Time check: 11:51 in the evening, and I'm still wide awake! There's a big event tomorrow at our school, and I’ve been tasked with spearheading it. I hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow. Goodnight, and may God bless us all!

@Athaliah

What a rainy morning! I really like this weather. I just want to sip a cup of coffee and listen to the sound of rain on the ceiling. How wonderful, isn't it? Are you with me too? Anyway, I need to finish something today, so see ya. Have a great day!

@Athaliah

What a great Saturday! I've been feeling down lately, but today I spent a lot—paying bills, groceries, and my sister's allowance. Still, the money I've worked so hard for was spent wisely, and it's enough to satisfy me. Have a great day!

@Athaliah

Hey there, guys! I just got done with my class, but as much as I thought I wouldn't bring any work from school, here I am, alone in my classroom, doing paperwork and arranging multiple schedules for different events. Hays! I don't have anyone to pat my back right now, and I think I need to face this reality. Haha! Anyway, I need to continue so I can go home early. Sayonara!

@Athaliah

Ending this day feeling productive and burden-free. Finally finished working overtime. I can finally sleep soundly. I need to hit the sack to regain my strength and use it again tomorrow. Goodnight, everyone. May you all have a great sleep.

@Athaliah

Great morning, everyone, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed today, like a busy beaver! There are so many activities happening in our school, and I’m not sure how to handle them all at once. I’ve been assigned to multiple events, and I’m the spearhead for each of them. The dates are piling up, and I’m finding it challenging to prepare everything in time. I just hope I can manage to get it all done with the little time I have. Wishing you all a great day!

@Athaliah

Monday sickness! I actually hate Mondays,they’re the most tiring day of the week. The weekend just feels like a snap, and I barely get to enjoy my break huhu. Anyway, I try to make every day productive and focus on staying happy while doing my work. That’s how I overcome this feeling by facing it head-on. I hope you do the same. Have a great day ahead!

@Athaliah

Great and blessed morning! How was your day? I wasn't able to attend church today because I just had my period and have dysmenorrhea. Back when I was a teenager, even though I experienced dysmenorrhea, I still went to church and endured the pain because I believed that God would heal me. But now, I no longer have that mindset, and I’m quite disappointed in myself because this feels like a mere excuse. However, I know that God is everywhere, so I decided to worship Him at home instead. Have a great day!

@Athaliah

Good evening, read.cash buddies! I'm feeling quite lonely and stuck tonight. I’ve been deep in thought about my future. I still feel lost about what to do next after leaving my current job. There’s so much left to do, so many challenges to face, and many sacrifices to make. May God direct my paths. He knows what to do in situations like this. Goodnight. 🙂

@Athaliah

Hello, good afternoon read.cash friends! How's everyone? There was a brownout earlier, and I forgot to charge, but now I'm back online. I really like the weather today, it's a nice mix of windy and sunny, just the perfect combination of warmth and breeze. Ideal for doing laundry, haha! By the way, I just finished washing clothes and took a shower. Hope you're all having a wonderful day!

@Athaliah

Thank God it's Friday! I'm going to see my family soon. I missed them so much. Just so you know, my workplace is far from my hometown because I work and stay here. Finally, I can see them again. I’d like to buy them pasalubong later hehe. Have a great day ahead!

@Athaliah

Good evening read.cash buddies! One of my students messaged me earlier asking if he is still part of the honors list. Unfortunately, he is no longer on it, and I'm struggling with how to reply in a way that won't upset him. That's why I tried to comfort him after letting him know that he is no longer part of it.

@Athaliah

Hola, guys! How are you? I just want to share something. This is my last year teaching at the private school where I’m currently employed. A lot of students have messaged me privately, asking if I’m really leaving. It broke my heart, and all I can do now is cherish every moment while I’m still here.

@Athaliah

Hey guys! I’m watching a public speaking contest, and these kids are incredibly talented! If only I could send you a picture or video of their performances you’d feel the same amazement I do right now!

