A Teacher's Reflections

Abstract

I wish I were a teacher of the English language,

They are also called “elite,” like the French.

Professional and intellectual too,

Their knowledge is high,

They are called educated.

 

 

I wish I were a teacher of Mathematics,

Only numbers and problems,

It really seems difficult!

If someone is good in that field,

He is truly intelligent.

 

I wish I were a teacher of Science,

It explains everything,

Technology develops here,

And phenomena are solved,

So everything falls under it.

 

In God’s eyes, everyone is equal,

Every person has life,

Each one is given

Understanding as a guide,

Wisdom, ability,

And godly goodness.

 

“Multiple intelligences,” have you heard of it?

People are intelligent in different ways,

Even in their abilities at work,

What gives them their “best”

Is the field of their discipline?

A truly intelligent person excels there.

 

Science and technology

Are the culture and life of the masses;

How can we achieve it?

If there is no awareness?

Isn’t our native language

The best in discussions like this?

Yes, indeed!

 

My culture is honorable and a natural treasure,

My language also fits my identity,

So do not judge my language

As the reason

For the youth’s preference for foreign languages,

Some teachers contribute to that.

 

I am a Filipino teacher,

Chosen as a Filipino, my actions are Filipino,

I am not ordinary,

What I value

Is not only the Filipino language?

Not only Filipino culture,

But the FILIPINO RACE itself!!!
