Sulat ni Ina

Sulat ni Ina (Comment_Filipino 3)

Sa pagkumpas ng kamay ng orasan,ang panahon ay mabilis na lumilipas. Sa pagpatak sa bawat segundo, minuto at oras ay may kaakibat na alaala. Alaala na may kasamang pangungulila na du;ot ng labis na pagmamahal at pag-aaruga.

Inuukit sa kasaysayan ng ating buhay ang pinakamagandang biyaya ipinagkaloob ng Diyos, ang ating mga magulang. Sa kanilang paghaplos na tumatagos sa dibdib at mga aral na tumatatak sa isip ay siyang humuhubg sa ating pagkatao. Bawat butil ng hirap at pagsasakripisyo ay kaya nilang tiisin para ipadama ang mga yakap ng pagmamahal sa kanilang mga anak.

Ang mag-aruga ng supling ay siyang tunay na hiyang sa isang ina, isang babaeng hinubog sa tadyang ng lalaki na nilikha ng Maylalang. Bawat kasiyahan at kalungkutan na naaaninag nila sa mga mata ng kanilang anak ay kabiyak ng kanilang nadarama. Ang hirap na dinadanas ng isang anak ay hapis para sa isang ina. Handa nilang ibigay ang sariling buhay para sa kanilang iniibig na anak.

Sa laot ng kasiyahan ay may kipot ng kalungkutan. Panahon na lilisan ang isa sa pinakamahalagang tao sa ating buhay. Ngunit bago pa man dumating ang puntong ito, sulitin natin ang bawat oras na kasama natin sila at ipadama natin na walang karangyaan ar kayamanan ang makakatumbas sa kanila. Maaaring hindi natin kayang tumbasan ang patak ng pawis at pagsasakripisyo nila, subalit sa pagsasabi ng “Mahal kita, Ina” o “Mahal kita, Ama”, mga salitang magbibigay sa kanila ng pitong langit ng kaligayahan.


Mula sa pagsikat ng araw sa silangan hanggang sa paglubog nito sa kanluran,ito’y unti-unting sisikat, unti-unting lilisan. Hindi man minsan nakikita, subalit hindi ito nawawala upang ipadama ang liwanag at ang init ng pagmamahal. Kawangis ng pagmamahal ng isang ina na hindi kayang tumbasan ng kahit anong kayamanan na matatagpuan sa ilalim ng karagatan. Hatid ay ginintuang alaala na umaakit sa mata at nag-iiwan sa puso ng halaga.

Field Study 1- Learner's Development and Environment (My Reflection)



EPISODE 1
                Based on my observation, I would like to teach in the school environment we had just observed because even if there are lot of unavailable facilities, maybe I cam do something to make it feel completed in the sense that only the facilities are gone but the teacher itself is the only one that will make use of substitute materials and places to make learning possible. It is also part of being resourceful ad creative. In addition, teaching profession is not about choosing the school you want to teach with but it is your willingness to share what you have learned.

                The kind of school which is conducive to learning is a school having a complete facilities and equipments which are very useful to enhance and develop each learner’s skills and abilities. Similarly, a school with broader perspectives in reaching each goal together with its mission and vision.

                A multi-faceted classroom will do. A classroom that is well-lighted and well-ventilated in order for the learners participates in their discussion and feels comfortable during the class.

                With the use of learning materials, and different equipment, I will make the classroom attractive and pleasant to the eyes of the learners. The use of different furniture such as a locker for the storage of student’s personal belonging together with the implementation of rules can help a lot in order to be conducive to learning.

                 School as a literate community and environment will serve as a spot for conducive to learning. With its complete facilities and well-lighted and well-ventilated classroom can assist a lot to develop the learner’s individual skills, knowledge and understanding and the assessment of learning in real life situation.

EPISODE 2

                The group based the answers on the Analysis on our experiences when we where at their age specifically, during our preschool and elementary days.

                Yes, I also did recall what my own experiences are when I am at their age. Roaming around the classroom, talking and even playing with my classmates during lesson proper and not listening to what the teacher has told. Despite of this, I tried my best too actively participate in the class discussion same as the learners (high school) we’ve been observed.

                Every teacher who became part of my journey in school always help me with my needs either it is physical, emotional, social and cognitive. They helped me to improve every part of mine when it cones in handling my emotions, having a deeper rationalization and a good interaction with other people. It causes changes not only in my personality but also on how to be a better person and well competent learner.

                I think it is Cognitive Development Theory which pertains to the child development in terms of information processing conceptual resources and other aspects of brain development. Similarly, thinking is affected by their social knowledge which is communicated by either psychological or technical means. This will guide me as a future educator with the proper use of instruction and assessment to boost their capabilities.

                Learners have different characteristics and needs. Some prefer movement activities and others make interact with their classmate to have long time in knowing each other. Educators adjust their modes of teaching to meet the demands and needs of the learners. Teachers provide different activities and methods to enrich students’ cognitive strategies, intellectual skills, verbal information, motor skills and attitude. Despite of those characteristics the most important is that interaction that exists between the learner and his instructor.

EPISODE 3

                I vision myself teaching in the 3rd Year level. With the use of activities such as individual and group report, simulations and reinforcement like pointing system in which the application of cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills is present.

