Fifty-Four Days

It is fifty-four days before the end of the school year. It is an effort to shift to the old-school calendar, gradually. With the number of learners in each class, kids get sick due to the heat of the summer month.

It is fifty-four days before the guaranteed one-month vacation when educators are not allowed to report at the call of superiors nor be at the school’s premises.

Today was my third class observation for the school year. One to go, and I will have the right to say, let’s rock! I am grateful for God’s wisdom. The master teacher in charge indicated straight sevens (being the highest) for all the indicators. I owe everything to the Lord for giving me strength and perseverance.

It is fifty-four days before I bid goodbyes to the different smiles, tantrums, and joys exhibited by my forty-three learners.

It is a journey full of challenges, little and big triumphs, and learnings.

Then, I can start with my reading sessions and some literary projects.

I Think I’ll Always See

Where some dreams will come true.

A quick visit to mahogany trees we planted a decade ago.

Comes with a grateful heart.

There is a sense of wonder and makes me feel the need to be kinder.

Much of patience.

More loving.

More understanding.

Trees stand tall and powerful.

May seem vulnerable but definitely strong.

Maybe

Maybe he is not lost anymore,

Maybe he found his way home, anyway,

Maybe he is into something, who knows?

Why did he wait for so long years?

Years that my fingers could not count,

Maybe I am the one who is hurting,

Unhealed with indescribable emotions,

What iis wrong with the brothers these days?

My feet are heavy to go home.

My heart desires to be under the sheets where am I now.

Wanting to be under a shade of a tree too,

Or alone in a long journey, maybe..

*the older brother went home the other day. The other brother was discharged at late night from hospital adminission after five days

After First Four Days

It has been four days since the Christmas vacation commenced. It is tantamount to the days how my brother had his third hospitalization this last quarter of the year. Awaiting for some tests before the physician’s order for discharge, hopefully.

Last year as per my blog entry, the SRI was released on December 28. This year, it was scheduled earlier than last year. See, that blog entry helped me remember the date. At 1 to 5 pm today, the incentive will be distributed by district in the division office.

Hittin the sack for tomorrow’s early shift in the hospital.
