Teacher's Prayer

I want to share my own prayer as a teacher. I made this when I was in fourth year college, second semester and taking up my practice teaching in San Ildefonso Elementary School (North) at San Ildefonso, Bulacan. I put this in my portfolio that I passed before the semester ends. And the prayer goes like this:


Lord Jesus, I want to teach my pupils how to live this life on Earth. To face its struggles and its strife to prove their worth.

Help me to awaken the natural curiosity of young minds then satisfy it afterwards. Help me also to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge. Help me always to remember that I am making marks that would affect eternity.

Give me patience for those who are slow to learn and for those who refuse to learn. Bless me Lord, to learn to understand, accept and shower my pupils with love for they come to different families with different stories.

When I have to discipline them, help me to do that with fairness and love. Help me always to encourage them to do their best and make it better especially to those who lack courage and confidence.

I know that it is the start of leading the pupils and nation's future. For if I help the world to grow in wisdom and in grace, and then I shall feel that I have won and I have filled my place...

and so I ask your guidance God that I may do my part ... for character and confidence and happiness of heart.    
  
Amen.

That's the class I was assigned to teach during my student teacher's days, the Grade VI - T.Tecson '09. I miss you all! Sana makita ko ulit ang ilan sa inyo hindi picture sa fb.

My very first blog entry

Finally, I've made time to start my very first blog entry and let my ink run through my veins and let it drop to the net. Oh yeah! An accomplishment! (hahaha... babaw!) I am calling the attention of my co-campus journalists... pipz, kindly critic my work and I'll be glad to know your comments (haha... kinakalawang na kasi ako).
