Unang araw namin ngayon na makilala ang mga estudyante sa paaralan kung saan ako'y nagtuturo. Tatlo ang estudyanteng Pilipino; natutuwa naman ako dahil silang tatlo ay magagaling na mga bata. Yung isa nga sa kanila, napunta sa regular education class (hindi sa ESL class). Ipinakiusap ko pa sa ESL Teacher na tulungan ipasok sa klase nya, dahil marami syang matututunan sa Chinese ESL teacher na ito, "Milken Awardee" na sya at "Advanced" pa ang scores ng mga estudyante nya sa Math.
Matulungin naman sana ang guro; ang problema lang exceeds expectations ang score ng Pilipinong estudyante na ito, at ayon sa assessment ay hindi na raw kailangan ng ESL services. Gustuhin ko man na mapunta sya sa pinakamagaling na guro sa paaralan namin dahil alam ko na mas marami sya doong matututunan, hindi nakayanan ng powers ko. HAY!
Naisip ko na talagang magaling ang Pilipino kumpara sa mga estudyante dito. Naisip ko si KAY, isang magaling na estudyanteng Pilipina. Hulaan nyo kung kaninong anak ito...
AUTOBIO: Hi, I am Czarina Kay. I am 15 years old and in 4th year High School. At present, I am the President of the Student Council and the class president, too. I love writing and I am currently the feature editor of our school paper. Life is a challenge for me!
How would you describe your relationship with your parents? My relationship with my parents is great. We keep each other entertained and when things sometimes go wrong we resolve it right away. Although I wasn't that open to them before, I am now. I keep them updated and nothing beats a healthy communication!
What do you consider are the 3 greatest achievements you've made so far as a student? I've done good in school I guess. As a student, I can say that I've done some things. I'm the president of our student council in highschool and boy, was it rewarding when I won. I'm a top student... and well, I can't quite figure what the third greatest achievement is. I guess it's being able to reach out to other students, hear what they have to say and be friends with them as well.
What 3 things motivate you to draw and create wonderful artworks? My parents motivate me a lot especially when my father shows my drawings around to his friends. When I show my artworks to my friends, their reactions are so flattering. One of my friends even said that she'd cut off my hand and replace hers with it. How I love hearing comments like that. It keeps me going. My Kuya Malay is my mentor and I would love to hear from him again how he would like to see my drawings. I just don't let it get to my head...that's the secret.
Kahit na sabihin natin na marunong ako sa arts, hindi naman ako kasing galing ni KAY. Ano kayang mangyayari kung ilaban natin sa poster making contest si KAY sa mga estudyante dito? Syempre, panalo ang Pinoy! Walang bola...
Naku! Mas maganda pa nga siguro ang schedule ko pag regular classes. At least hindi ako nagmamadali ngayon sa pagsusulat nitong entry ko. Baka mamya makapag blog-hopping na ako.
O nahulaan nyo na ba kung kaninong anak ito? Sirit na? Kay BING , magaling na parent advocate ng Pinoy Teachers Network.
Yeheey!!! ako'ng nauna to post comment here.
ReplyDeleteSiyempre, ang galing talaga pag pinoy o pinay ka, sa ano mang larangan at sa buong mundo..
At kay KAY, what's new? Nakikilala naman talaga kahit saan ang pinay/pinoy. Sa anumang larangan na napili...
EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION, EXCELLENCE IN LIFE!
MABUHAY ka KAY! :-)
Kay is such a gifted young woman. I am pretty sure she will reach the apex of her chosen career. Bing is undeniably fulfilled having a most able daughter like Kay.
ReplyDeletesalamat nang marami dito, Sol. Kay will truly appreciate this. i'll show this when she comes home from school.
ReplyDeletesuch a detailed narrative on kay. parang kilalang-kilala ko na rin tuloy sya. hehe. :)
ReplyDeleteRICHARD, natawa ako sa link title mo dito "Richard in your hands"...haha, parang kailan lang ano tapo ka pa sa akin. I'm so glad you're still blogging at dumadami na rin ang blogger friends mo. Keep writing, keep blogging, i'll keep reading your entries.
ReplyDeleteMAJOR TOM, I firmly believe what you said. Kay was brought up really well by her parents.
Sol, magaling din yung anak na lalaki ni maam bing, si daryl. :-)
ReplyDeleteBING, I hope Kay will like what I wrote about her, and I hope she inspires more Filipino students to be exemplary with humility as her. I remember one thing I learned from my Alma Mater, and Kay reminds me of it " HUMILITY IS THE WAY TO GREATNESS". Congratulations Bing, you brought her up to be an admirable young woman.
ReplyDeletePAO, if you notice, I wrote limited stuff about Kay, it was her own writings that tells more about herself; proof that she expresses herself well in writing too.
HELLO NIKKI! Nagulat ako bigla kang sumulpot dito, hehe. Kausap ko lang mga estudyante ko (nasa classroom ako blogging, ups!) dahil nagrereklamo sa magulong schedule nila at dahil sa init sa loob ng classroom (new aircon units are supposed to be installed in Sept.) Mainit din dito sobra, mas mainit pa yata sa Pilipinas. Worse, tinapon ko last winter ang electric fans ko, akala ko di ko na kakailanganin, sayang!
ReplyDeleteHmmm... bibisitahin ko rin ang blog ni Daryl soon. Ili-link ko pala ang blog ni Kay sa Pinoy Teachers Network so teachers can also visit and comment on her blog.
kilala ko yan. magaling na bata yan. siyempre anak yata ng balae ko. ;-)
ReplyDeletePanalo talaga ang Pinoy! So, let's also vote for Filipino rocker Mig Ayesa at http://rockstar.msn.com/voting. Mig delivered a powerful performance tonight at the Rockstar INXS competition. He deserves our support and vote.
ReplyDeletemabuhay to her.
ReplyDeleteHello Teacher Sol. Go ahead and post the entry on your blog. I've modified it and added Mig's own blog entry explaining why he had to sing "Live and Let Die".
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprise magaling talaga ang pinoy/pinay. For Kay, keep it up.
