CED (college of education)

Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
You made room for me but it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to

Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well,
but you make this hard on me

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving
I'm gonna need a better reason
To write you a love song today

I learned the hard way
That they all say things you want to hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and
Your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry

Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

I'm not gonna write you a love song

Promise me that you'll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
'cause I believe there's a way you can love me
Because I say

I won't write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this

Is that why you wanted a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay

If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that
There's a reason to
Write you a love song today

last thursday January 31, 2008 was CED day

Toni Rose Piñero (to be submitted on tuesday)

There were two emotions that stood up in me on CED DAY: Euphoria and Nostalgia.

 

I was overwhelmed today because I saw my block mates perform for the 3^rd consecutive year and participate actively in CED Day every year. I am so proud of them especially because they get to represent Educational Psychology and our block. Every performance is just amazing. I also felt ecstatic because TWO from our department won awards, with Miss Lara receiving the “Student’s Choice Award for CEPD” and Sir Magno receiving the “Teacher for the Day” (against ALL the departments!) haha. I am so so so so proud of CEPD and EPSY family, I have always been. I remember talking to Sir Magno recently and proudly telling him that we nominated him for CED day. He rebutted and told me “Matatalo kayo, kase mas madami ung kabila [you will lose because the other department has more students”. I strongly objected telling him that is not true, and told him we will make it happen. And surprise surprise! He really did win!!

 

Along side with all this excitement I also felt emo because it kept crossing my mind that this will be the last CED DAY for us. I’m going to miss my block, CED, CEPD and remaining EPSY friends. I felt nostalgic, reminiscing the 2 past CED days we have experienced. Every year was special. After the activity, I also felt bad because when I went to the department to give the other teachers the flowers I asked them why they weren’t there to watch us perform. They said that they weren’t awareL. Huhuhu… It’s like your parents not being able to watch your recital.

 

Teacher’s Day.

I still can’t believe that I’m graduating and I am in College of Education. In relation to Teaching Profession, I think the best part in being a teacher is: ‘Knowing that your students will remember you for the rest of their lives’. Not because of bad memories, it’s because you have taught them good things that are unintentionally learned inside the classroom. Things that are not written in lesson plans.

 

Although Sir Magno says that he’s was embarrassed on stage and he did not cry when he received the award… I can really feel and see in his face his appreciation and I just know he will miss our batch . Especially CEPD because if we leave na, the faculty will be quiet na. No more students regularly dropping by the department.

 

The Feeling of Fulfillment as a Teacher.

I believe that numbers written on report or course cards, are really not authentic assessments of evaluating if students have learned anything from you or not. I think that you don’t feel the fulfillment every end of the term but you have to wait long term for the outcome. When you see that your students grow up to be successful, that is when you can really say that “I am a good teacher”.

 

 

Hi Toni! That's a nice group picture! :D And I think you'll make a great teacher one day. :D
