When I was a teenager I don't like to become a teacher because I think it's hard and I am afraid of standing in front of many people watching me, I don't have confidence in myself until now.
One of my relatives offers a full scholarship in one School he manages but I need to take an Education course. I refused him because being a Teacher is not my type. I can't get the scholarship because I am choosing the course. So my parents can't afford the tuition fee of two college students so I need to stop and wait for 2 years until my sister graduated.
One day, when my mother enrolled my sister in a school I come along with my mother and we accidentally met one of my father's relatives he is a member of the clan they made as they look for scholarships. They get scholars in their relatives only so that no one of their relatives will be left behind.
After I appeared in the clan meeting they accept me as a scholar. I took a BS in Business Administration major in Human Resource Development Management. I am so happy because the dream come true that I did not stop. After all, I am a full scholar including the graduation fee. I am joining my sister in her boarding house we went home every Saturday afternoon because our class hour in that school was every night.
I am so happy with my course but I never expect for a long time that happens like this pandemic. That we are teaching our children in their module, and it's true it's so hard to become a teacher most especially when the module is so hard to analyze and answer. I have a lot of hard times and sometimes I am so tired from my work and household chores so that I can't teach well my Son for his module.
Our hard times is teaching him writing in the right direction or a right stroke of the letters. He will cry if I will teach him about the connecting letters because he kept telling me it's so hard and he can't do that.
This is his handwriting it is not perfect but trying his very best to finish it. There are tears and sadness while doing this because he doesn't like to do it but he doesn't have any choice. I need to focus him on teaching because the higher grade he has the hardest module will come. It's so hard to become a teacher even in one student, how much more the teacher to become a mother or teaching 50 children in one classroom. I can't imagine the hardships.
We are answering his module anywhere and everywhere he wants to answer if it is convenient at least it is his will to answer.
If he requested a snack while answering the module I will give it to him. To be honest I made him spoiled every time if we talk about it in the module. Sometimes when we answer the module there is a return or compensation if he will answer and of course, I will say YES. sometimes I forget it but he kept reminding me but praise God he will u understand if I will tell him that I don't have money to buy that thing. He is not so materialistic, when he got older age toys is not important to him I can convince him that much better to think about the food to eat during module time.
Sometimes he requested Ice cream and he will eat it while answering his module.
If we are visiting in the house of her tita we will bring his module too. I am talking to him every time we start to answer his module so that he will not cry and be sincere to answer it. While he is reading his module he keeps asking me. At least it is his will to do it I can't force him.
It's so hard to become a teacher, it's true and this job is not a joke. And some people said that the teacher was an easy job but they were wrong. At this time we experience to become a teacher. We are a teacher in different ways but at this time we are a teacher in our children not in the house but also the School.
It's not good that you are the one answering the module, we need to explain to them. But the hangar is just that because we can't force ourselves to.
Good luck to us parents.!
The module is our new partner in daily tasks.
It not easy teaching kids, especially when they are just beginning to learn how to write letters.
