i took up educational units while i was taking up law in the 1990s and it was eventually nullified because of double enrolment. i gave up education and prioritized taking up the bar exams. (which, looking back, should have been the other way around! :)) then, i eventually took up a masters' course in early childhood education in dlsu while working at the senate early 2000 but didn't get to finish it. i went home to iloilo city and transferred to wvsu where i am currently on leave.

now, an opportunity presented itself. i am going to teach music, drama, and games in an elementary school. and i am quite scared. all this time, everything that i have learned has been in theory and now the application part has come. i know i am ready but...i don't know if i am confident enough. i want to be prepared about this and i have so many things that i think about that worries me.

will i teach well?

will the students get me?

will they like me?

will i be a good and effective teacher?

what happens if the students misbehave? how should i handle it?

how should i handle grade 5 from grade 6/7 to grade 8 students?

can i really make them sing as a group?

will their voices blend well?

will i be patient?

aaahhhh...

trust me to pray all the time about this.
