III. REFLECTION

GOOD TEACHERS ARE GOOD MODELS, WHETHER IN SCHOOL, AT HOME OR IN THE
COMMUNITY. FROM THE TEACHERS THAT YOU HAD, DID THE PERSONAL QUALITIES
THAT THEY POSSESS HELP YOU LEARN BETTER AS A STUDENT?

1.IDENTIFY ONE PROFESSIONAL CHARACTERISTIC OF YOUR MODEL TEACHER (NOT
NECESSARILY YOUR CT) THAT HAS MADE A GREAT IMPACT IN YOUR LIFE AS A
LEARNER. REFLECT AND DESCRIBE HOW THIS QUALITY INFLUENCED YOU.

ONE PROFESSIONAL CHARACTERISTIC THAT MY MODEL TEACHER POSSESSES AND
HAD A GREAT IMPACT IN MY LIFE IS COMPASSION. BACK THEN, I AM JUST A
TYPICAL STUDENT OR MAYBE WORSE THAN A TYPICAL STUDENT BUT I STRIVED
HARD BECAUSE SOMEONE BELIEVED IN ME—MY GRADE 10 TEACHER MA’AM EVE
DELA CRUZ. WHEN MY WORLD SEEMS TO BE DARK AND I FELT SO LOST SHE
HANDED ME A LIGHT OF HER KINDNESS. SHE BELIEVED IN ME, SHE PUSHED ME TO
BECOME BETTER, SHE ALLOWED ME TO REACH MY FULL POTENTIAL. THROUGH
HER COMPASSION, I AM NOW PURSUING A PATH I HAVE NOT IMAGINED TAKING TO
UNTIL I MET HER. SOONER OR LATER, I WILL BE IN THE FIELD OF TEACHING AND
THIS WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT ME MEETING HER. I AM WHO I AM TODAY
BECAUSE OF HER.
