Bagong Kabanata

Isang panibagong yugto ang aking kakaharapin sa buhay, ang pagiging isang lider ng paaralan. 

Inihatid ako ng aking mga kasamahan, kapwa punongguro at mga supervisors sa paaralang aking bagong paglilingkuran, Biyernes, Agosto 1. Bilang pag welcome sa akin, nandoon din ang chairman ng barangay at mga konsehal mga pinuno ng PTA at mga guro sa Atisan Elementary School. Hanggang sa ako na ang magbibigay mensahe bilang bagong pinuno ng paaralan. Marami akong nasambit subalit ito lang ang mga salitang tumatak sa akin at nagbigay ng kaligayahan, nang sambitin ko ang mga salitang, "... at marahil maari ko na ring masambit na magandang araw rin sa aking mga kapwa school heads." Ang saya ko lalo't nakita ko na nagtanguan sila na sumasaangyon na ako ay isa na rin school head. 

Natapos ang araw na iyon sa isang pagpupulong sa mga bagong guro na aking makakasama sa ilang panahon. Hindi naman ako bago sa Atisan, sapagkat unang destino ko bilang guro sa pampublikong paaralan, dito rin ako napapunta. Ngayon, bilang bagong head teacher, dito ulit ako dinala.Sana makapagdala ako ng magandang pagbabago sa paaralan ito.

Heading Towards There

After lunch, I went straight to the office of the principal to look for the latest update at the DepEd website.To keep up to date with the memo and orders I have to open its website.Until the telephone rung, while I am surfing the net.

Good afternoon Sir, this is Polly of the district (our clerk at the district office). Sir Vince, please tell Mr. Vivencio S. Panganiban Jr. that there will be an open ranking at the division office at 2:30p.m today(without knowing, that Sir Vince and Mr. Vivencio is but one and same person,hahaha).So I just said, ok sir, I will tell, thank you.

The moment I dropped the phone, I was shocked. I don't know what to do. I knew, after the open ranking there will be interviewed to be conducted and written examination, I was not prepared. It's good that all original documents were inside my classroom, what if I incidentally brought it home?So, I must go home, but it's good, I didn't.

Around 1:30p.m. I left the school to submit reports at the district office, then went straight to the division office.

We all entered the superintendent's office, we were nine. We brought our original documents. The administrative officers opened that there will be two or three available slots for head teacher. The open ranking started until we came to the part of having the written examination.

My goodness, its not just one but five questions all open ended.

It took me about ten minutes or more to finish the test. 

Then followed by an interview, again I finished it a bit faster. I don't what the exact answer but I just used the knowledge I gained being the teacher-in-charge of the school, the result, I rank 2 partial and unofficial because the written examination result was not yet included, it will be posted tomorrow for the final ranking. 

Thank you Lord for guiding me awhile ago.
