First thing in the morning, I’m with my co-student teacher-Edylyn, Jelyn, Camille, Shaina, Rendelle, Ej, Clarisse, and Asma. As we stepped into Magsaysay National High School, the air, the calmness of the place, the nature view surrounded by mountains and trees, the students who are smiling with us, like observing us through insights of their respective classrooms and the teachers who welcomed us, as we are about to introduce our self to the teachers, the head teacher was oriented us to understand our rules and behavior, what we would do, and how our immersion will be. When the head teacher is assigning us to who our supervisor, I was assign with Ma’am Marife Calamba she informed me what time her classes and her subject are, I was so excited because the subject I was assign is I am comfortable with and easy to handle. While it was vacant time I am preparing myself because I believe that it was hard handling every student for their behavior and I know that patience mus be long, and understand what truly the students are. In my first class, I introduced my self and informing the students to don’t criticize too much, respect is a must and understand me and my co-student teacher. The best happening’s this day is the students are very talkative to me, questioning about what our life and the curiosity they have in our situation as a senior high student. I was glad because I feel like I get their vibes and it was nice calling me Ms. Nicole. I learned that to be a student teacher or teacher is not about teaching, it is about to understand much more than just someone who imparts our knowledge. They often serve as our mentors, guides, and even sometimes surrogate parents to us students. They shape young minds, instill our values, and inspire lifelong learning.

In our last day, I’m late and I suppose to have class in school when my co-work immersion student teacher message me and she tell me to be at Magsaysay National High School and I immediately go there. When I entered the school, Im with my co-student teacher- Edylyn, Caalik,  and Asma. Remembering it was my last day, I would love to cherish my experience and remembering my classes to order every student to have quite and I see the G8 Marigold going to NNCHS to have some assessment to do and my teacher is together with them. I ask the other teacher if Ma’am Marife Calamba have a task to give me and they tell me to have keep an eye on Ma’am Marife Calamba students until end of time. Some students ask me if it was my last day and they ask me if it’s okay to have a picture with me, As we captured our moments, chitchatting with the students are the best and they also ask me what I am gonna take in my college. And in afternoon her students is helping the designer to have their stage beautiful because tomorrow is the event where the new principal is taking over the school. And in last period, the G9 Sapphire is having their classroom clean and I managed them to clean their room because some of their classmates is not helping. And in the end of the time I was waiting until the time and passing the rating sheet to Ma’am Marife Calamba. As we bid goodbye to the students, I’ve realized that I survived together with my co-student teachers and I thank my supervisor Ma’am Marife Calamba and the other teachers who guide us through our journey. Cherished every moments and in Magsaysay National High School I made a  friendship that it was not easy to forget, the lessons that I’ve had each day and the memories that we made with my students. I learned that as a student-teacher or teacher teaches invaluable lessons of patience, understanding, and mutual respect. It emphasizes the importance of communication, empathy, and continuous learning. It highlights the significance of mentorship, guidance, and fostering growth with the students and other teacher, and sharing memories as we capture each day. Overall, it embodies the essence of collaboration, growth, and the power of education to shape lives.
