 I believe that I have to follow the
policies and procedures of the cooperating
school so that there will be a harmonious re-
lationship between me and my cooperating
school. Moreover, I need to follow the poli-
cies and procedures because these are my

I believe that I have to follow the

policies and procedures of the cooper-
ating school so that there will be a har-
monious relationship between me and
my cooperating school. Moreover, I need
to follow the policies and procedures
because these are my guide which I can
use in order for me to perform actively
and effectively as an intern. Lastly, fol-
lowing these policies and procedures is
important because I believe that teach-
ers are leaders in the school. Therefore,
to be a good leader, you must be a good
example, a role model for everyone and
of course a good follower.

I believe that I am really prepared to teach.

This is thanks to all the learnings that I have acquired
from Daraga Community College for the last 3 1/2
years, I have been prepared to face this new mile-
stone in my life. Thanks to all the professors who
molded me to be an effective teacher, I have learned
the necessary skills in order for me to teach and
share the knowledge, skills and values to my stu-
dents. Furthermore, in these past few weeks that I
have been an intern in Daraga National High School, I
can say that I really love teaching and I think teaching
also agrees with me. This is because I enjoyed teach-
ing for me it’s very fulfilling.
