Do Not Be Ashamed of What You Don't Have

       Today is our CASISTEA Assembly held at the University of Nueva Caceres Gym. The Guest Speaker is Dr.Orfelina Tuy, Director IV of Region V. It was participated by all Elementary Teachers of the Division of Camarines Sur.

      I remember her way back in 2011, March 19 because she signed my appointment as Teacher I, being the Assistant Superintendent of the Division of Camarines Sur during that time. Still single and looks charming today .I was encouraged to listen to her discussing about goal assessment. She emphasized that no teacher should  ever retire as teacher 1, never wait for 20 years to become teacher 2, that each teacher should have a career plan.Do not be contented of what you are now, work on your goal.She also tackles financial budgeting, that teachers have only 3, 000 as take home pay, so we end up thinking of where to find another lending institution. The statement is too good to be true! 

     One thing more that I like about what she said is that  we should not be ashamed of what we don't have. Instead of loaning a scooter or single motor for 3 years (P3, 000 monthly) to be your service, why don't we just ride in a tricycle, even she, rides in a tricycle. We should control ourselves over matters that don't really matter. Teachers should learn how to be thrifty. We should save even 5 pesos each day. It's better than not saving at all.

     Last thing , as an individual we should not lose our faith, that there is a powerful spirit that controls us all. Never rely in our strength. Dream high. All has a place on Earth.

              The new Division  Schools Superintendent was also there, Dr. Gilbert T. Sadsad. We end at 11: 30 am. I was inspire today by those who have gone through hardworks and hardships in the field of education.Now , I learn to assess my self and my goal in life. I have to work starting today for me to achieve more. At the age of 37 , I should already be a Master Teacher I. No more, no less..
