"Facing My Fears" (via face book note)
I am just a simple teacher with simple dreams. I just want to teach and share knowledge to people. I'm just used to help and support anyone or any event but I don't want to be a front liner. I have a very low self-confidence, I have doubts to myself on whether I can do the things right. I have lots of fears.
Until.....Over a week ago I was informed by Sir Froilan Grate (Pres.,Mother Earth Foundation) that I will present a 10 minute talk in a big crowd about environmental policies. I was very surprised. why me?..I don't know what I'm going to feel that day. If I will feel happy, sad, surprised. flattered,..i don't know. I repeatedly begged off because I know I can't do it. But he never stopped convincing me, he encouraged me, he even said I'm the perfect person to do it because I'm practicing what I learned on environmental policies. So I accepted the challenge. I prayed a lot. I listened to all the encouraging words from my co teachers. I just convinced myself that I can do it.
This morning was a biggest test to me. This is the day I was waiting for. I was trembling the whole morning...who wouldn't?...I will stand in front of these vip's, supervisor, principals, guests, teachers...I even told my friends, can I do it the way I like it to be?...what if the outcome's not good?...how can I face my co-teachers?. But then again I realized I have to do this. So I just lift up to God. I prayed and asked for His guidance. And like what my friends told me, 'believe in yourself' that's the technique...If you believe that you can do it, you can do it...I don't know where my self-confidence came from that I finished my talk with flying colors. It was like magic that I discussed my topic continuously, not nervous at all. Maybe because it came purely in my heart, and I love what I'm doing. I remember my friend Joyce told me 'whatever is done out of love and dedication is always the best'.
I am so happy today, not only because of the award given to me as an 'eco-friendly model teacher' but because I've proven to myself that I did something worthy. When I saw the faces of these people listening to me, that's only the time I feel proud of myself. It's so overwhelming when I heard the applause, the appreciation, the congratulations after my talk. I cannot express how happy I am today. It was unforgettable.
I want to thank everyone for the encouragement, especially to Mam Narag, Mam Vicky, Maricris and Zarah, your encouragement, hugs, the smiles were big help to me...I love you guys.... Thank you Mam Zeny for all the support, and to sir Froilan for believing in me and the trust. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I wouldn't do it without all your help. Thanks, Thanks, Thanks.
Thank you all for listening:))
