Incitement stirred in my heart as I swiftly got down from the bus and headed for the school's main gate. The memory of the call I received a few days ago flashed in my mind, reminding me of the joy I felt when I first found out I was hired in this school. I took in a breath, scattering my gaze as I searched for the Dean.
Wide grassy grounds on each side of the gate filled my perception. The sight of students along with teachers roamed the school grounds freely.
"Good morning, Mr. Eyasan!" Turning my gaze, I saw the Dean approach, stretching his hand out as he neared, "I am Mr. Dulnuan, I believe you recognize me from the interview. Welcome!"
I shook his hand firmly and nodded in acknowledgment. "Yes, glad to be here Sir. It's nice to see you again."
"Come on, I'll lead you to the Faculty Office," He offered. With a nod, I followed him as we entered a building. And after a few turns, he stopped beside a door and motioned me to enter.
"Here we are, " He began as we stepped in, "Mr. Eyasan, this is Ma'am Solidad," The dean inclined his hands towards the woman in the front table. The woman briefly smiled and returned her gaze to what she was writing. Mr. Dulnuan continued to introduce the teachers who would become my colleagues and finally left us to prepare for our classes. I looked at my first subject and saw it was Section 1F of the BSed students, Philosophy; I would be dealing with third years.
"Ohh, so you're the new one," The teacher who's table is beside me remarked with a smile.
"Yes Ma'am," I replied briefly.
"It's nice to finally meet you! It must be a good thing for the students to meet a new face. I must say I'm so relieved that you're here now so I'd finally have a lighter load. Schedules are so hectic in the Social Studies department this semester!" She informed, placing her pen down to the table as she spoke.
"It's nice to meet you too, Ma'am!" I nodded with a smile, "I'm glad my acceptance here not only helps me but also you Ma'am Gomez,"
"Yeah," She replied, glancing down to her wristwatch, "Hey, the first period is gonna start in 8 minutes, Sir. You best be on your way now."
