Life In A Snapshot

I’m a proud Tita to my favorite niece! Oh I have 1 niece (Ella) and 1 nephew (Eman) for now so they are both my favorite niece and nephew. So when Ella received a merit award last school year, I and Ace trooped with them (Carol, Donald, and kids) to Ella’s recognition day. The little girl was so proud of her recognition and feels like it was her graduation that she was demanding for graduation gifts! Imagine that? At 7, she knows what she wants as gifts. Not just simple toys but dreams for gadgets too!haha.

Anyway, she got a treat after the recognition program – a late breakfast at McDonald’s, lunch at Shakey’s and a foot massage! What a lucky girl!

I heard it is Teacher’s Month beginning today until next month. What better way to thank our teachers who are putting all their efforts and resources to teach their students. I am a daughter of a former public school teacher and I have seen how my late mother put so much effort in preparing her lesson plan EVERY NIGHT and teach her students whole day while receiving a meager salary. I don’t remember a night when Mamang was free to help me with my assignments because as I do my homework, she is also writing her lesson plan for ALL the subjects that she is teaching in Grade Three. For thirty three years of teaching (before she died), she must have received a lot of tokens from her students – past and present for a job well done. Students and their parents should express a debt of gratitude to the teachers who are exerting so much time, effort and sometimes their personal money to teach their students. If I am a student now or a parent of a child in school, I would probably get this Teacher Acrylic Apple Clock from Personal Creations. I love what it says in it – 2 teach is 2 made a difference 4ever. Great one! Kudos to all teachers!