@Athaliah

Meet my White Furry Friend! Great and blessed afternoon, my dear read.cash buddies! How are you all doing? I hope this day finds you well. I’m having a wonderful day today, feeling productive even though it’s technically a day off. It’s such a satisfying feeling to finish all your tasks early, leaving time to just sit back, relax, and enjoy the quiet moments. Phew! Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, let me introduce you to someone very special in my life – my white, furry buddy, Sky! Sky is my adorable, grumpy, fluffy, naughty, and playful companion. He’s a Khao Manee cat, gifted to me by my dad, and let me tell you, he has been a delightful addition to our family. Sky’s unique personality makes him even more endearing. He’s not just a pet, he’s a little character with his own quirks. He loves his meals – especially his favorite treats – and once his belly is full, he enjoys curling up for a nap in the most amusing positions. His grumpiness adds to his charm, and we can’t help but laugh when he acts like a little diva. One thing about Sky is that he’s totally spoiled, and not just by me! My mom adores him so much that she buys him all sorts of cat treats and toys. It’s hard to say no to his adorable face, even when he’s being a little mischievous. His soft, white fur feels like a plush carpet, and I often find myself running my hands through it or cuddling him just to feel that comforting texture. His chubby cheeks are my favorite, I can’t resist pinching them lightly while he gives me his signature “grumpy” look. Sky’s antics and cuteness bring so much joy to our home, but he’s more than just a source of entertainment. He’s been a true blessing to our family, especially to my mom. My mom went through a tough time dealing with anxiety and depression, and Sky has been a big part of her recovery. His presence has brought her comfort and a sense of purpose, giving her a reason to smile every day. There’s something about having a furry friend that makes life feel a little brighter and more manageable. Sky’s favorite pastime, aside from napping, is being babied. He loves being pampered and cuddled, and honestly, I enjoy it just as much as he does. Watching him sleep is one of the cutest things ever his poses are so funny and adorable that I often can’t resist taking pictures. There’s a certain warmth in seeing him so peaceful, and it reminds me of how much love and happiness he has brought into our lives. I hope Sky’s story and his cuteness have brightened your day as much as he brightens ours. Do you have a cat or any furry companions at home? I’d love to hear about them! Let’s share some heartwarming pet stories and celebrate the joy they bring into our lives. Have a fantastic day ahead, everyone!

A New Chapter: Getting Married Soon! Hey there! I missed this online community so much! It’s been three years since I joined this platform, and I must say, Read.cash was my silver lining during the pandemic. Now, my passion for writing has returned, and it’s driving me in the best possible way to open up and share my thoughts as I live each day. There’s so much I want to say, but let’s cut to the chase. As you’ve already read in the title of my article, I’m really getting married! This isn’t a blog bait or a gimmick; it’s truly happening, and it’s happening soon. My partner and I share the same mindset about this decision, and I feel emotionally ready for this new chapter of our lives. We decided to prioritize building our home before planning the wedding. As of January 5, our house is officially done! My soon-to-be husband has been incredibly supportive and excited about this journey. We planned it all of a sudden because we wanted to live independently. We didn’t want to share the same roof with either of our parents not because we don’t love them, but because we wanted to give them their space and avoid disrupting their daily lives. Thankfully, we were able to save enough, and now the house is finally complete. I’m deeply grateful to our ever-supportive and loving parents for their contributions to building our home. Having them in our lives is truly a blessing. As of now, I’m feeling a little stuck because I don’t know where to begin or what to prepare for the wedding day. We’re planning to get married in September, but I still have no idea what to do. If you have any suggestions, please comment below—I would really appreciate your help! Thank you, and God bless us all! By the way, it feels so good to be back in this blogging community. I wonder where my Read.cash buddies are now? If you come across this article, please say hi! Since I’m back, I’ll try my best to write as many articles as I can. Hehe. See you around!

