LITTLE HANDS // MDP

Let's just say that I do not belong in the field of teaching. First, because I never understood the lessons back when I was in the third grade. All I could think about was what I was going to do during recess and lunch and whose hair looked the best in the class. So I'm not quite certain with the lessons that I'm going to teach. Second, because I despise kids.

I'm one of those people who never has any patience with kids but when we went to Bataan to visit a school and teach some of their students there, I now look at kids in a different perspective. Maybe it was just the kids we taught were sweet and knew how to respect us. I still feel uncomfortable around children though. I always tell my friends that I'm allergic to them.

Teaching is actually a fulfilling career because you get to shape the life of a child who can do wonders once he or she grows up. I now know what teachers have to go through just so they can teach children in the most inspiring way they can because I believe that the only reason why kids don't like a certain subject is because the teacher is not teaching it so well.

I really hope I inspired my kid to finish her studies and be great in her own way, even if she has to use her own two little hands.

Of course, the bus ride going to Bataan was fun, too, just like any other bus rides. We watched three animated movies, How To Train Your Dragon, Up, and Tangled, respectively. Everyone had initially voted on watching The Hunger Games and Now You See Me (Dave Franco, my baby) but there were technical difficulties which resulted to a sad Monica (because Peeta and Dave Franco feels).
