NARRATIVE REPORT

The program started with preliminaries through audio visual presentation of a

prayer and singing of the national anthem as well the CSU Hymn. The seminar

officially commenced through the welcome message from our very own pre-service

teacher, an intern from Obrero Central Elementary School Ms. Josie Flor Cavite.

Excitement flooded through the entire venue as she welcomes everyone present on

the said event. With the welcome message making everyone feel giddy, came the

statement of purpose from another pre-service teacher who finished his internship at

Butuan Central Elementary School, Mr. Jerdan Paul I. Betco. He stated that this

seminar holds much importance and relevance for us as we are to embark on this

journey sooner or later. Much has been said and at this point, we had Ms. Rowena

A. Pitogo, a pre-service teacher who finished her internship at Ampayon Central

Elementary School. She did the privilege of introducing the speakers for this

seminar. Describing the speakers as inspirational, was truly a spot on thing to say.

“Shoot for the moon”.

Starting off the seminar was our first speaker, Miss. Roxanne Joyce Salinas

who ranked 10th in the 2023 March 2023 Licensure Examination for Teachers. She

took the challenge of sharing significant points on the topic “Journey Towards

Becoming an LPT”. She shared seven steps in topping the licensure exam which

wasn’t just helpful but also inspiring to hear. First was “Begin with an End in Mind”

telling us that discipline and setting your goals straight and clear is a must in the

entire process. The second was to “Plan Strategically” this means that every

decision you make in the process of preparing for the exam should be planned and

this involves how you spend your time and what resources to invest in. Along with

this is her advice to organize the subjects you wish to study one by one and one

important thing is to invest in a review center. Third is “Know Yourself” which

emphasizes your personal preference in learning. Fourth is “Manage Your Time”

which tells us to utilize the time we have and make use of it wisely. Fifth was to

“Never be afraid to walk alone” she said that part of the entire process is losing track

of your usual enjoyment and hangouts with peers, with this, we should never be

afraid to face the journey in a different path than that of others. Sixth is to “Manage

Your Stress” she didn’t forget to remind us that the pressure will be there, the stress

will demand to be felt and the negative thoughts might strike, during these

challenging times, it is important to find different ways of managing this stress and

not lose focus on the true goal. Last but definitely not the least was her advice to

“Surrender Everything to the Lord”. Truly when everything already feels so heavy,

there is only God you can run to.

Around 9:50 am, the interns from Butuan Central Elementary School

performed an intermission number where they showed off their dancing skills. Their

performance also served a quick break before the second speaker starts his speech.