                These are the rules in which I am going to implement in the classroom:
·         Discipline yourself inside and outside the classroom/ school premises.
·         Make involve in doing agreeable and positive activities and reject those which can cause bad habits.
·         Always be ready during class discussion.
·         Make a good communication and collaboration with your teacher.

I chose these rules because it will serve seed as a commencement action to other disciplinary rules in order to have a good foundation of attitude and behavior.

                We make involve the students in the implementation of the rules because they are the one primarily affected. In addition, they have to be aware about the changes happening in the school premises. It must consider the impact it can bring to the learners which involves the classroom management and learning.

EPISODE 4

                Most of the time, I felt the unity and sense of oneness between the learners with the teacher. They are willing to interact and participate in performing any activities with or without the aid of anyone but tend to perform more with their learning buddy.  

                With the use of modern technology can help a lot to make the learners active in which they construct meanings and work collaboratively with their classmates and others. Also, having feedback on any assessment which I make use of will do.

                With proper use and application of methods and assessments with respect to their individual differences to meet their needs and demands it will serve as an encouragement that those differences are not hindrances in any development. As well as to appreciate what others can contribute in making learning possible it will serve as a seed to expand knowledge.






EPISODE 5

                Way back in my elementary and high school days, my teachers used different methods and strategies regarding to our differences in our abilities. They adjust themselves dealing with different students. They were effective instructors because they used simple and comprehensive words so that everybody can understand the lessons and discussions despite of their individual differences.

                As a future educator, I must first identify what are their differences when it comes to their performance in the class so that I can use appropriate methods to meet their needs and demands. With the principle of individual differences, I will used different strategies and methods like a group activity, simulations and games as well as individual or group reports in order to meet the demands and needs of both the high and low achievers of the class.

EPISODE 6

                I am a child like a bird in a cage where freedom was taken away. Home and school are the two places where my life circles within during my elementary days. My parents did not allow me ne to play outside instead I will circulate my hours staying inside our home in studying my lessons and focus on my studies. As I grow up, I deeply understand why they have been strict to me not only for my sake but also to teach me how to value time and the importance of education. In that case, I experienced an authoritative style of parenting that affects me to be social competent and to have a greater ability.

                Teacher and parents must have a certain talk with regards to the learners. Parents should have also a heart to heart talk with their child. More specifically, to the learner’s weakness and spots which need help and development. There should be a clear background of the learner in order to assess appropriate steps to help then to achieve good changes in their attitude and behavior. I will help the parents to implement rules that will not cause bad effects to the learners. The parents will also help me to easily understand the reasons why are the learners acting in a certain behavior so that I will guide then properly.

Honing each one
In being a better man.

And desire to sit at the feet of.

Broaden perspectives

A Twirl and a Twist (Autobiography)









A Twirl and a Twist
A glimpse of the past is like a peep in a prologue while you are reading a book. Chapters change but the story remains the same yet there is always a conflict. There are people who become part of our lives to strengthen us, to hold us when we think we are giving up and to guide us like a compass that will serve as our direction towards the roads of life.
I was born on July 4, 1997 in San Pablo City, Laguna. I am the eldest among the daughters of Richard Torreja Tiquis and Salita Solero Tarroquin. I have two siblings namely Lovely Ellaine T. Tiquis and Lady Precious Emerald T. Tiquis. They are the reasons why a person named Princess Diane Carmela Fshyne T. Tiquis is still living in this complicated and hazardous world.
I studied at Lakes City Christian School when I was in Kindergarten until I reach Grade 3. My sister and I transferred in San Pablo Central School because of continuous increasing of tuition fee and because of different obstacles which seems to be an ordinary scene but we overcome those trials and struggles. As I finished my elementary days, I graduated with an award as a “Model Pupil”.
As I am developing from a child to adolescent, my physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual concepts change. From a girl who does everything to a person with profound understanding.
I step high school at Col. Lauro D. Dizon Memorial National High School and belong to the Science Section. I felt ponderous pressure to my classmates because most of them are competitive not only in academic but also in co-curricular activities. But as time goes by, those people become my friends. Friends that will wipe my tears during my failures. I consider this high school life as one of the best memories I will treasure deeply in my heart.
During these days, another obstacle comes to our lives. It was my first sorrow, the death of my loving father, Richard Tiquis. It was an endless pain, a continuous sob and the hardest suffering to pass by. But these circumstances are such a beginning. I also experienced walking from our house to school and vice versa because I don’t have allowance that will support my needs in school. These experiences strengthen my personality. Despite of it, I doubled the effort to study hard, focus on my lessons and to enjoy life with limitations. After all the struggles, I graduated in high school as 6th Honorable Mention and dedicate my success to my family especially to my father and tor heavenly father, Jesus Christ.
Years passed by, scars will always be there. I learned enough from the experience and mistakes I have made. Experiences that hone me to be a stronger person and mistakes that sharpen me to be a better individual.
It was my second year in college at Dalubhasaan ng Lunsod ng San Pablo taking Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education Major in Social Studies. It is another remarkable chapter in my life. Confucius said, “Life is really simple, but we insist in making it complicated.” It seems to be difficult but I am trying my best to make it easy. Easy in a way that I am doing my best to focus better on my studies to have a better future someday.
Like what you can perceive with your eyes, changes are the only permanent things in this world. There will always be another chapter in our lives. It starts from innocence to full grown being. Aiming for a desirable and successful ending and an epilogue that will lasts forever not only in mind but deeply in your heart.
