One Sided Love

There are many things that come into our life, things that made us miserable, things that made us glad, and most of all, things that made us to be an better individual.  I would full-heartedly accept the fact that someone changed my life a lot, changes that I can experience until now.

Love is a strong attraction between two people, no matter what consequences they may face in. It is a sudden feeling wherein hearts beat fast. Whatever it is, love is really exceptional. To people, love is still the most important thing. There are many different ways of expressing love but to people, the most important thing it’s still love. It’s as natural as rising and the setting of the sun. But then, one sided love is so tiring; loving someone who can never love you back, giving your full attention to someone who doesn’t even become aware of the things you do, especially for someone who doesn’t even care about you and for someone who doesn’t even see your worth. Love hurts. If you love someone you must be ready to be broken. It’s a part of life.  It’s a part of our existence.

When I was elementary I met someone who is really intelligent, kind, gentle and nice-looking boy. I admired him a lot. I felt the delight that comes from within whenever he’s beside me, when he calls my name and especially when he talks with me.  I like the way on how he mingle with other people, how he smile and how he caught my heart.   I would always want to be close to him. He is always beside me, we chat face to face. I fell for someone whom I interact with everyday. I fell for him. One day, there came this instance that we talk about crush. He suddenly asked who my crush is. My heart beats fast at that moment. I can’t tell him the truth because he has a mutual understanding with our classmate. I answered another name for him to alter his attention and stop asking about this kind of things. I don’t know how I feel after saying that. But he’s not yet done confronting me.  He asked me, “How about your love?” I can’t really explain what’s happening, suddenly a word come out of my mouth, “YOU”. I was really shocked when I said this. He was slow. He doesn’t get it right. He doesn’t figure it out easily.  I don’t know if he misunderstood but, he said “Me, my love is...” He thought that I was asking him.  I was just staring in his wonderful face back then. And finally, he figured out what I really meant. My face was so red at that time, and I know so was him. I am so thankful that this revelation doesn’t affect the relationship we had, a relationship between two classmates and not even more than that. As time goes by, there came a realization that I must stop loving him. I face the truth. I accept the fact.

Years passed, and now I’m on my high school. I fell for someone whom I don’t even know. I am just familiar with his face because I see him on school. I often ride on a jeepney with him. Sometimes I seat beside him without even knowing that it is him. He became a part of my high school life. I would always want to his face every morning. I asked things about him on the person I know. He’s now graduating student. And before he leaves our school, my feelings for him are already gone. This is another crush that turned into love and another love that turned into heartache.  This is life. This is how I should accept it. I don’t blame God for not letting me loved back of the one I love. I know he has plans for me, and I know everything happens for a reason.  

Even if “I love you” has been said thousand times in a relationship. It can simply end with the word, break up. This is love. (Princess Hours)

A Person Like Her Changed My Life A Lot

           Have you ever felt that you’re alone? Do you feel the sadness that comes from within? How about the burden, is it heavy enough for you to carry it on?

            A teacher or schoolteacher is a person who provides education for pupils (children) and students (adults). The role of teacher is often formal and ongoing, carried out at a school or other place of formal education. In many countries, a person who wishes to become a teacher must first obtain specified professional qualifications or credentials from a university or college. These professional qualifications may include the study of pedagogy, the science of teaching. Teachers, like other professionals, may have to continue their education after they qualify, a process known as continuing professional development. Teachers may use a lesson plan to facilitate student learning, providing a course of study which is called the curriculum.

Without a doubt, there’s no person who doesn’t do mistakes in their lives. Every one of us of course made one. As a student, making mistake in not new, we all know that this mistake will make us change to be a better person whom may also change someone’s life someday. 

When I am still on my freshman year, I thought that a certain teacher in this school is strict, when she asked details about me. I answered her question and I felt that she is not contented with what I’ve said.  On my sophomore year, I proved the she is really strict when we are asking for her to sign on our clearance. She asked me where will she sign but I didn’t answer her question. I am not that familiar with her. Yes, I often hear her name from other students of our school. But I am afraid of her.  What I did was to go out and asked my classmate to do it. I know that she is close with her. But, when I reached my junior year, I realized that I’m wrong. All these thoughts and feelings were just a mistake.

When she started teaching our lessons in her subject, the hairs on my arm started to stand. The sweat on my body started to go out. I can already feel the coldness of hands. Yes, I am very nervous. But this nervousness was replaced by enjoyment that I feel nowadays.

On our class, I always start with a smile and end up with a smile too, with new knowledge on my mind that I can apply in my life. She explains well all the things that are not well discussed and not clear to me. She’s not just a teacher but also a friend that shares her thought and feelings to our class so that we will not feel boring and sleepy. I am challenged to study our lessons well so that I will not disappoint her, because seeing her proud of what I do is something that I can treasure in my whole life.  

I am very thankful that God gave me a teacher like her. A person like her changed my life a lot.  She is a person I will never forget, for teaching me how to live my life on the right path.  She is Mrs. Mildred Climacosa - Atendido, and we often call her Ma’am May.

HAPPY TEACHERS DAY!
