Vertical promotion in our level as an ordinary teacher is not our dream. Everything was just finer for the twenty years and more of service. I became so complacent. I just made sure I had something to offer to my students, colleagues, and other stakeholders.

I have gone through the best and the worst days of teaching. I have taught almost in all levels. I have become the best and the beast. My personal life also has had a roller-coaster ride as I juggled on my responsibilities in school and at home, I had lost interest in school and at home. I had lost interest in giving my best as I felt saturated already and lost hope in improving my financial status. I almost quit. Lo and behold, despite my disappointments and ennui, there’s always that feeling of likeness to be with students and be in school.

It may be late now when I suddenly it dawned into my logic to enroll at T. Del Rosario College to upgrade myself. The tremendous changes tht happened in our theory and practice in the classroom need thorough understanding to be able to cope. The 21^st century students need a 21^st century teacher and a 21^st century teacher needs a 21^st century leader.

In our profession, experience is the best teacher. The years I’ve spent in the classroom are enough to inspire others and to lead them to the right path. I have broken the glass of my complacency and I am up to be a change-mover.

I spend my time and effort in promoting as well as protesting the good health of our students. I am in-charge of the Feeding Program that has become the source of nourishment of those students who are found severely wasted and those have not eaten their breakfast and lunch at home. I also help our Sports Coordinator during the sports events in all levels of competition from City Meet to Palarong Pambansa.

My future is very certain. I will reach my retirement age serving our students with fervor and integrity. I rest my fate for promotion to God. May His favors be upon me.
