December of 2010 when I submitted a resignation letter to the administration of MUHS. By then, I wanted to go back to the chemical industry. Yes, I did went back! I did went to Manila to start a job as a chemical engineer in a cosmetic manufacturing company. But then again, it did not do me any good. I missed home, I missed my store, I missed my friends, and most especially, I missed my students. All I wanted to do was to go home and get back to my old routine.
But I did't get back to my old routine. Instead, I spent months giving time to myself searching for what I really want. Then my previous colleagues encouraged me to go back to MUHS. I got to think, why not? I missed the students, I missed teaching them, I missed laughing with them, I missed scolding them, and I missed fighting with them! So, I did got back!
Now that I'm here for months, it's about time to rethink of spending another school year in this place I already considered home. But based from my experiences this current school year, I realized that I couldn't anymore. I realized that I couldn't stretch my patience with the kids nowadays. They are just so different from the kids I had before!
For my kids before were rowdy yet manageable,
naughty yet sweet,
and mischievous yet respectful.
Kids nowadays are a far cry from what I had two years ago. And as I go back to these old photos in FB, I reconsidered to look for a reason to stay. But as I face the kids in my classes, I regret to say that I really couldn't.

Maybe because I'm getting older that's why my patience is not that much as I had before.

Or maybe it is because of my negative attitude toward the kids that kept them from liking me.

Can I still turn back the time when I was once called a Ma'amy, a Ma'ama, and a Ma'amsky?

Or is it about time to move forward to a higher level of group of students?
I may had never said this but I'm sure I had showed them
that I love them too and I still miss them so.....
And as for the reason to stay? Sad to say, I haven't found any at all (after the reconsiderations, talks,and effort). :(
