Introduction
 Teaching is one of the most central, if not the unifying term in the universe of

discourse of formal education. It is also basic, fundamental, hence, foundational to formal

education. Without teaching, formal education cannot achieve its goal. Along with

teaching, the other term that is central to formal education is learner/learning.

Education is the deliberate, systematic and sustained effort to transmit, evoke, or

acquire knowledge, attitudes, values, skills or sensibilities, as well as any outcomes of

that effort. Also, it is the only wealth that cannot be stolen from us.

Every year, over a thousand college senior education students undergo internship

or student teaching, which is a course requirement designed to provide opportunities to

apply the principles and methods of teaching learned in the classroom in actual learning

situations. They experience new things and changes in their selves and in the

environment. They have to cope up with the demands for time management, planning

daily lessons, checking and grading papers, and utilizing appropriate teaching techniques

and instructional materials.

Now, I am facing the real world of teaching. This journal is made to present the

product of my happy and sad memories. Through this, I will remember the effort and

sacrifices I have encountered as a student teacher. It is composed of the student teacher’s

experiences in her cooperating school, her relationship with the pupils, as well as her

cooperating teachers.

Student Teacher’s Prayer

 To our great and loving Father, the alpha and omega, the Author and Giver of life,

I praise Your name. I am humbling myself and asking forgiveness for all of my sins.

Thank You, Lord, for Your unfailing love and care and for dying on the cross to

save us from our sins.

Help me to remember the greatness of the work which has been given to me to do.

Give me patience for those who are slow to learn, and even for those who refuse to learn.

When I have to exercise discipline, help me to do so in sternness and yet in love. Help me

always to encourage those who are doing their best even if that best is not very good.

Help me, oh Lord, to help my pupils, not only to store things in their memories,

but to be able to use their minds. Make me a good model to my pupils and help me to

remember that the future of the nation and of the world is in my hands.

All of these I ask in Jesus’ Name, I pray. Amen.

Summary

Adrienne Maravich stood up and strode to the rostrum with much the same

deliberateness that characterized her more than 6,300 trips to the front of the classroom.

She surveyed the audience for familiar faces for several moments, and then, satisfied that

she could remember the names of many of her former students, she moved forward to the

microphone.

“Thank you, Mayor Schneider and the members of the chamber of commerce and

the city council. This award means more to me than you’ll ever know. Almost four

decades ago when I decided to become a teacher, I had no idea where it would lead. I

certainly could not have foreseen standing here, accepting this tribute. In fact, I might

have studied law and become a lawyer if women had enjoyed greater opportunities back

then.

Over the years, I must have considered leaving teaching a dozen times for all sorts

of reasons. Sometimes I felt I needed a new challenge or I disagreed about a policy.

Sometimes I just felt exhausted. But I always chose stick with it. At first, I refused to quit

because I wasn’t satisfied that I’d done the best job of teaching I could do. Later I

decided to continue teaching because I believed in the value of what I was doing. My

students and their parents would come back to me and tell me what a difference I had

made in their lives. I knew I could not get those feelings selling real estate!

Now, as I look back over thirty-five years of teaching, I think what wads most

meaningful was playing a role in perpetuating our civilization. I feel as if I’m part of a

continuous chain of individuals, going back thousands of years, who have tried to ensure
that each new generation is well-versed in the traditions and beliefs of its culture. I would

recommend teaching to anyone with a desire to leave the world a better place than he or

she found it.”

As Adrienne Maravich slowly sat down, the audience rose in a standing ovation.

At this point, her persistent efforts to hold back her tears finally failed.

Reaction

Teaching is a very big task to those who wants to become a teacher. Teachers must

be versatile in all aspects of learning, nurturing, and advocating education. She must be

an artist, architect, dancer, singer, actor, helper, and most challenging of all a mother to

the learners.

Being a student teacher places me in my first step but not that far from becoming

a teacher. I had my share of some difficult circumstances and surpassed challenges when

I took the task of a student teacher. I monitored the needs of the pupils and worked under

the watchful eyes of supervisors and parents who often had different expectation from

mer. Sometimes, it came to my mind to give up and withdraw from teaching because I

felt I was not good enough or skillful enough.

As I have read this article about the retirement of Adrienne Maravich from

teaching, I realized that being a teacher is a good opportunity to teach, inculcate

knowledge, and mold the different skills and moral values of the young people.
 Someday somehow my pupils and parents would come back to me and tell me the

difference or good change I had made in their lives. I know those things cannot be

exchanged with gold or money.

