That Three Day Jitters


High Schoolers of Don Bosco Starting the School Year with a Bang...
For many students, first day of classes can seem to be an extremely overwhelming and exceedingly frightful event. They wish to know who their teachers are going to be. The students are on the lookout for those teachers who would be the terrorists, the nonchalant, or the ones they will truly love. They also seem to be nervous about their classmates. They keep on asking as to who would be their great friends, who are the ones who can make their lives miserable, the class clown, the silent one, etc. However, as much as the first day of class is an eventful day on the part of the students, it is also as eventful as that of the students on the part of the teacher. I, for one, considered this kind of an experience not just a first day jittery event, but one that lasted for as long as three days.

Perhaps, the most dreadful experience I've ever had was the first day of class. Finally, I will be meeting my Grade 7- Kesy students. Right before coming to school, I felt as if there where butterflies in my stomach. There was this nauseating feeling that I just seem to cannot get rid of. Finally, the bell rang and I met the boys. Eventually, I realized that there is no need to be too nervous after all. They looked like angels (or perhaps it was just the first day of class after all…). There was a program in the gymnasium, and the tension was eased. On the second day, I felt a certain tension once again for I would have to be with my advisory class again for the entire day explaining the policies of the school. It was difficult, but I am hoping that I did my job well. On the third day, I met with the other sections to orient them regarding my subject (by the way, I am an English teacher). I oriented them, and if I am going to evaluate everything, they seem to be interested with my subject.

Over-all, I still do not know what to expect for the entire school year. It my first time after all to teach High School students. However, I firmly believe that at this point in my life, I am at the right place and at the right time, and I aim to do my best no matter what.

5 Reasons why you should be a Bosconian

Imahe
If you are looking for something different and unique, I think Don Bosco- Canlubang is the right place for you. I do not want to talk anymore about the quality of education that this school has or the great facilities that it already possesses. What I really want to talk about is the character which I think that this school alone has. Let me give you 5 reasons why a young person like you should be a Bosconian. 1. Bosconians are God-Centered. What is the point of having all the knowledge in the world if we Bosconians do not have God in our life. Bosconians are Men and Women who love God and love everything about God. For a Bosconian, God is not someone high up in the air who can't be reached. Rather, God is someone who accompanies us every day in our victories and struggles. For us, it is cool to be friends with Jesus. 2. Bosconians are Socially Responsible. Bosconians do not live in a cloud, but we are rooted to the ground and are vigilant to w

You Know You're in Don Bosco When...

Imahe
A Bosconian will always think of Don Bosco (I am referring to the school, Parish, or Youth Center) as a home. It is our one and true home as a Bosconian. And whether you are a Bosconian from a certain Don Bosco setting and you chanced to visit a different one, you cannot but still feel a sense of kinship. This is an experience of mine in my trips to different Don Bosco settings. I began to wonder why there is always a sense of affinity as I go from one Don Bosco setting to the other. After much careful musings, I think I was able to realize why. Different Don Bosco settings share similar characteristics and it is so effective in forming young people to be good Christians and honest citizens. So my dear friends, you know you're in Don Bosco when… 1. There is a big and open space The reason behind the big and open space is for Bosconians to be able to run, jump, shout, and make noise. Bosconians need a big space so that they can enjoy themselves and enjoy the company o

A Complete Bosconian's Guide for a New School Year

Imahe
The summer season is almost over, and the time has come again to prepare ourselves for the upcoming school year. The previous school years have a lot of things to teach us as students. Now is the time for us once again to start fresh and be a better version of ourselves. Let me give you 5 simple tips to better prepare yourself for the coming school year. 1. Organize your things First and foremost, it is our duty as Bosconians to be the ones accountable for our own things. Although we have our parents to prepare for our stuff, it is not their duty but ours. We should be the ones viewing our checklist of school materials whether we have completed it or not. It is but time that we take some responsibility for ourselves. 2. Mentally prepare yourself Aside from preparing ourselves physically, you have to set your mind that the summer season is almost over. We must avoid a gloomy face because summer is ending. Rather, we must put on a smiling countenance and be optimistic for
