just finished writing my "leave" letter to Dean. i will be submitting it first thing this morning when i get to work.
i know it's just another leave letter but i can't help but get a bit emotional as i formally put my request on black & white. it hurts to write the words: "Thank you and hoping for your full support on this personal and career endeavor." most especially when i know that my boss believes that i belong to the college and NOT somewhere else.
everybody in the office understands why i have to do this; why i need to go and redeem myself. they are the people who believed in me and continues to do so. they welcomed me back despite the bruises i incurred on my first attempt. sila ang nagsabi sa akin na malalaman mong isa kang magaling at huwaran na guro kung ang estudyanteng tinuruan mo ay lumaking mas magaling at dala sa puso nila ang bawat leksyon na ibinigay mo. come to think of it, i ain't the only one in our office who went through the same experience. hindi ako nag-iisa, kaya naiintindihan nila ang nararamdaman ko.
but then again, they know me better too... because unlike them, i refuse to stop and settle for less. the more i stumble, the more i will get up and fight. and that's what this coming journey is for.
and the next best thing about it is... if ever i don't make it again, i will always have them- my CPT family- to go back to anytime.
welcome
