My Summer Classes 2010


After several years of not teaching regularly,I taught a Creative Writing Class to our High School scholars for almost five weeks this summer. Participants were incoming Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores from different public and private high schools.  Forty students attended classes every morning from Tuesdays to Thursdays.


Today, we celebrated the writing achievements of each student.  We went to the Chinese Garden in Rizal Park, Manila to share stories and talk about what this summer meant for all of us. My students improved in their writing! They also enjoyed each other's company since each of the two sessions had students from different levels and different schools. 


As their teacher, I feel blessed to have been able to spend part of my summer with the Hungry Minds High School scholars.  I got to know my students once again, now as teenagers.
