Truthfully,
English has never been my cup of tea. I’m not much up for literary stuffs and spontaneous
public speaking. Checking the correct grammar is really mind- breaking (though
I have this unconditional love for grammars!) and I always chicken out when it’s
my time to present or to speak (which I deemed as really embarrassing). But
amidst these, I found English 9 as a really enjoyable subject. It’s not the
typical boring discussion that makes you want to sleep through it. There’s much
more to it.
When I was in
Grade 7, I noticed my 3rd year service mates that they always read
Shakespeare books. So I thought, “Oh, so once I become a 3rd year
student too, I’ll be able to read stories written by Shakespeare and we got to
discuss it in class!” But then again, I’m part of a different curriculum (I’m
not so happy about it) so the chance that I’ll experience what they had is low.
And I wasn’t wrong.
Well, not
exactly wrong. There’s still the Romeo and Juliet story. But it’s different.
There’s a module that every public school follows. So, we’re exactly learning
same stuffs like other general curriculum schools. I was quite disappointed that
I won’t experience the same things that my seniors did. Also, I really love
reading (Even though it may not look like it) and discussing the story that’s
why I got really sad when I found out that we won’t discuss stories like that
much.
But at least,
the teachings are not bad. It’s excellent, actually. Our teacher imparts us
with life lessons that we could use in the future. Every lesson has its own
connection with life and living. The group activities are also fun since some
of our classmates put their all in presenting (I don’t usually present since I got
so nervous just by speaking in public).
I really had
fun in English this school year. It’s not my favorite (I love Math and Science
more) but I look forward to it (excluding the days when we need to present
individually). I also feel guilty whenever our teacher asks a question and no
one will answer. It feels like we’re ignoring her. So if you’re reading this
blog ma’am, we’re truly sorry for this behavior of us.
Our English teacher
is an admirable person. She does things at her own will. Ma’am Maye relates the
lessons to life and actually made the best out of them. It feels like it’s her
way of being an adviser and a mother to us. She treats us equally. And she
really tries to reach out to us.

I’m not
personally so close to our adviser slash English teacher (I’m so awkward when
it comes to people older than me) but I know she’s a really nice person. She
treats our section like a family. She also hangs out with us like we’re friends
and shares insights and life lessons to us. Ma’am also gives great advice
especially to those people who are experiencing hard times in life.

Our teacher is
also a clean freak (but in a good way). I’m not really great in cleaning things
but with the guidance of her, I managed to go to school and do my cleaning
duties properly. She also taught us some tips in tidying things up. I really
enjoyed cleaning now. Our room has never been this clean before.

She is a
really trustworthy person. You can open up to her and she’ll understand you and
give you advice. There are times when she got mad of us because we’re
irresponsible and seem to be so full of ourselves. Ma’am, we’re really sorry
for that. We sometimes push you to your limits. There’s a point when you feel
like giving up on us and stop caring for us. Thank you Ma’am for not continuing
it. Thank you for still holding tightly and believing on us.

I wish for us
to be a little closer but I really am an awkward kid. I’m also truly touched by
what you said about wanting to be the teacher of our batch again and wishing to
be the adviser of Nitrogen again. I wish it could come true (even if the
possibilities are slim). I love you Ma’am. We love you Ma’am. I may not be your
most expressive student but I hope that this blog I wrote would be able to
reach out to you.

There are lots of pictures I want to include (especially the halloween selfie) but unfortunately, I can't find them hehe. Love you Ma'am!!!!
This will be the last blog entry I'll make for this school year. I'll somewhat miss writing a blog (At first, I'm against it but it eventually grow into me). Wiee!
