My Reflections/ My Insights

ANSWER THE QUESTION BELOW.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR SECOND HOME?
My second home is the home for improvement, wherein I could able to
acquire some of the skills which I could use in my profession—to cure the deadly
malady of ignorance in the contemporary world. It was tear-jerking to see the
scenario in public schools, the life of every Filipino who struggle for education, who
struggle for their dreams and who struggle for their own visions in life. These
struggles reflect to you as a pre-service teacher, and these propel you how to help
them in their needs. As it was said, life in public schools mirrors the life of the
majority of Filipinos. Because in this institution you see students who need to work
every weekend just to have allowance for their school days. You see parents who
sell delicacies outside the school for their kids studying hard inside. You witness
tears and joys. This is the life which I also want to experience—to see the students
who will never give up for their dreams. For the better tomorrow and to uplift their
life someday.
