Hot summer Philippines, a blessed Sunday to all. We just come from the church with my children, its getting hotter outside so I relax on my bed and scroll pictures on my phone 'til I pause in this group pictures of my Grade 9 advisory class during their quarterly recognition of achievers.

I remember all them under me and of course those happy memories with them including those endeavors for those with poor academic performance and even committed offenses violating the school rules, calling their parents to ask their help as to motivate their very own children to do good in school. Now that its already summer vacation, I miss them all but at the same time happy especially they are all promoted to Grade 10 by the next school year.

This is Jean the top 1 in class and rank the second among all Grade 9 students of 16 sections with more than 50 heads per class. Very small but terrible in her innate intelligence. She can't be the best in communication but superb in logic and analysis.

John Patrick one of the school's heartrobs, a member of the Boy Scout Team and known of his good heart aside from his good looks and intelligence.

With me is Jecho, intelligent and with a very cool behaviour who happened to like Jean but Jean got engage to another classmate. That is, a teacher not only imparts advices about schooling but everything as to the case that I even share my own love story to him so that he can bear the pain without affecting his studies and even advised also Jean separately how to react with her classmate boyfriend in front of the class where Jecho can be one of the audience.

This is a teacher's true role being a second mother. And even with student's problem at home with their parents, the teacher can feel also the burden of the child and the teacher still think the student's shared problem when she arrives home facing another problems of her very own children.

Missing you all guys, aim higher everyone! I'm happy to see your success someday. This is your pretty adviser.😆

felicitas
