 In an adverse instance, some of the facilities were under construction.
So, we never had able to observe it. In the library for instance, all books
were just stored in a single room, not properly arranged and are being
just stocked there.

 C. AFTER READING THE SCHOOL’S VISION, MISSION AND GOALS, I REALIZED THAT:
There is a great impact of quality education in the development of
every student and this will become possible through the help of
effective teachers who will shape students’ mind and transform
students’ deviant behavior, to make students the best individual
and contributor of sustainable development of the country. I
realized also that as a teacher, you should also help students to
have morally upright values because this contributes to the
advancement of every learner.

D. I NEED TO INTERNALIZE AND INTEGRATE THESE IN MY LESSON BY:

Strive more so that I can contribute to the attainment of the
Vision, Mission, Goals, and Objectives (VMGO) of my cooperating
school and to the sustainable development of the country.
I need also to practice, cooperate, and discover trending notions
and ideas about teaching so that I will exemplify the quality of an
effective teacher

MY REFLECTION / MY INSIGHTS
A. ANSWER THE QUESTION BELOW.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR SECOND HOME?

My second home is the home for improvement, wherein I could

able to acquire some of the skills which I could use in my
profession—to cure the deadly malady of ignorance in the
contemporary world. It was tear-jerking to see the scenario in
public schools, the life of every Filipino who struggle for education,
who struggle for their dreams and who struggle for their own
visions in life. These struggles reflect to you as a pre-service
teacher, and these propel you how to help them in their needs.

As it was said, life in public schools mirrors the life of the majority
of Filipinos. Because in this institutions you see students who need
to work every weekend just to have allowance for their school
days. You see parents who sell delicacies outside the school for
their kids studying hard inside. You witness tears and joys.

This is the life which I also want to experience—to see the

students who will never give up for their dreams. For the better
tomorrow and to uplift their life someday.
