Afternoon Nap

, 4 Comments

That’s why I’ve been offline for the most part of this week. I’d been getting too-long naps in the afternoon. It all started on Tuesday, after a session at the gym. Yes, I’ve been to the gym twice this week. But that’s a story for a whole other blog (yes, I’ve got some material for my new blog that’s taking eons to launch!).

Anyhoo… The world celebrated Teachers’ Day a few days ago and I just wanted to shout out that I have had some amazing teachers in my student life. They have all (mostly) enriched my life, and encouraged me to continue wondering and discovering the world around me. Although I can’t say I have a favorite teacher, some of them just stand out in my mind as I write this. She wasn’t my teacher in any class (not that I can remember), but she was the adviser for our grade school paper. She taught me a lot, and when she left us, and later when I moved up to highschool, I missed her. YTV was not quite the same after she left.

In highschool… wala lang ako maisip ngayon, but I had some awesome teachers too. A lot of them really cared for their students. At the UP, who could ever forget one of the pillars of the Psych Dept? I remembered him on this post when he passed on. There were other professors from other colleges and departments too. Ones who really challenged me to think out of the box, and challenge my own beliefs. Most of them were very encouraging.

Before I left UP, I had wondered about writing each of my former professors a note to say thank you. I never got around to it, but someday, I still might do it. Teaching isn’t a lucrative career, but I can see how it can be the most rewarding.

Kudos to all the Teachers of the world! Keep on inspiring young minds and leading the way for a brighter tomorrow. 🙂
