Nia in Cebu City

Lots of things were meant to happen in our lives and those things happen for us to learn from them, to grow from them, and to shape us for who we are in the next days. I feel so blessed and grateful to be given the opportunity to join this program that so far has taught me nothing but being grateful for everything that life has thrown us into. There are many things in this world that can help us open our sights more to see the world from different perspectives and to have those perspectives is to experience as many as possible.

DAY 10 - 12 August, 22 nd - 24 th This week actually I was supposed to start on my assisting task but since Mrs. Postrano only gave the students quizzes 3 days in a row, first 2 days were quizzes about poetic devices and on Friday is a pre test since they began the next lesson that is Greek Mythology. Those three days I sat in the back continuing my observation and started working on my lesson plan for the next week because it is my turn to teach and she gave me Literary Types to study since it is the lesson I’m gonna teach. On Thursday, they celebrated the Mass to the Holy Spirits from 7.15 a.m to 9.20 a.m. Mrs. Postrano said the school has the celebration every beginning of Academic Year in August which also will be continued on August, 31 st along with the celebration Buwan ng Wika, the celebration of Tagalog culture.
