My Reflections/ My Insights

that way? What are your joys/ apprehensions?
I need to follow the policies and procedures of the

Bonifacio Elementary School, Caloocan City, will continue
accepting more practice teachers in the succeeding years,
making La Consolacion College to produce more
professional teachers. Policies is also important in
propelling good relationship with the school personnel.
Making friend with people at the is a pleasure. It somehow
emphasizes that being a student teacher is not just about
teacher but it is also about having friend which you would
never forget in your whole life

B. Am I really prepared to teach? Why and Why not?

For three years I had spent in La Consolacion College Caloocan, there is no reason why I am not
ready because I’ve experienced so many things about teaching and we were already trained so
much to be a good teacher, and for me I am already ready to teach and also to touch the lives of
my students. To make sure that they are motivated while they were in school.
Being prepared and ready is not just enough, but my willingness also pushes me to continue.
Willing is one of the profound reason in teaching because willingness emanates good teaching
performance and how you will able to sustain it.