Teaching, Bonding, and Embracing Adventures: Reflections on a Memorable Journey Hello everyone, it's been quite some time since I last published an article here. The past weeks have been as busy as a beaver as we prepared for the opening of classes and the familiar cycle of being a teacher started to roll again. Nevertheless, amidst the hustle and bustle, I can't help but feel excited to meet my new students. Reflecting on the past, I am also filled with pride and happiness for having survived my first year in teaching. It was indeed a challenging but rewarding experience, and I'm eager to embark on this new school year with enthusiasm and determination. Speaking of memorable experiences, two weeks ago, we embarked on a trip to Baganga, Davao Oriental, to bond with our co-educators who will be concluding their contracts this year. We wanted to make the most of their last days with us, creating lasting memories together. It was heartwarming to connect with them in such a short time, and I know I'll miss their presence and camaraderie in the institution. The entire journey of our outing was both tiring and enjoyable. While the beach resort we stayed in may not have been as wonderful as expected, the joy of being with our co-educators overshadowed any shortcomings. We filled our days with laughter, shared stories, and enjoyed our favorite foods together. The unpredictable weather did not deter us from taking a refreshing dip in the beach. Miraculously, none of us fell sick, and we safely returned home with unforgettable memories etched in our hearts. As we look ahead, we have another exciting trip planned to Davao del Sur. This time, we'll be exploring the beauty of nature as we venture into hiking and swimming at one of the famous falls and rivers located in Matanao. Anticipation fills our hearts as we hope our plans will materialize, promising more moments of joy and bonding with our colleagues. In conclusion, thank you for taking the time to read about my recent experiences. The journey of teaching and connecting with others has been truly enriching, and I'm grateful for the memories created along the way. As we move forward, let's embrace the adventures that await us and make the most of every opportunity. Wishing you all a fantastic week ahead, filled with happiness and meaningful connections.

My Lil Sister's Graduation Celebration Good evening, everyone! I hope you had a pleasant weekend. Mine was both relaxing and busy-free. I took the opportunity to catch up on sleep, indulge in good food, and even went on a short trip. However, I can't help but feel a tinge of disappointment in myself because I wasn't able to attend my little sister's graduation. I was swamped with work, but as soon as my duty was over, I rushed home to celebrate this significant milestone with her. Even though I may not be the perfect big sister, I couldn't be prouder of everything she has accomplished. Upon arriving home, I immediately jumped in to help my parents prepare my sister's favorite dishes. To make her day even more special, I surprised her with ice cream and donuts. I had promised to treat her to McDonald's since she absolutely loves it, but due to the abundance of food that night, I decided to postpone it until the next day. Thankfully, she was thrilled with the gesture. I'm incredibly proud to share that she graduated with high honors. This recognition is truly well-deserved as she has always been an independent student. I constantly encouraged her to study hard and foster independence. While she occasionally sought my assistance with her assignments, I firmly believe that it is important for her to learn and work on her own. There is a greater sense of fulfillment when achievements and awards are earned through personal effort, without relying too heavily on others. And she did it! Now, she's about to embark on her college journey later this year, and I have every confidence that she will thrive in this new chapter of her life. Goodnight and God bless us all!

Self-care for Health & Happiness Good morning to each and every one of you! As I take in the beauty of this bright morning, I can't help but feel a sense of tranquility and contentment. Last night, I made a conscious decision to prioritize my well-being by refraining from using my phone and embracing an early bedtime. This small act of self-care has had a profound impact on the quality of my sleep and overall health. I've come to recognize that stress can be a major factor in exacerbating my illness, so I'm taking proactive steps to minimize its influence. In a world filled with constant demands and expectations, it's easy to lose sight of our own happiness. However, I've recently had an awakening and realized that my ultimate priority should be caring for myself and tending to my own needs. I've grown tired of trying to please everyone else at the expense of my own well-being. I've come to understand that I have a unique purpose in life, and it's essential for me to focus on fulfilling that purpose rather than constantly seeking external validation. While I understand that this shift in mindset may not be easy to implement consistently, I'm determined to stay committed to this path. I know there will be times when I stumble or face setbacks, but I refuse to let them deter me from my journey towards self-fulfillment and happiness. Even if others bring me down or express dissatisfaction with my choices, I firmly believe that my actions should align with what brings glory to God and brings me true inner peace. So, as I embark on this transformative journey, I extend my hopes and prayers to each and every one of you. May you too find the strength and courage to embrace self-care and prioritize your own well-being. May your days be filled with productivity, joy, and blessings. Remember, you are worthy of a life filled with happiness and fulfillment. God bless you abundantly on your path of self-discovery and growth.

