Finding the best place to write...

SPEAK your mind...TEACH people...TOUCH lives...

As a freelance writer and teacher in writing, I have encountered some problems which hinders the continuous flow of thoughts while doing a certain assignment, especially if you are to meet certain deadlines and quotas in writing. This video, somehow, has given me idea in my budding writing career. Likewise, it has helped me a lot, particularly in setting my mind into the writing mode. I hope this, too, will give you the necessary ideas to succeed in your own career. Happy viewing!

MY NIHONGO CLASS

SPEAK your mind...TEACH people...TOUCH lives...

Several weeks ago, we i started attending this free Nihongo class in our school. For weeks now, I have always been present in the class. But this week, sad to say, I absent myself. Panu naman kasi? Yung mga fellow teachers ko, hindi rin sila pumasok. Eh nakakahiya naman kasi na ako lang mag-isa ang papasok..Puro estudyante kaya namin yung mga kasama ko..So I decided not to attend anymore.

I have this guilty feeling because ever since I started schooling, wayback in 1990 for my elementary days to the day of my graduation in college in 2004 , i haven't been absent to any of my classes, unless for official business. Unlike most of students in the regular public high school, I consider every absent I make as a loss in me. Loss in the possible lessons that I would miss, loss of the experiences that I might encounter while discussing a particular topic, loss in my personality.

Students, or shall I say learners like me, who are really eager to learn consider every meeting in every subject a gain in their investment to education. Though after the subject period I will not be given a grade in my Nihongo class and will not be given any recognition, like what I received during those earlier days of my student life, I would stil take this class seriously. The ideas and lessons that I gain here will further enhance my character, not only as a techer, but also a citizen of the world who needs to interact with others. The experience in this Nohongo class will be a precious belonging that even rich people will not own. Thanks to the governments of Philippines and Japan for this opportunity. And thanks to Shino Sensei!