For me, the teaching profession is the best in all profession and I could not

compare it with other professions.

I am so very proud to become a teacher because the future of the next generation

depends on me.
History of Don Juan P. Garcia, Sr.
Elementary School

Kenram was founded under the claimed parcel of land by then late Don Vicente

Garcia and his wife Doña Salud Caram Garcia. This parcel of land was first planted with

a kind of plant called Kenaf. Later on, this plantation was formed into corporation for

expansion of products. Half of this parcel of land was planted with Ramie. The name of

the barangay came into existence now known as Kenram, which was derived or

originated from these two kinds of plantation, the Kenaf and Ramie. As years passed by,

people flocked to this barangay for work in the plantation of corporation, so there was

increased number of workers or laborers.

In the year 1954-55, the school was opened for the first time to accommodate

school children. Grades I and II were combined in one class with one teacher. This was

under the supervision of District Supervisor Zosimo Llavore of Tacurong District. The

following year, 1955-56, Grades III and IV levels were opened and one teacher was

added, handling the two new classes.

In the year 1956-57, Kenram Primary School was transferred to Norala District

under District Supervisor Jose Lacanaria. In the opening of classes of 1957-58, Grade V

class was opened and another teacher was hired. Again, the following year, 1959-60,

Grade VI class was organized and this was the first time that the Kenram Elementary

School experienced a graduation. In 1961-62, Kenram Elementary School became under

the Isulan District with nine teachers there set by the district office located in Kalawag.

Due to growing population of this municipality, Isulan District was divided into two
districts which were the East and West districts. Because of increased population and for

the purpose of making school supervision easier, the two Isulan districts were redivided

to make it into three districts which composed of east, central, and west districts. Kenram

belonged to the Isulan Central District under District Supervisor Mr. Labrador. Many

head teachers had been assigned in this school. Among them were Mr. Annanias Anung,

now deceased, Mr. Garaygay, Mrs. Ontanillas, Mr Buluan Abid, Mr. Melanio T. Livara,

noe the principal of Isulan Central Elementary School, and Mr. Eleuterio Q. Pascual, Jr.,

who was the active school principal of Kenram Elementary School from year 2003 up to

the present.

From 1950s to 2008, Don Juan P. Garcia, Sr. Elementary School was developed

with the tremendous construction of more school and classroom facilities for the benefits

and achievement of high quality education. Each grade, from primary to intermediate

level, composed of different sections to sustain academic and character development of

children.

For 54 years in existence, Don Juan P. Garcia, Sr. Elementary School continues to

soar high into the sky of academic excellence. It may encounter stormy wind of

challenges and trials which may break its wings. But with the strong administration and

work force, commitment to service, the school can strengthen and spread its wings in

reaching its own vision.

Teacher’s Creed

I am an educator by choice and not by chance.

I believe in education s an important tool for success. I dedicate my life to it for

the development and advancement of the pupils.

I will strive to set before my pupils a good example by my deeds and actions for

the highest standards of citizenship for my community, state and nation.

I will endeavor to develop professionally through study, research and exploration.

I will not knowingly wrong my fellow teachers. I will defend them as far as

honesty will permit.

I will work for the advancement of education and I will defend it in my

community, state and nation. I realize that I am a part of the public school system.

I will work in harmony with the school authorities and other teachers of the

school.

My love for the youth will spur me on to impart something from my life that will

help me make for each of my students a full and happy ventures.

The Teacher

Tired but happy at the end of the day,

That he has done his task to the best of his ability,

His pupils he teachers well and guides the way,

Molding their character and their personality.

Education to him is most important.

He sees it as an imperative of freedom,

For whom one’s quest for wisdom is stagnant,

Then he descends to mental apathy and boredom.

Anxious is he to produce good citizens,

Who will serve the country devotedly,

Teaching them self-reliance and self-confidence,

To face up to life’s realities courageously.

Called to serve, a teacher is always ready,

To lend a helping hand to other agencies,

Kind and self-sacrificing he aids the needy,

Counsels and helps them overcome their deficiencies.

Human as he is, he sometimes feels depressed,
When his patience is taxed by children unruly,

Indifference on their part impedes his progress

A threat to his past, a bar to his competency.

Ever faithful and dedicated to his profession,

He strives to serve in and out of school,

The demands on his time call for action,

To give sources and satisfaction to all.

Responsibility-conscious, he respects authority,

Exacts obedience and calls for discipline,

Yet, compassionate and friendly he shows sympathy

To all who are unfortunate, oh what a citizen!
