My Journey In Pres. Corazon C. Aquino Elementary School

 

At five years old, I enrolled in a very large school. Pres. Corazon C. Aquino Elementary School  Although it's not my first school, but it is our second home.

Teacher Mercy Ruz was my first teacher. She is a kind, caring, and compassionate teacher. She teaches in reading, writing, and counting. She also assisted me in getting over my phobia of speaking in front of the class. In kindergarten, I was awarded the Star Reader Award and the Batang Masigasig Award. Having my parents present at my moving up ceremony makes me feel quite overwhelmed.

I'm delighted to start elementary school after my years in Kinder. My grade 1 teacher,is Teacher Felly Sucgang,.   She is kind, compassionate, and caring, but sometimes a little bit strict much like Teacher Mercy. She teaches us the qualities of growing up responsibly. She wants us to concentrate on what she's teaching. As I recall, there are moments when I truly struggle to complete a task. When she saw me crying, she consoled me by telling me everything was alright. If you are not capable of doing it, don't push yourself. I love her and I learned a lot from her.

Apart from this. In first grade, I also earned my yellow belt in Taekwondo.

All of a sudden, everything was different. I recalled that Daddy visited us. When my family and I returned home from our wonderful getaway at Ocean Park, a strange incident happened that I truly don't understand. I've heard rumors from the elderly that we're about to be attacked by a virus, but I'm not sure what that means. Days have gone by, and something seems off. Next, my mother and I are getting ready for my seventh birthday. She insisted that I celebrate my seventh birthday at Jollibee. I was ecstatic, until something unexpected occurred. With the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic or corona virus, people began to feel uneasy. Nobody is sure how to start or what to do. President Rodrigo Duterte announced lockdown one week before my birthday celebration, and my party was canceled. I felt terrified. Holding out. feeling confused. What's taking place? What makes everyone seem so different?

I don't understand why we weren't prepared for school after months had gone. Why is it forbidden for us to go outside? I am unable to play, see my cousin in person, or engage in any of my regular activities. Above all, it appears that my mother has no intention of sending me to school. What's taking place?

Mommy started explaining it to me after hearing about it on the news, even though it seems like she keeps working.

At last,  that was October.  And our learning modality set in to online class. Its my second grade.  And Teacher Sheila Mae T. Barba was my teacher.  Aside from her, we have 5 more subject teachers.  We are all adjust with the new modality of learning.  We don’t go to school but lots of school works need to be done.  I miss my classmates so much.  And I miss the activities that I usually do.  As we get along,  we are now trying to adopt the new world.  And I begin to used in to it.  I also began to like it anyway. 

After that, one day, my mother let me join the International Math Olympiad. I doubt that I will be able to make it. I was more than prepared to confront it head-on, thanks to my mother, and trainer, teacher Jacqueline Verbo. Fortunately, when result came. I got a place. I was awarded the Bronze Medal. And I am overjoyed and proud. Especially when, at the flag ceremony, my school honored Rhyken Velasco and me. We had an interview and I'm relieved that I overcame my shyness.

I'm in the third grade, and we truly have no idea how we handled the difficulties we had throughout the previous school year. Now, we have to confront new obstacles this year. Teacher Jojuana Guanzon was my teacher. She was likable to me. She was thoughtful and sweet. Her class was enjoyable. Even the events that we participated in, like the Math Month Celebration when I entered the school's Rubic's Online Competition, are enjoyable to me. My mother got me some Rubics cubes, along with a timer. First place went to me. I'm incredibly proud.  Its also my second time to join HKIMO International Math Olympiad where I got bronze.  Apart from that, I earned my taekwondo blue-low belt. Teacher Jojuana gave me a medal at the end of the school year since I passed with honors!

We haven't seen difficult pandemic periods in a very long time. Children like me can now walk outside and start over with a fresh start. When we step outside, we appear to feel so much better. being in awe of what the outer world has to offer. Finally,  blended learning modality begins, but we still feel uneasy, therefore masks are required. But now that I'm in school, I can finally meet my teachers and classmates in person. We saw another set of modes in which we had classes A and B because we had to pay attention to social distancing.
We think it's unusual, yet fine. We are getting closer to a typical life, at least.

Life goes on, and I'm currently in grade 5 with Teacher Swettie Costamero as my adviser. She is witty, kind, loving, yet stern when it comes to education. I adore and thoroughly appreciate her teaching. Together with my classmates, of course, we had a great time. This year, I participated in the Division meet Taekwondo competition, with my mother serving as my coach. I really enjoyed it, especially after I got my allowance for the Taekwondo Competition. I received a medal with honors at the conclusion of the year, which made me happy.  

I'm in my final year at PCCAES, my second home. Without a doubt, I will miss my alma matter. Of course, there are still months to go before it's over. I'm finding it really challenging this year because there are so many demanding activities, projects, and performance tasks to do. However, I'm confident that we can utilize all of this to better prepare for the seventh grade. At this point, all I wanted was to make the most of my final year of PCCAES schooling and create new experiences with my subject teachers and my devoted adviser teacher, Reygen. I truly want to graduate with honors, so I know I have to work extremely hard to achieve my objective.
