Being Lectured by Fellow Students


What would you do if your teachers would be replaced by you fellow students?What would you fell?How will you interact with them?
Here in U.P.(University of the Philippines), there is ab event called K.Y.S.D.(Know Your School Day)where students like me, can have a chance to act as teachers or non-teaching faculty members for example, being a Clerk, Librarian and so much more.
To be a member of this activity, you have to write what you want to apply and write the reason why. After doing so, the next step is to go teacher-in-charge or the faculty-in-charge of what you want to apply. You will be interviewed by them.
I also tried to apply but it was already too late, the teachers are no longer accepting applicants. Its all right, I'll to apply next year, and if I can't be a “teacher”, I still have my 3rd and 4th years. The question is, will I be still here in my 2nd ,3rd and 4th years?
Back to my main topic. In the first day of K.Y.S.D.,it was Thursday so our first subject was Computer and Rheena was our “teacher”. She managed to teach us patiently even though some of my classmates were very noisy because there were not afraid of the “teacher” because she was only our classmates. After the bell rang, Soc. Sci was the next subject and the “teachers” were Paolo, Joni Joy and Rosa . Our lesson was about Current Events and as usual, many of our classmates were talking. After the discussion, Joni Joy said that we will have a quiz. The reactions of my classmates were very negative and because of this, Joni scolded every body which made us silent for that moment. That day was really dramatic, but what happened the day after that was three times more dramatic than the other day.
Our first subject was Reading and the “teachers” were GRACE,Gerardo and Isabel. The lesson was all about “irony”. After the discussion, Gerardo instructed us to group ourselves into five, he said that we would have an activity about “irony”. We divided the board into seven and wrote 5 sentences that contains “irony”. Each of the group members did well except for Ann Rey, she was just laughing and a drew a smiley face on the board which made Gerardo angry and said something bad to her. After that, GRACE said to us to read the selection “The Teargas Men”. Every time the word “McCoy” is red, some of my classmates including Ann Rey would laugh which made Gerardo very angry and scolded everybody. Ann Rey feedback to Gerardo and said that we have a right to laugh which made Gerardo silent for a moment. I knew that at those times, he was already depressed.
This made me conclude that being a teacher is a really a hard job and people need to respect one another so there won't be any conflict.

"Miss Mgda"

What is love?Have you ever been in loved?How does it feel, does it hurt or not?
Here in U.P.(University of the Philippines), I found love and fell in love with a girl. I am afraid that you'll know who she is,so to avoid myself from public humiliation,I'll make a codename for her and the codename is “Miss Mgda”
I started falling in love with her during I was sitting down on my grandfather's chair listening to a song while thinking of her. I did not really know what was the title of that old song but the lyrics that really hit me was this:
I wouldn't be here if I didn't love you.....
I wouldn't be here if I didn't care............
The reason why this words hit me because she was my “Savior”. I did not love her because she's pretty,I love her because she really has a kind heart and full of grace. She has helped me many times, for example,when sir said that we would pay Php50 for the special project and if a student can't pay in the deadline which is on that same day, she/he would have a low score. In those times, I really tried to borrow money from my fellow classmates. No one was able to let me borrow money except “her”,she just came near me and gave me Php50. I was really happy at that time because I was able to pay sir but at those times, I haven't got any feelings for her yet, she was just my friend, I think. She was also the first person on U.P. I first communicated with.
Those were the main reasons why I love her and the other reasons why I love her because she loves to play computer games and she is not a sissy girl.
At those times, I can still go near her and talk to her but now, I can't. She already knows that I have a big crush on her.
It all started when I went to Odchigue asking him who is his crush but he did not answer until I told mine accidentally. Because of this, I made Odchigue to sing his secret. Later on that week, I went to Ariel and asked who's his(I so “ChizimsZ”). He said to me immediately who's his crush was and in return, I told him the crushes of Odchigue and Rieland. Ariel then said to Jen Rose the crush of Odchigue. Rieland then came to Jen and said he already knew who was the crushes of Odchigue even though he doesn't really know,he was just trying to trick Jen Rose and unfortunately,she was triked. Then Rieland said to someone I don not know that Oschigue has a crush on “pot” and “pooot”. That someone told almost everybody about it and because of this, Odchigue also spreaded mine as well.
Now that everybody knows, I can no longer talk to her or even just go near her,which makes me very very sad. There are also times when here friend teases her whenever I'm around. And whenever her friend tease her, I fell glad for a moment but as I have noticed that she, “Miss Mgda”,isn't. This also makes me sad as well because whenever she is sad, it also makes me sad as well.
I guess love for me is really hard to get and it really does hurt especially when the one you love doesn't love you.

Math

Math,based on the dictionary, it means that it is the the science of space,number,and quantity but for me, it is the easiest subject if all subjects if you understand it but if you don't, it is like smelling the armpit of Ian!
When i was still an elementary student,I was one of the best solvers of Math problems, whenever there are math contests,me and my former classmates Aian(which is now in Sci. High)and Andre(which is in section Villamor)are the contestants. I may not be the best but I was good enough to have a high grade in my elementary years. I was really that close on betting them but they were too good for me.
Those elementary years were very fun and relaxing, especially our Math subject, in those days, Math for me was just like taking a candy from a silly little baby.
I wished those days would not change but unfortunately, it did change. Those days were gone. It all started here in my present school, The University of the Philippines. In the first week of school, we were just trying ti know each other. Then in the next week, we formally started our class. All subjects were just fine except for Soc. Sci( I don't wanna talk about it). It was also not hard when I heard what was the first topic in Math, it was about converting measurements. Many schooldays past, and whenever the subject is Math, I don't listen to Dr. Ereno(our teacher in Math and present Asst. Dean of our school), I just think about stuffs. But there cane one day, our teacher said that we would haves long test, and as usual I did not listen. “Long Test Day” came and I was confident that I will have a high score. He gave us the Test Papers and when I looked at it ,my eyes dilated so much that if there was an eagle flying trough my face, it will be trapped in my eyes,the test he gave ti us was no longer about converting measurements, it was already about square root. I was already sweating at that time, I did not know what to do, o forced my eye to look at the teat paper of my classmates, but I just can't because I know it would be a very bad sin and if I'll get caught, I'll be suspended. As minutes go by,I got more tensed. Then the bell rang and I had no answers in my paper. I just sat down in my chair wishing I could go back through time, if I have only listened to our teacher instead of day dreaming about toys, games and etc. , I could have answered all those questions immediately.
Second Sem. came and Md m. Nunez was our new teacher. This time I listened to her but still, I could not catch up of what I didn't know during the 1st Sem.. Which made me very angry. There was one day I cried not because my crush busted me or a bully punched me, it was because I really had a low score in our test, in that same day, my soccer team also lost a game which made me very depressed. While I was crying, I thought of something good, I said to my self that I really need someone to teach me personally and that someone is Rhomphete(a 3rd year student here and the present boyfriend of Jazya).
I wish that through him, I can catch up with Math and have better scores.
This is what I meant about Math, it is like heaven if you understand it but if you don't, you will be crying because of the truth that you will have a low grade in this subject.