Never Enough A melancholic yet introspective morning! I had intended to sleep early last night, but my restless thoughts refuse to grant me rest. It pains me to accept that despite my earnest efforts, there are times when certain individuals fail to recognize or appreciate them. It feels as though my endeavors are in vain. In this moment, I find myself without anyone to confide in, so I have turned to writing as an outlet for my emotions. I welcome any advice or words of motivation and inspiration that you may offer. I feel a great deal of frustration within myself because I struggle to consistently live up to the "do your best" mantra in all aspects of my life. I cannot comprehend why my best efforts often go unnoticed. It seems that what I have done is never enough. Although I strive to improve and exceed expectations, numerous obstacles arise that threaten to hinder my progress. Perhaps I am merely seeking attention. In truth, all I desire is for someone to acknowledge the hard work I put into everything I do. It is incredibly fulfilling when someone recognizes and appreciates my efforts; it fuels my determination to continue striving for excellence. Yet, even then, it feels insufficient. I constantly remind myself not to give up and continuously brainstorm different approaches to achieve my goals. However, there is a nagging voice within me that consistently disappoints. It seems that I am in conflict with myself, unsure of what I truly want. I do not wish to convey an image of superiority over others, and I fear the judgment of those around me. Words have the power to either uplift or shatter us, and they are my ultimate weakness. Physical pain can heal, but wounds inflicted by hurtful words seem to linger indefinitely without any remedy. I hope you can empathize with the depth of my emotions. Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts.

This or That: Food Edition Hey there! The weekend is almost over, and it's back to work tomorrow. Adulting can be tiring, but we don't have a choice. We need to work to meet our needs. Well, that's life. Anyway, I wanted to participate This of that challenge from one of the coolest author here on read.cash Sir @Coolmidwestguy@Coolmidwestguy. It's been a while since I joined this kind of prompt, so I thought I'd give it a try. Why not, right? **Chicken or Turkey?** I'll go with chicken because I haven't actually tasted turkey yet. Chicken is my all-time favorite, and I can cook a variety of dishes with it. Some of my favorites include Afritada, Adobo, chicken kare-kare, and fried chicken. You can look them up on Google. They are famous here in the Philippines. **Onion Rings or French Fries?** Whoa! Can I choose both? I love both onion rings and French fries. They are my go-to snacks when I'm in the mood for junk food. However, it depends on their availability. If there are no onion rings, then I'll go with French fries. **Smoothie, Malt, or Shake?** Oh my! I absolutely love smoothies, especially the healthy ones. I enjoy blending vegetables and fruits into nutritious and delicious smoothies. **Jello or Pudding?** That's a tricky question. Are they similar or not? Either way, I would love to try pudding. I'll keep an eye out for it the next time I'm at the grocery store. There you have it! You may join as well. Have a great and blessed week ahead! 💚

Dream Renovation: Achieving the Unexpected What a gloomy morning to everyone! Personally, I find this kind of morning quite enjoyable, although I must admit, I wouldn't mind a bit of rain. But let's set that aside for now. I wanted to share one of the most significant milestones in my life. It has always been my dream to renovate our house and have a room of my own. Last week, that dream became a reality, and now I am thoroughly enjoying my mini house with a terrace built above our existing structure. At one point, I doubted whether this dream would ever come true, as I simply didn't have the time to plan and execute such a project. However, I didn't want to waste any more time, especially since we made the decision to take care of our grandmother and welcome her into our home. In light of this, I selflessly decided to give up my own room for her, which was the main reason why I wanted to build a separate space for myself. Now, I am incredibly happy to see it all come together, even though it's just a small room with an adjoining terrace. Regardless of the size of our accomplishments, I believe it's important to celebrate both big and small wins. There is a profound sense of fulfillment that comes from achieving something unexpected. I hope that by sharing my story, I can inspire others to believe that nothing is impossible when you set your mind to it. Of course, it's crucial to express gratitude to God for everything He provides, as He is the ultimate source of our achievements. Without Him, we wouldn't be able to accomplish anything. So, let's raise a toast to our victories, no matter how big or small, and remember that with determination and faith, we can overcome any obstacle that comes our way.

