My Teacher My Hero

         “Step Out of the Way”

             By Pearl Marie Geva

          Teachers”, I know that all of us have its own experience on teacher. Teachers those are friendly, jolly and above all very strict. In line with it, I want you to know that I am very impressed that I encounter this experienced of a girl to her teacher. Lesson learned here where I realize that life is enjoyable but the important thing is you know how to control yourself and make your journey into succession. This teacher  was her teacher when she was in Grade 3, she is Ms. Candelaria Gelle. A very beautiful teacher with a kind hearted behavior. One thing of it was, she don’t have a husband because of loving her career. Until now, as she passed by the school, she got a smile on her face because she remember the innocent her doing something  that are not good but the teacher was there to correct her.

 
            When she was in elementary, she admits that she is a very stubborn child. She used to roam around the classroom, hiding some things of her classmates and talking loudly with her seatmates. Here her classmates are always reporting to her teacher, because of her behavior she was punished by of what we call “squat rust”. Arms facing upward with books over it while bending the knees. It’s nothing to her because she is fun of watching the teacher with a terror face when scolding her. She tends to laugh than to be depressed because of her fault while doing such punishment.

            In 2005, recognition day, that time she was on grade 2 where she encounters an unforgettable experience. Because of her undesirable behavior, she gather an award of nothing on that day, she see herself sitting on the chair and waiting for the program to start. She feels disappointed because of that situation after she watched the flow of a program and there she saw her name nothing on it. Until she heard a low voice, asking what is her name and her grade where she belongs. The teacher also asked her “Why she is alone sitting on the chairs of the honor students?”  There she paused and look mat the eye of the teacher. She feels frustrated that time because she realizes that having an award makes a student special to a teacher. Before she steps out of the way, the teacher said, “I think you can garner it next year and I will help you to do it. As she heard it, her hearts pumps faster with joy and excitement. That words strike her and it became a postcard to her mind.

            When she’s on grade three, she does her very own best to behave as well as to cooperate. And here she sees herself changing. As time goes by, its recognition day again, she is very happy to herself sitting in line with her classmates with honor too. To be true, since she was on Grade I, she doesn’t have any award but nice to think that she did it. She changes her path, path where she sees her real self. 

          Her teacher did to her was not only giving an award but she changed her student to be a student. Where the girl realizes that she only needs a teacher like a teacher she encountered. A teacher where she considered as her savior, her “Hero” As she continue her journey, she can’t forget that day where she realized a thing before she step out of the way. That thing is not only a thing, it is a thing that pushed her and it became her priority in her life. To changed her into her  real self and to help others too in changing their attitudes. That thing is the importance of education in life of a person, where school is for enjoying learning not a playing ground for us to enjoy.
