“Matiwasay na Lipunan” By Mary Vince Niere – Gumahad , Teacher 1 Bulua National High School
There is always something exciting about teaching. I always feel that before I go to the class. No boring moments for me. Students are here because they know there is something fun and good inside the class. And I know that I am part of that something fun and good, even exciting. As I prepare my activity, I plan of something different and interesting. (Another way to kill a cat maybe, because as they say, there are many ways to kill it). We all want our students to learn. But sometimes we miss the essential part and that is how to make learning challenging and enjoyable. (I still hate trigonometry because I was forced to solve it without understanding what I was doing.) So I plan of something worth doing. Aha! It’s nutrition month! It’s July. People are talking about food. What food tastes good, what food contains good cholesterol, what food makes us fat, food that causes gallstones, and what food makes us beautiful? Wow! So let’s talk about your favourite food. Gee, I got most hands up. Students were eager to talk about their favourite food. They were happy talking about it. I saw a shy boy at the back. He saw me and he smiled. I saw he exaggerated his lips, and I got it perfectly! “Sinugba!”. That’s it! Before its time to say goodbye class, I asked them to bring a recipe of their favourite food. A girl asked, “ Ok lang dessert, Maam?” ( Is it alright if I bring a recipe for dessert, Maam?) “Of course, Girl!” I see most students early the following day. After the Morning Prayer, most of them were holding their recipes. I see the eagerness in their eyes. When I asked students to raise the hands of those who have recipes, most hands raised up. Only those who were absent yesterday weren’t able to bring recipe. We talked about what a recipe contains. It contains ingredients and procedure. We recalled about our previous activity. We have identified what makes a peaceful community. That a peaceful community needs to have people who understand each other, show respect, and they must be law abiding. Can we possibly combine the two activities? Can we make a recipe of a peaceful community? “Will it be possible?” “Can we give it a try?” Silence… Students were quite. They looked at their recipes. They start scribbling. I see them writing. I see them giving a try. I looked around, checked what they were writing. Wow! They are my miracles! They think they can do it and so they are doing it! I am overwhelmed! And because my heart overflows, I want to share my joy with you. That you may be believe that you can do it. That you will believe that others can do it. Believe and it will happen! Here’s one of the best works I got! May you be blessed reading this. “Recipe para sa Matiwasay na Lipunan” By: WINDEL GONZALES Grade 9 – Diamond (BNHS) Mga Sangkap: 3 pcs.
