Forced to be with you

Forced 17

Matapos kong inihatid si Stream sa classroom nila ay dumeretcho muna ako sa faculty para ilagay ang mga gamit ko.

I pick the book and my laptop to my classroom advisory. I am teaching junior high school, particularly grade 7 students. Noong una naninibago ako dahil iba to sa una kong field.

I chose to be a teacher because aside from being an artist, this is my second choice and when I borne Stream, I want to teach kids. I want to impart what I am good at to the next generation more than honing it myself.

"Good morning teacher Cleo" bati ng ilang mga estudyanteng nakakasalubong ko.

"Good morning" I bow as I greet them while smiling.

"Good morning teacher Cleo" bati ulit sa akin ng grupo ni Cheena.

"Good morning" bati ko ulit.

As soon as I organize my table, the bell rang. Hudyat ng flag ceremony. All students are assembleng theirselves in the quadrangle.

I keep on smiling while looking at my daughter standing beautifully on their line together with her teacher and classmates. I always adore her while she is on her uniform. The red checkered design skirt and white polo shirt with a logo of the school embroidered on the pocket at her left chest, and a red bow tie fits to her perfectly. His two pigtails with a red ribbon clip on the top of it looks cute on her. Indeed, she is my little barbie doll.

The flag ceremony and morning exercises ended with a little announcement from the principal.

"Today, we will be a having a big time visitor. He is the one who will be sponsoring the building of our audio-visual auditorium and science lab. As to welcome him, us teachers will all should be present in front of him that is why there will be no classes this afternoon. But the teachers will be giving a take home activity" The principal announces.

Loud cheers and claps resonate the open area of quadrangle. Of course, who wouldn't be happy when announcing that there will be no class. On the same reason, I couldn't help but to get curious to who he is. He is indeed a bigtime sponsor because he did not just sponsored one building but two. How generous of him to give such grandous generosity. Other than that, thanks to him, finally we will be having a place where we can use for our desired activity most especially the science lab. Not that I am teaching about it, but I can hear my co-teachers ranting about it.

After a long hours of standing in front of the students to teach the lesson of day, I tirely slam my butt on my chair. God, I am so tired but knowing that your students enjoyed your discussion, it is worth the exhaustion.

"Knows mo ba kung sino yung bigating sponsor natin?" Tanong kaagad sa akin ni Bella pagkaupo niya sa katabing table ko.

Iniling ko ang ulo ko. "Hindi e, baka si Ricky alam niya, dakilang marites yan e" nakangisi kong sagot sa kaniya na kinangisi niya din.

"Bruha ka marinig ka niyan pero totoo naman" hagikgik niya.

Speaking of him, he enters the faculty, shoulders down and he looks grumpy. Panigurado nainis na naman to sa mga tinuruan niya. Teaching is not an easy job to do. Hindi lang paper works ang haharapin mong hamon pati matitigas na ulo na mga estudyante at mga magulang na pinapaasa nalang sa teachers ang responsibilidad which supposed to be a cooperative responsibility.

"Hulaan ko grade 10 ka galing no?" duro niya habang hinuhulaan kung bakit siya bugnot ngayon.

"Dios ko dai, nastress na naman beauty ko sa ila! pisting yawa!" Natawa kami pareho ni Bella sa paghilamos niya sa buhok habang nagrarant.

He didn't mean to cuss the kids but the stress he got from them. The grade 10 is known for being the most troublesome section. Our school is just a small community but we offered from kindergarten to senior high school. Tig-isang section lang din kami. What I like about this school is the relationship of the teachers. Maganda silang makisama at hindi kami naglalamangan dito. Palagi lang kaming masaya. Minsan nga nauubos lang meeting namin sa halakhakan sa mga skits ni Ricky at Gia.
