Week 1

(August 11-15, 2014)

Fulfillment

What are my accomplishments?

First of all, thank God for letting me reach this level being one of the practicumers this semester. That was my first accomplishment. Yeah Hey! Applause for me. :D  

Seeing me wearing my uniform again was something I am proud of. I maybe a late graduate but I don’t think of it as someone who’s “napag-iwanan”, just late. Anyways, my second accomplishment was surviving the first week of course. I was able to listen to the orientation, wrote my first to fifth meeting on my minute notebook and passing mi final referred journal. It was a very successful week to end with a big big smile.

My Significant Experiences

One of my significant experiences was when I was late on the first day of our orientation. Not that I’m proud of it but it would be a reminder that one late is enough to a punctual person. I hate to be late that’s why I was depressed, so not cool. But thank God I was early on the second to fifth day, and I hope it will go smoothly. I’m also happy to see my friends who were happy to see me as well. At least I have someone to lean on in times of hardship. It is also the first time I went to the library with them for two days, I felt like a studious person. I always enjoy doing the ice breaker with my new found family, new faces and new environment and new experiences. I always look forward to it every day.

My Insight

I was really excited to the new environment I’m going to be with for this semester. Since I am always with my co-majors, I was not exposed that much with the other majors. Now that I have the opportunity to meet the other group I am happy and hopeful to have a good rapport with them. And I really like to be of help to anyone in the group in any way I can to build a good relationship. This week’s activities was a great opportunity for us to know each other because we were able to do a very fun activity that surpasses our being shy towards other group.

My Problem

This week I had a hard time doing some requirements that was given to us. Maybe because it was the first week of the class and my brain was still on vacation. Though I was trying my best to concentrate but there was still the feeling of being care free. I also felt as if I still was not ready for the practice teaching. I always have this feeling of not being knowledgeable enough; it’s as if I don’t have the courage to teach. There are a lot of things running through my mind. I can’t even concentrate in making my instructional materials. What to do?

Motivation

My Solution

I just need a motivation. Seeing my friends who already graduated was a relief. Knowing that some of them have their own work and now taking the let exam was something to be proud of. Though I was sad that I was not able to graduate with them at least they did not forget about me. They were always there to give pieces of advice. Right now, they are my inspiration and I got motivated to prepare myself. Before they were there to help me do my assignments and requirements but now and during the second semester last year, I learned how to be independent. I taught myself to not be dependent all the time and it was a success knowing that I was able to do it. And now I am sure I can still do it that is why I will lessen my doubts to myself and keep my feet forward. 

My Goals

Keep my feet forward and just have fun doing my ting. Finish my instructional materials and my second referred research journal with flying colors.
