. Why can’t I just stay there and teach them until the end of school year. I was not able to say a word. I just smiled at her though deep inside of me, it seems like that I want to join her cry too. Well I told her that I have to leave because it’s a requirement for us to teach in the private school. Despite the sorrow that I had in this experience, it inspired to keep on doing my best; to keep on touching lives. I’m taking every moment to teach them to the best that I can because I know that the time will come that I have to leave them and go to a different environment.

Insight:

           “You will only know and cherish the importance of something or some once that it is gone.”

Problems:

The problem that I’m facing at the moment is that I lack time in completing the 30 lesson plans. I only have 24, and I hope that I can complete that at the said deadline.

Solutions:

           I’m praying earnestly that they would move the break of the students so that we could have more rated lesson plans.

Goals for Next Week:

        My goal for this week is to complete the 30 rated lesson plans and go beyond the 30 lesson plans.
