Teaching is not an easy job. But I love doing it with the kids
When my senior high school adviser asked us to make a research on the course or profession that we like to take up in college, I thought of getting medicine for I wanted to be a dermatologist. But after researching, I changed my planned profession, from dermatologist to pediatrician! Why pediatrician? because I love to be with the kids, as simple as that. So, I took up an entrance exam at one of the colleges in our place but after the exam, I changed my mind again…I hate hospitals and if I’ll pursue my medicine courses..hospital will be my home. Just a few days of realizing those thoughts I found myself having interest to get an Education course for the preschoolers. I enrolled with that course and I am really happy about it. I spent my college years with a lot of insights, learning and experiences that shaped me to be a preschool teacher to the kids that I handled. With my teaching experiences with the kids, I gained a lot of realization and insights.
During the first few months of my teaching, I got lots of heartaches and headaches! My kids were really challenging me to the fullest. I am handling different kids with different personalities and I have to attend and deal all of them. They pushed me to the limits and I thought of giving up. Aside from the personalities that I dealt with, I also have lots of paper thingies at work that need to be passed on time. I am losing all my energy those times but I have to finish what I’ve started.
But as the tiring months passed by, I observed that my kids started to change. They no longer to be my headache and heartache of the day. They brought joy and laughter to me and I was looking forward to see them everyday. Kisses and hugs were spreading inside my kingdom. I ran and play with them during our Free Time. All of my students love to dance for we almost do it everyday in the class.
When the school ends, I was preparing myself for a great vacation so I can relax. But then, I just realized that I am starting to miss my kids so much! I want to hug them badly…ahahay…Soon, they will leave the Play World and they will be ready to face the challenges of the Big School. Hay, I hope they can still remember me because they left a smile mark on my heart! I miss them so much…
Now, I need to face reality. I will soon have my own family and I also have dreams that I want to fulfill. I will be missing a lot of things, people and experiences with my decisions. This will make me sad too. Hay, do you think it’s okay to leave the school for me to search for a brighter future? or to stay at school and enjoy being with the kids. Hay, I already have a decision but I am just sad that I will no longer be with my students when they enjoy another level in their Play World.
I love my kids so much….
