What Do We Do in Summer?

Summertime is the best opportune time for every member of my family to be together, to have  bonding time, to strengthen our relationship, patching family problems, among others.

Actually, this is what comes to our mind every summer. Summertime is washing time. Summertime is cooking. Summertime is swimming. Summertime is playing time. Summertime is praying together. Summertime is spending Church activity together. Summertime is to watch wholesome movies. Summertime is writing and reading. Summertime is to enjoy an ample rest and a sound sleep at siesta and at night. But what matters most is summertime is a family time.

Summer Vacation

Summer vacation starts right after the closing exercises or commencement exercises of elementary and high school respectively.

In my family, we have four grandchildren who go to elementary school, one programming teacher, and one instructional manager; and I am a school head of Cubay Elementary School, Division of La Carlota City.

Teaching Leads Me To Where I Am Now

Twenty-nine years ago today, I was overjoyed while I received my certificate of the degree of Bachelor in Elementary Education. Former La Carlota City Mayor Juancho Aguirre handed me that certificate in a red case.

I would be much happy if my late parents were also present at that time. The degree that was conferred upon me by the board of trustees of La Carlota City was the greatest expectation of my parents. I earned this through my diligence, through my industry, through my determination to equip myself of this honor in which my wife and my two kids are so proud too for I was already married while I was studying in college.

It took me a lot of perseverance, a lot of sacrifices. But above all, I know it is the Lord's will to provide for such blessings to fulfill my dream, my vocation as a teacher. My passion to teach is evident while I was a kid. I used to play a classroom teacher. I used to gather my neighbors, my relatives and used our empty wall as blackboard.I taught them writing, reading, and arithmetic The 4Rs in teaching methodology. I enjoyed and they enjoyed too. I used to cry, feel frustrated and even disgusted when they won't play with me.
