FIELD STUDY 2 - DAY 15: "Farewell! God knows when we shall meet again." -William Shakespeare

Hello, Diurna! 

     Today is our last day for FS-2. Goodbyes are open possibilities for a new door to open. However, these lovely students will be missed, for sure. Their "Good morning, ma'am Sherry. Bless ko ma'am" "Hi ma'am, Sherry!" "Gwapa ma'am Sherry oy!" "Thank you, ma'am!", and a lot more words from them. Even how noisy they were, students will always have impact to a Student-Trainee like me even for a short while. 

     I woke up early today with a happy and sad feeling. Happy because at least I have finished my 15 days duty, sad because I will be leaving these students...for now. I know this will not be the last because internship is wavingggg. I just hope that I can be able to see them again in my internship which is next year. And hopefully ma'am Bigcas will also be my CT. I arrived in school and saw the students cleaning their yard and facade. And as expected, they ran to me saying their "happy good morning" and cutie smiles. These will be missed. I thanked God for He let me experienced this part of being a Student-trainee. So much realizations I have for this FS.
     Later on, ma'am started her time with a prayer, followed by checking of attendance, and class monitoring. Then, she reminded the students about their activity today in line with the Reading Month, they had an activity for Word Search. They were told that first to finish will be the 1st spot, this will test their reading, their eyesight, and their understanding of the letters in forming a certain word. They started answering and few of them were competitive and eager to finish first, one way to challenge the students. Before their first period will end, I asked ma'am if I can have pictures with them for remembrance and Ma'am permitted me to. 

     After the picture taking, few of them asked, "Last na nimo ron, ma'am?" "Wala naka ugma ma'am?" with their side eyes and tone. Hays these students made my day so heavy to carry. However, I appreciate them for asking that.
     This goes same with section Catleya, wherein I also asked their time to have a picture with me so I can remember and put it in my blog for today. Also, they asked me why did I take a picture with them so I answered, "Because today is my last of duty for our FS and I want to have a remembrance of you." And they also bid there thank you to me for handling them for days, they really know how to appreciate and give thanks even they are sometimes hardheaded and can cause headache. 

     Especially the student who was said to be "physically present, but mentally absent" because he is not always participating in any activity of the class. But one time I handled them and gave them an activity and he participated. And asked me today, "Last na diay nimo, ma'am? Dili na ka mo balik tudlo sa amo?" Those were the lines from him with a sad look and tone as I've remember. So I responded, "Yes, gang. Pag binuotan na baya ha and pag participate na para di na maguol sila ma'am nimo ug imo parents." And he replied, "Yes, ma'am." Hopefully he will do what he promised.
     After that, we went to section Begonia. And we took a picture also after they are done doing their activity. Yesterday I told them that this will be my last day duty so they were informed and asked me to have pictures with them for remembrance. These students are very close to me also because they were so jolly, friendly and attentive during our discussion and activities. All of them bid their thank yous and goodbyes to me. They are so cute and lovely.
     This goes same with section Daffodil, they are the first section which I formally introduced myself from day one, I was able to be closed to them also as I was starting my first day. Hopefully they will still remember me and my lessons I gave them. I took a picture with them also for remembrance, and most of them asked why did I take a picture. Then, I told them that this is my last duty for our FS-2... hopefully we will see each other in my internship. They may be hardheaded and noisy but they know how to respect and listen to me as I speak.
     Thank God I was able to experience these all. And I thanked my CT, Mrs. Elda J. Bigcas for her guidance, trust, and experience she gave me for my FS-2 journey. All of the things I've done is helpful and useful for my future endeavors. Indeed, teachers' life is hard, not easy, but definitely not boring at all because of these diverse students. We must just know how to handle and trained to be strategic in giving lessons and for them to learn effectively.

     I am just praying that they have gain learning from me throughout my days in handling them. Nonetheless, I did my best and my all to put everything in my discussion for them to comprehend and get the lesson. Which something to be proud of. And to you, Diurna and to someone who is reading my experiences until this very part thank you for your patience and time. 

Until the internship days started! See you!
