Teary Afternoon

I don't know what to say when a student came to me and handed a small envelope with her letter on it. I read it in front of her and then I wasn't able to hold my feelings but tears fell down my cheeks and I realized I was crying. I hug her tight and said, 'See you later'. I couldn't handle anymore and I went to the restroom and there I cried. Sobs. ooopss what a teary afternoon.

Counting My Blessings

I have been hearing some people and I cannot help myself to whine with the current changes that has been happening at work. I understand it somehow though we really have to vent out ourselves at times we think it's more than our limits and perceptions of effective management. But despite all these things I think I am so blessed still because not all people can have my job now. Competition is always a part of winning and in every step of the long fight, one has to really prove to be tough to move on no matter what happens. Like me, I have been dreaming of coming here where I could be out of my comfort zones. Now that I am given what I really want in life still I moan knowing that my blessings and suprises far outweights the challenges that come my way. These are in fact a part of the neat package knows as SUCCESS. Eventhough I am not really that prayerful here I can attest that I do pray but not as devout as when I was at the homefront and still blessings are really outpouring. This coming Christmas I am looking forward to my precious gift and I know I'd be facing a great challenge and change in my career as a teacher in the coming months. I hope that these blessings would challenge me even more to prove my worth as a competent and effective teacher. Smiles.