Captivating Mati: A Memorable Journey Filled with Generosity and Adventure What a chilly evening to everyone! Thank goodness it's Friday! How was your week? Did you accomplish anything great? Regardless, this week was truly enjoyable and one of the most memorable for me. Just to fill you in, I had the opportunity to visit Mati City, Davao Oriental, Philippines which is known for its captivating tourist destinations that attract adventurers and tourists alike. We stayed at the Blue Bless Resort for two days and one night. We also visited the Subangan Museum, saw the sleeping dinosaur, and explored the famous Mati Bay. It was an exhausting yet incredibly fun adventure for all of us. Did you know that our school administrator made this outing possible? It was a way for her to show appreciation for our hard work and dedication as teachers throughout the school year. We didn't have to spend any money during the outing, and to add to our excitement, her husband even gave each of us 1000 pesos as an allowance. They are truly generous and kind-hearted. Needless to say, we had an amazing time. I'm hoping we can have another trip together with them because being in their company is always filled with joy and excitement. Here's to more adventures in the future! Cheers! Have a great weekend!

Memories and Farewells: A Bittersweet Recognition Day Journey Happy weekend, readfam! I started my day with a smile because we finally concluded our recognition day ceremony held on June 19th, 20th, and 21st of this year, 2023. We put a lot of effort into organizing the event and although it wasn't perfect, we were able to achieve a successful three-day celebration. During the ceremony, I had to bid farewell to my beloved grade 4 advisory class as they move on to grade 5. As I delivered my farewell speech, emotions overwhelmed me, and tears started flowing when I uttered the word "goodbye." Seeing the sad expressions on my students' faces broke my heart, and it reminded me of all the cherished memories and fun experiences we shared together. I care for them deeply, which is why I prepared a video presentation for them to reminisce about the special moments and celebrations we had. I always made sure to capture photographs to preserve these precious memories. Even the parents of my students shed tears as I became emotional. Their appreciation for my dedication in teaching and loving their children as if they were my own meant the world to me. These kids have been a blessing in disguise, and I will never forget the radiant smiles that brightened my day no matter how tired I felt. I hope our bond remains strong, and I pray that these children grow to fulfill their potential according to God's plan. While they may forget everything I taught them, I hope they will always remember the life lessons I instilled in their minds. When I entered our classroom, a sense of loneliness washed over me, and I felt the urge to cry once again, but I reminded myself that it was time for them to progress, even if it meant leaving me behind—just kidding. On the bright side, only a few of them will be transferring schools, and I'll still have the privilege of being their Science teacher in Grade 5. My students gave me special gifts, and unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of them since I went home directly after the event. There you have it! Thank you for joining me on this journey. Wishing you all a bright and joyful weekend!

Sweet Surprise from My Love Happy weekend, everyone! It has been a stressful couple of weeks for me, but I'm grateful to say that I've managed to get through it with a positive mindset. I'd like to share a special moment in my life when I received a sweet surprise from someone I love. Now, I might joke that I'm pretty and deserving of such treats, but please don't judge me too harshly - it's all in good fun! This was actually the first time I received such a tangible surprise from my partner, and it was an overwhelming experience that brought tears to my eyes. My partner isn't typically one to express their love through material gifts. They prefer to show their affection through actions rather than words. They're not into the typical cheesy gestures that many couples engage in, and I completely understand and appreciate that about them. While they occasionally give me gifts on special occasions like birthdays and Christmas, I've never received anything from them on Valentine's Day. However, I'm still thankful because they treat me like a queen every single day. They might not be the sweetest person, but they are genuinely kind, true, and loving - qualities that make them the most amazing person I've ever met. Now, here's the plot twist: The bouquet of chocolates that I'm holding in the picture is not actually mine. It's a prank! I just asked my co-teacher (the luckiest girl)to let me take a picture of it hehe. But let me assure you, everything I wrote about my partner is absolutely true. Take care, everyone, and have a great day!

