  Kumusta ka? Kaya mo pa ba? Nakakaraos ka pa ba? Sana ay nasa maayos kang kalagayan habang binabasa mo ang blog ko.      This is an update about my life. I just want you to know that I'm okay and happy where I am right now. There are a few issues, but they are manageable. This life update of mine is focused on my life now that I am in the world of teaching. Honestly, in my 3 years in the Education Course, I don't feel that I will become a teacher. I don't know if it was just because there was a pandemic and our studies were not in a school setting or if something really went wrong again.      However, this confusion faded away when I started my internship. I get the sensation that I am already a teacher after spending some time sitting and watching in the back of the classroom.

  “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” – C.S. Lewis      This saying reflects who I am today and where I am now. I'm Aldrin Sierra; I dreamed of being a great engineer but am now in the world of teaching. But before everything else, let me go back to the reasons why I chose engineering as a course and profession then.      I was in grade 10 when I needed to decide what course I would take because, upon entering SHS, it was necessary to align the strand to be taken with the chosen course. I know it was a difficult decision for me because I couldn't see myself ten years from now. I knew what I was good at, but it still wasn't enough to be my criteria for choosing a course. Until I talked to my grandfather, who told me that engineering is the best course of all because it earns good money. I thought that if it was about making money, why wouldn't my choice be suitable for this line? Take a business management course or ...
