ON BEING TAUGHT BY STUDENTS

I woke up in the early hours of the day. I stepped on the floor and look myself at the mirror. I was really excited to go to school for the reason that it was the day wherein our school will be going to celebrate the KYSD- Know Your School Day. When I took a bath in the cold and frosty water early that morning, I was thinking of what will happen when my classmates are the ones who are going to handle us instead our bona fide teachers. Questions are coming up on my head- Are we going to have a regular class? ; Or we are going to have a messy class because they are only my classmates and we are just the same and identical from each other?

I went to school excitedly and waited for my other classmates to come.
In a little while, the school bell rang and our classes started. The first area under discussion is the Computer subject. Our teacher at that point in time was Rheena, one of my close friends. The class was very noisy and Teacher Rheena kept on shouting and tried to be the one in charge of us. But some of my classmates don’t want listen at her. Madam Kerr, our teacher-in-charge for that subject was there and she told us to shut our mouth off. We all then became silent. So, student teacher, Rheena continued her discussions.

When we were being taught by Rheena, I wasn’t so nervous because I know that she is not so strict. I know she don’t know how to scold us. But, somehow, I was also afraid when she would lose her temper and then she will be unable to find her control to us. She might tell the teacher that we were so messy and disorganized- and this another deduction to our points.

For other subject that was managed by a student-teacher, it was also alright. But do you know what; I thought at first that some of my classmates that were asked to manage and handle the class will be having favoritism or a bias and preferential treatment. But I believe I was in the wrong thought.
After all, I already make out that my classmates are all very competitive. And I appreciate and understand that.

There was also an instance in which I thought that this student teacher of ours will be having an awfully long and difficult question paper. I was afraid because this stand-in teacher teaches not so clearly. I was afraid if he will give us an examination with some items that he has not talk about and point out a while ago.

But still, at first, I can call myself as an ‘ignorant’ one about the KYSD. At first, I was excited and keyed up about the said circumstance. In fact, it was my first time to have been taught formally by a student ever in my life.
Huuuuhhhh… I was so happy to have an opportunity to know my school more; to know how a teacher teaches the students. Actually, it was a very, very memorable day.

MY FRIEND IS A GENIE...

`Do you believe on genies? How about, magic? Are there really magic nowadays? I don’t think so. They are not true.
What if one day, a genie will approach you and ask for your three majestic wishes? What will you tell to them?

I don’t know. For me, there are no genies. But, what if these creatures really exist? Of course, I will tell them all my wishes- everything that I wanted. It is an opportunity.

First of all, I will ask a good and wealthy future for me and my family. I will tell the gnome to give us the best family tie- no troubles, no pain, and no mistake to happen. Of course, I love my family. That is how good I am.
That’s all for my 1st wish.

My second wish is a material ones- lot of money. I want to have money so that I can buy whatever I want. I want to buy everything that my mom and dad want. My mother wants to have our own computer set. She wants to have our own PC for the reason that she knows that it can help us in our studies and also for her work.
For my dad, he wants to have our own car. Not just one, but two cars- one for our service car and another as our delivery truck. You know, we live because of cargo forwarding, so he wants to have our own truck.
I also want to buy lots of things for my sis- colorful dresses, dolls, chocolates, and many more. I desire to buy a new TV set and DVD player. I want to have all these things. I am longing to shop for lots of grocery items and food. I am hoping for everything. I want to have money in order to fix and finish our house. Nowadays, everything is expensive.
My mom wants to have our house be finished before the end of 2006, but do not have budget for it. As of now, we just live in an undone house. I wish this house will be settled and we shall live very comfortably. I wish for all the best things. I would like to have my private bedroom, my own divan, my personal study table, or even my secretive closet which is jam-packed with my much loved pants, and shirts, and also shoes.

Finally, my third wish. Now, it is all for me. I wish that I’ll be a successful fellow, and will be able to finish my studies well. I covet to be what I want to or I will be capable to have my own profession, so that I can work and provide everything for me. I have a desire to be able to graduate and get ahead of all those obstacles.

I know… even though these genies are not really accessible in life, it is still believable to have all these things- just a minute of sacrifice, snap of patience, and an instant hard work…
…and tomorrow you will subsist what you want to be. Execute it and you’ll see the outcome.
