My Life's Journey A Newbie in Hive

Hello everyone just call me “rich-dreamer”because I love to dream big for the future of my family. I am married with 4 children and my husband is just an ordinary man but a family oriented man. We live a simple life but a happy one. They are the reasons for my rich dream. I want to provide everything for my family for them to have a comfortable life but I know this is not possible without the guidance of our Almighty God. I am a teacher by profession and promoted last January 3, 2019 to be the School Principal of Secondary Level. And I was assigned far away from my hometown like 31.3 km and 55 minutes travel everyday to and fro. For the will of God I was returned to my hometown 2 years ago. I was assigned last January 7, 2022 at Ilihan Integrated School as their new School Principal. And this is where my assigned station until now. I am happy that for 3 long years that I was struggling for my daily travel finally God hear and answer my prayers.

This picture was taken during the christening of my 4th child and before I was assigned far away from home.

Though it was really a struggle for me to had those situation after giving birth to my 4th child via cesarian section, but due to my passion to served, I grabbed the opportunity that I was promoted and luckily I survived.

This was taken after my one (1) year in returning to my hometown during the Pasidungog 2022. I was very happy receiving those certificate of recognition, my effort was paid off by this honor.

Aside from teaching I also love reading novels since my first year in high school. This is one of my hobbies until now, before I collected several novel books in tagalog and in english version but now I usually read from online books. Lately I am interested on writing online though this is just my first time doing this but who knows I will grow on this field with the guidance of the right people.

I also loved to travel but due to tight of budget I can only have my travel when my job called for it.

This picture was taken at the Underground River of Palawan during my travel last 2018 when I attended the National training for Secondary School Principal.

And this was also my first time riding an airplane. I was very grateful for being promoted because I had this opportunity though the expenses was not all covered by the allocated budget to be refunded but still I am fortunate enough to had this experiences. I only experienced riding an airplane three (3) times. And this three (3) times were all work related activities. I never had the chance to fly together with my family because we cannot afford. This make me a rich dreamer too. I want someday we can make it together because my children were asking me many times when can we do it.

This was my second time riding an airplane. We went to Makati City to attend the National Seminar for a selected School Principal.

And this was my third time riding an airplane. We went to Boracay to attend the National Seminar for Secondary School Principal.

How I wish I have a lot of opportunities in the future to attend the National Seminar for me to grow professionally as well as to enjoy the rare chance given to government employees. We enjoy the new places and of course the learning we had for the training. It will help us in managing our school effectively and efficiently. For last year schedule, I declined to attend the two (2) National Seminar for Secondary School Principal due to lack of budget. It was because only the registration of the training was refundable, the rest were shouldered by the participants like transportation, meals and accommodation. I don’t have an extra budget at the time the national seminar was scheduled. So sad to note I was not able to attend. But anyway there is still the next time and hopefully I can make it.

I have my reasons why I want to join this platform. Firstly, I was interested in writing online but I don’t know where to start. Secondly, I like the feedback I’ve heard from the member on how you treated each other in this platform. Thirdly, I want to experience on how to be part of hive family. And finally, I want to grow on this field.

Growing on this field, I want to contribute and share some of my learning and experiences that is worth sharing. Though I am not good in everything I do like writing because I am not an English major but rather a math major. But I know on expressing our thoughts and feelings the best thing to do is write. I still believe that writing is the best weapon to air out your opinion without restrictions but we should be mindful enough not to harm others. Otherwise the troubles will likely to happen due to misunderstanding of what is written.

I am very grateful that one of the teachers under my care was eager to let me be a part of this hive family. She introduced this program to me like more than six (6) months ago but at first I declined because I don’t have the confidence that I can make it. I love reading but I am poor in writing this is what I believe in myself. But due to her persistent in explaining and encouraging me that I can do it, little by little I thought what if I tried. There is no harm in trying right? So that is why I am here now introducing myself. My very good teacher is no other than @callmesmile one of our best English teachers in Ilihan Integrated School at llihan, Tabogon, Cebu. And mostly to mam @indayclara for the golden opportunity given to me to join this webinar.

I know through hard work and perseverance I make things happen in this new field of discovery. Happy working with you all. Thank you and God bless everyone.