A Letter of Longing: A Teacher's Impact Amidst Family Turmoil Hey, my read.cash family! Just got home from work, and boy, I am so tired! Just kidding. But I wanted to share something with you all. Earlier, I had the pleasure of meeting one of my student's mothers, and we had such a fun talk. It felt like chatting with a close friend. Anyway, our conversation reminded me of a letter I received from my student during Mother's Day. It made me feel a bit sad because it seems like the child who wrote it is going through a tough time with a broken family. She revealed that the her mom is having an affair with someone the child dislikes. Despite all that, I always remind the student to still love, respect, and treat her mom as her mother, because without her, she wouldn't exist. Reading that letter left me at a loss for words. I didn't know how to react. But I'm grateful that despite everything, the student sees me as more than a teacher—a mother figure. It saddened me because I don't want her to feel that way. I don't want to replace her relationship with her biological mom. However, it's heartwarming to know that she feels that connection with me. I love my students and treat them like my own, but I would never try to take them away from their real moms. I hope that children who are experiencing the challenges of growing up in broken families, caused by issues like love affairs, will maintain their respect for their parents. I pray that these children will not be led astray and choose a negative path due to the circumstances they face. It is my sincere hope that educators, like myself, can step in as their second parents, offering guidance, love, care, and teaching them valuable lessons that will lead them towards success, preventing them from engaging in rebellious behavior. Let us embrace these children as if they were our own and provide the support they need. Athaliah 💚

You might hate me after reading this... Hello, my ReadCash family. I've been extremely busy lately, and even weekends refuse to let me take a break. It's been quite exhausting, but that's just the reality of being a working adult. I feel like I have no choice in the matter. Yesterday, as I was about to close my Facebook app, I stumbled upon a life update post from one of my closest friends from high school. It brought back a flood of nostalgic memories for no apparent reason. I recalled my past self, a timid, simple, and cheerful individual. I didn't care about judgment or pressure. If I failed at something, I would dust myself off, disregarding the consequences, and just smile as if nothing happened. I wasn't afraid of what the future held or worried about tomorrow. I simply lived life to the fullest. Back then, I didn't concern myself with the flaws of others or my own. Who was I to judge? I genuinely liked the person I was. However, as I transitioned into adulthood, everything around me became clearer. A simple mistake turned into a big deal, and even the smallest mess became a major issue. I started belittling and judging myself and others, fully aware that it wasn't right. I despise this feeling because it doesn't align with who I truly am. What's worse is that I no longer find joy in others' successes or offer them support. Instead, I compare myself to them and try to outshine or surpass them. I'm done with this. I no longer want to feel this way. Why can't I be genuinely happy for others instead of being consumed by jealousy or envy when they succeed? To improve my behavior, I've taken the initiative to watch videos that promote self-love, positivity, and provide guidance on dealing with negative emotions. However, I have discovered that implementing these teachings in real life is more challenging than I initially anticipated, and I sometimes feel that it is a waste of time. In short, I was looking forward to the changes I might encounter in life, but I ended up changing more than I expected. I despise the person I've become. Athaliah💚

