Classes are in full swing again…. I’m handling 31 units of load for this semester and it is not an easy task … but I am not complaining… I can deal with another 3 units or better yet 6. :)

In front of me are piles of examination booklets from the recently concluded prelim exam … I am handling 9 classes of 6 different subjects from analog and digital electronics to differential calculus… but I am coping really well (very, very well indeed). I personally do all the checking of my students’ test papers…and after hours of correcting, I am glad to discover that a good number of my students did well in the exam. What better consolation there is from the weariness and difficulty of teaching? To see your students learn and flourish. Ahhhh…this is purely exhilarating…..

As a teacher I have seen different levels of intelligence… and I have realized that indeed every person had a unique calling in life… most of the students that had come my way had a below average intelligence… maybe I am rating them unfairly and subjectively… but these students can’t even add negative numbers, they can’t correctly spell common words, and worst they can’t even understand simple instructions. So are these students hopeless? No I don’t think so… the only problem is, they haven’t realized what they really want in life. Do they lack the intelligence to really know what they want? Oh but I really don’t know… what are the factors that make a person intelligent? Is it the genes? The environment? or the milk? Heheehhehe… this musing of mine is not doing me any good. I am just sure of one thing though… that I am really doing my very best to impart the knowledge and wisdom that is bestowed upon me…. As the line of Spiderman goes: “with great power comes great responsibilities” (am I stating it right? Hehehhe).

I AM BECOMING HOPELESS!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!
