Whenever I heard the word demonstration, I always have this notion that it would

be tiresome and a burden in my part. Most of the time, I listen to students’ complaints
on how much money they had spent in a demonstration for the instructional materials,
the detailed lesson plan that they will have to accomplish as well as the perfect outfit on
such task. Because of that, I had my so called ‘grudge for the said demonstration but
that is due to the mentioned factors and not on the emotional stress that it would instill
me.
Unfortunately, as a teacher, I know that I will always experience that in school.
And now is the ‘lucky time’, as part of our requirement, I felt that bigger obligation was
placed on me specially that I were assigned to teach grade 7 Newton not the grade7
Einstein.
Let’s begin the real story...
The time has come! I felt to haggard that day. I woke up early to finalize my
lesson plan, last to the minute. I decided to modify it again. I inserted video clips review
and motivation. I deleted some activities like board word and group work task to
maximize the time of my demo.
I went to school at 6:00 am to prepare for the set up of my demo. I felt it was an
execution day for me. I had to wait for Ms. Carada to borrow a projector that I will be
using in my presentation. So while I was waiting for Ms. Carada, I went to laboratory to
set up everything but unfortunately, the room that we were going to use that day was
assigned for those who took the final exam for students’ ranking so I have to wait until
they finish.
Around 8:30 am, I called one of my students to sure if they will come. I ask them
that I need at least 30 student to participate. But surprisingly, all of them attended. They
were 42 in all. While waiting, I ask them their full participation and cooperation to
become behave during my demo. And they promise me that they will behave and
behave as long as they can and I’m flattered to them. They were wishing me good luck
and telling that I can do.
When times become nearer… my adrenalin was getting low. I felt that I was lost
my composure due to what happen that they. I was the second demonstrator that day
and they about to finish the 1st demonstration so I get nervous.
 Now is my turn…
As the principal, cooperating teacher and our supervisor enter the room, there
was a feeling that I can’t explain. These feelings and emotions last as my demonstration
finished until I heard those good comments from these experienced individuals that
makes me feel better.
Thanks God! I am so proud of myself and happiness is really overflowing on me.

This demo is for the hard works,

it had paid off.