Science Product Innovation 2023 Hello, ReadChamps! It's been a busy week for me, with multiple programs and activities to handle here at our school. Today marks the first day of our Science Production Innovation Presentation, featuring students from Grade 4 to Grade 10. This is one of the biggest events in our school, and we have been preparing for it for the past two months. The students are understandably excited and nervous at the same time, as they have been tasked with innovating an existing product. The learners were given a month to prepare their written proposals, PowerPoint presentations, and blueprints for their proposed products. Initially, some of them hesitated, especially the grade schoolers who felt that they lacked the necessary knowledge and skills to create documents and presentations. Moreover, they were stressed about presenting in front of the teachers, parents, and students from other grade levels. To ease their anxiety, we gave them a whole week to prepare and finalize everything before the scheduled presentation. Fortunately, they were able to deliver their presentations with great success, and their hard work paid off. Furthermore, we are still in awe of our learners' wide imagination and creativity, as evidenced by the outstanding and amazing products they have innovated. Their inventions all had a major goal, which is to protect and save Mother Earth. We saw solar cars, stoves, cellphones, trash bins that convert biodegradable waste to fertilizer within 10 minutes, baby carriers with special features, water-powered electricity generators, trash-collecting boats, self-cleaning UV light water bottles, and many more. It is clear to us that the world needs more innovative kids like them to help solve our most pressing environmental problems. As the spearhead of this event, it gives me great pleasure to witness such incredible presentations that have given us a lot of realizations and ideas on how the world will be in the coming years if the innovations of these kids are accepted in the near future. I am immensely proud of them!

A day to remember I was overjoyed to finally have a chance to rest and spend quality time with my family, as I had five days off from work. Yesterday, we spontaneously decided to visit one of the most beautiful mountain resorts in our municipality. I asked my mom if she wanted to go somewhere and suggested buying some food from the market. We set off on our adventure, feeling excited about the possibility of exploring a new place. The drive to the mountain resort took almost an hour, but the scenery along the way was breathtaking. We stopped by the market to pick up some goodies and continued on our way. When we finally arrived at the resort, we were all awestruck by the stunning view. My family spent the afternoon playing, taking pictures, chatting, and enjoying some delicious food. The children were particularly excited, and seeing their happiness made the experience even more memorable. It was a day full of laughter and happiness. Overall, it was an unforgettable day spent with my loved ones. I'm grateful for the opportunity to create memories that will last a lifetime. I hope we will able to create many more wonderful memories together in the future! Thanks for dropping by! Sayonara! All images are mine

I'm a mother of 24 children Hey there, buddies! How was your day? Still alive and kicking? My job has become the center of my life, and I'm constantly busy trying to complete tasks and meet deadlines. I prioritize work over leisure activities and make sure everything is done before indulging in any pleasurable activities." Although I initially believed that the primary goal of every teacher is to enlighten the minds of their students and eradicate ignorance, my experience as a private school teacher for the past eight months has proven me wrong. Despite this, I must admit that I have thoroughly enjoyed this job and have been grateful for the many unforeseen experiences it has brought me. I have met numerous individuals who have shown me genuine kindness and thoughtfulness, and I have developed a strong affection for my students, treating them as if they were my own. They have made me feel just as significant as their biological parents, and their love and appreciation have been expressed through hugs, heartfelt messages, and even tangible gifts. Looking at their smiles made me realize that I have fulfilled my duty as a teacher. Their smiles are the main indicators that they are having fun while learning, and that is already a great milestone for me. As the class advisor of Grade 4 A and B, I have found my worth. These 24 kids whom I treated like my own children have changed me. They have given me enough motivation and energy to work, even though my body may not always cooperate. They even call me "Mama," and it touches me deeply. It is like music to my ears. Every day, I feel their excitement to see me, and I'm just as thrilled to see them. When they run towards me, hug me, and excitedly shout, "Mama Erika!" it's an instant mood booster. I love these kids so much, and I'm grateful that their parents allow me to love and teach them about life. Although they are still young, they've planned surprises for me and showered me with overwhelming messages of affection. I'm so moved that it brings tears of joy to my heart. Despite being speechless, they thought I didn't like it, but in reality, I'm overjoyed beyond words. These kids mean the world to me, and even though I am no longer their class advisor this year, they made my first year in teaching a memorable and worthwhile one. I'm grateful to them, and I hope and pray that they grow into the individuals that God intends them to be. Even if they may forget me in the future, they will always hold a special place in my heart. There you have it, thank you so much for dropping by! I hope and pray that you will have a blessed and great day ahead! All images are mine❤️
