Teacher’s on break!

After the ten long months, teacher is officially taking a two-week break!!!

I love teaching a lot but now that I’ve gotten older, it’s kinda hard to keep up with the little kids.  Running after them and goofing around isn’t as easy as it used to be! Now I contend with back aches all the time and my patience has gotten much shorter than it used to be. I think even the kids notice my aging as they ask about white hairs they notice or lines on my face and even the veins that are more prominent now in my hands. I’m starting to feel that I need to lather on all sorts of wrinkle creams and anti-aging ointments to keep myself from looking older! Nonetheless, I still enjoy it a whole lot. I honestly think too that being with these young kids have kept me young emotionally. I remember a time when I resigned from teaching preschool because I wanted to focus more on graduate studies and during that time, I felt so old! It was like I wasn’t laughing enough and seeing the joy of life as much.

I have to admit, though, that much as I will always love teaching, I can only squeeze in a year or two more of teaching little kids. After that perhaps I have to move on to a different kind of working with kids. We’ll see where that goes. In the meantime, I’m going on vacation. No pay nga lang. Hehe!
