I just wanted to share with everyone something that happened in January. It isn't really big but it was an important milestone in my career as a teacher. On the 25th of January, I was one of the faculty members who were given service awards. Dressed in our barongs, we were presented to the students one by one. I was a ten-year service awardee and I never imagined that I would feel the way I did during the celebration of the eucharist which preceded the awarding. Mixed feelings of gratitude, humility and joy enveloped me. I was so thankful to God for blessing me with so much. Without these blessings I do not think I would have lasted in the teaching profession for this long.
I do not know how long I can still stay in the same institution or in the same profession. With God's will I am planning to follow a different path after a year. In any case, may God continue to bless me that I may continue to be a beacon of light wherever I may be.
To God be the glory!
