Then after I taughr them, you know what ? they gave me a surprise party as the farewell party. Oh my goodness ! I was so surprised and also so touched because of them. I entered the door and wow I was crying, crying because of I really so touched. They gave me many cakes and peformances from grade 4 and grade 6 and I know this idea was from my advisory teacher, Ma’am Hazel Falcis. She is so kind, she always helped me in my difficluties in teaching process and now she made the surprise party for me and persuade all of the student teacher and of course coordinate the students and their parents. I’m so happy, Thank God ! you gave me many kind people in Iloilo city Philippines.
