“It doesn’t matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop. This line tells me much to push harder and harder even there is a lot of hindrances along the way.”
The evening chilly breeze rushes by at the window as I review for my examinations. Despite this, I am troubled by who will I interview for this performance check. As I prepared the questions, I decided to browse my Facebook account to find who is online at that time. After a few minutes, I decided to play “eenie meanie” on my close friend's list to select which person to interview. My hands continue to rummage through it and stopped when I finished the nursery rhyme. Then, I instantly clicked the profile and contemplate for a while whether is it the right decision or not. Before I knew it, I messaged the person I selected asking if she is up for an interview. Luckily, she is still online and greets me with a good evening. Unfortunately, she said she cannot make it up that night since she is busy and also preparing to tutor her students the next day. As soon as she said that I was bothered. But she also said that I can interview her through chats so I immediately sent her the questions. Our friendship began since we attend the same church and I recently became close to her. Jialyn Legaspi whom I most refer to call “Ate Jia” is a humble, supportive and likable person. I look up about her as elder sister, she helped me a lot and motivated me in my studies.
Miss Jialyn Legaspi is a professional teacher. Graduated with a Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Educational Media Technology in 2018 at Central Bicol State University of Agriculture (CBSUA). She was one of the licensed professional teachers who passed this January in the current year. When faced with adversity, Ms. Jialyn Legaspi has the tenacity to overcome an array of obstacles and still be passionate. One of her assets is her genuine enthusiasm for teaching, which is one of her dreams. She enjoys sharing her experience and the knowledge and understanding she has gained on her path because it has made her feel whole. Reading her responses to the questions reveals how dedicated and genuine she is about her vocation.
With regards of her profession, she also emphasized that life is not centered on money or any tangible things. Knowing that her students learned from her is one of the best rewards of her chosen profession. Just a simple thank you from her students can melt heart though it is a simple phrase but it could not describe how much delighted she is. She says “One of the best perks is that they are learning from you. You see them molding their lives until they succeed.” Her lines shape the way; teachers are more than just teachers. Teachers do more than just teach; they also equip us for the road ahead. Their influence and efforts go beyond the classroom. Some say, "those who can, do, and those who can't, teach." Nothing could have been further from the truth, for what teachers have done has helped us understand the nature of the subject while also creating a path in our life.
Prior to becoming a teacher, she pursued methods to increase her prospects for the future in order to support her family. It is challenging for her to be a mother to her younger siblings while also working. Since her mother's death, this has been a watershed moment in Ate Jia's life. She was indeed the breadwinner for her family, and she, like other hired employees, started at the bottom with a limited wage. Regardless of the difficulties she faced, she never let them stop her from pursuing her goal.
"It doesn't matter how slowly you go, as long as you don't stop," she remarked. Her life quote shows that even if there are many hurdles along the road. We need to move forward, even though some significant people have left. Our lives are not dependent on others, but solely on ourselves. One thing I have learned from her is that we must survive our own combats because it is the most fulfilling vengeance we can take in life.
