Dreams and Aspirations:

I am one of the students who needs financial assistance just like the other scholars in PaCEF. My family do not have the financial capacity to pay for my tuition fees and to cover all the expenses of my studies, and so I applied for the scholarship.  I am happy that I qualified and I would like to say that I am determined to pursue my degree and become successful in the future. 
At present I am trying my best to manage my time, that of being a student and a student teacher in Values Education.  I am inspired with being a Values Education teacher because I am given the opportunity to reach out and teach the young minds of the children of Sto. Niño Elementary School.  It is my dream to see them live the values that we teach them aside from, of course, finishing a degree.

I am most grateful to our sponsors and I would just like to express my gratitude for the help they have extended to us.  May God bless  you a thousand fold.  
      
 1. What are you fondly called by your family, friends and relatives?
 Called by my Kuya as “GEL”, by my parents as “Lay”, and by my friends as “Anj and Gela”

2. What are your hobbies and interests?

I love reading and writing.  I use reading as a therapy to remove my stress.  In writing I express my emotions, ideas, insights and things that I want to say. 

Practically speaking, I spend most of my time in school because I am an officer of the Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants (JPIA).  I am also a student  volunteer who is ready to help whenever someone needs assistance and I’m happy with this.  

I’m interested in watching movies about life.  I also like documentaries. 


 3. What motivated you to join PaCEF?

I needed a scholarship for me to continue my studies. I really want to finish a degree, but because of financial problems, I can’t.  So, when I heard about the scholarship of PaCEF,  I immediately inquired in the Outreach office and ask  Ma’am Fe about the requirements.  I have learned from her also about the Foundation. She said that the foundation is looking for scholars who can really work hard and who are willing to teach Values to school children in exchange of the scholarship.   

Being a values education teacher has helped me a lot in the improvement of my personality.  I have also gained knowledge and experience that will prepare me for the future.  With this, I have realized that I am hitting two birds with one stone. I got a scholarship and the opportunity to care about the values of the children and learned something in return.


4. What are some of the memorable experiences you had with the school children?I love the opportunity given to me to help them discover their talents and skills. I had great moments last year and until now with the kids.  I have learned to patient and have developed my skill in handling children's behavior. I love it when they call me "Titser Angela".  I love to see them smile whenever they see me and when they listen to me while I teach.

5. If there are changes you would recommend in terms of the teaching and learning process, what would these be?
I am not a professional teacher nor an education student but I’m a part of the academe as a student who dream of helping the kids learn. I want to prepare the learners for more academic tasks. I wish they have more materials in learning.  Food also is another factor to be considered.  Sometimes I wonder if the children I teach have eaten their lunch or snacks, this is a concern I wish I can do something about.  I believe that they can only listen attentively if their stomach is full.  

6. What are the changes PaCEF has done to your life as a student and as a person?
A life-changing experience, the opportunity to engage myself in helping the children to learn new things will forever remain in my heart.  In teaching values, I have developed my sense of discipline, commitment, and the heart to impart knowledge. 

Ano nga bang pagbabago ang naidulot nito sa akin? My answer is, “A purpose-driven life".  

Salamat po sa PaCEF at sa aming mga sponsors.

I believe that I will be able to touch the lives of my pupils by imparting knowledge and values to them.

I have always considered teaching as  "the best profession ever", especially  if one has a real passion for it. I believe that as a teacher I have to show my love for what I do, have FUN with my pupils  so that I will  benefit and learn from my experiences. It has always been my dream to teach children and so I am really studying hard to make this dream come true.


1. What are you fondly called by your family, friends and relatives?
Brye, Bryan, Piks family

2. What are your hobbies and interests?
I love collecting things that are shiny and different….something that is historical, like stones of different shapes and textures and objects that come from the different places I visit. 

I love performing Fire Dance and Cultural Dance.  I do emceeing and comedy acts too.  I’m interested in doing a play.  During my high school days, I was a stage director and stage actor in some of the plays.

At present, I am an officer of the Central Student Council.  I am at present the Auditor.  I am also  a member of the Student Catholic Action, a volunteer of outreach and a PaCEF Scholar. I love being into these organizations because I believe that I will learn many things from my involvement into the different activities.

3. What motivated you to join PaCEF?
My love for teaching and my need for financial assistance.  I have heard about the  good experiences of the PaCEF scholars in teaching values, and so I was inspired to  join them. 
My experience with them has developed my advocacy in teaching the young children with good moral values.I have always considered my course as a noble profession and so I know I can be an instrument in teaching children values. 

4. What are some of the memorable experiences you had with the school children?
I am most happy when I know that  children have learned something from my teachings.  I am not only the beneficiary of the scholarship but also the students who benefit from our teaching of values.
As a student teacher, I am most challenged to answer the need for values education among school children.
I have developed my patience and my ability to discipline the children and change their bad behavior into a good one. I have also developed my personality and was able to improve my confidence.

5. If there are changes you would recommend in terms of the teaching and learning process in Values Education, what would these be?
More activities for the children to appreciate more the lessons in Values Education. The need to feed the children so that they can listen well, pay attention to my discussion and will really learn something.  I believe that  they can listen better if their stomach is full.

6. What Changes has PaCEF  done into your life as a student and as a person?
My passion to teach has been developed.  I was challenged to teach the young children. 
As a student teacher, one of my goals is to inculcate values and open the minds of the students.

“Marami ang mga naging pagbabago sa aking buhay magmula ng ako ay maging isang  PaCef Scholar.

Nais ko lang pong  magkwento tungkol sa aking buhay bilang estudyante. Sa aking pag aaral, naranasan ko na po ang hindi mag-almusal, hindi kumain ng tanghalian, ngunit ito ay hindi hadlang upang ipagpatuloy ko ang aking  pag-aaral. 

Tricycle driver po ang aking ama at nasa bahay lang po ang aking nana, Lahat po kami ay nag-aaral. Isang working student ang aking kuya at nasa high school at elementarya ang aking dalawang kapatid. Mahirap po para sa akin ang makitang nahi hirapan ang aking mga magulang sa aming pag-aaral, madalas po kasi kaming walang pera at sumasabay pa ang mga bayarin tulad ng kuryente at tubig. Noong nalaman ko na nangangailangan ng mga scholars o  student-teachers ang Outreach,  di nako nagdalawang isip na mag apply  dahil na rin po sa aming  kahirapan.  Naglakas loob po akong nagtanong kung ano ang mga requirements at para na rin po mabawasan ang aming binabayaran sa paaralan.  Isa rin sa aking mga dahilan ay  upang mahasa ang aking talento sa pagtuturo. 

Malaking tulong para sa akin ang maging iskolar  ngPaCEF.  Ako po ay nagpapasalamat sa bumubuo ng Scholarship Foundation at sa aming mga sponsors dahil, hindi lamang po ako ang kanilang natutulungan kundi pati na ang mga iba pang mga estudyante at pati na ring ang mga mag-aaral  na aming tinuturuan.”Maraming Salamat Po!

Dreams and Aspirations:

As I journey through the challenges that go along my way, never in my life did I cease dreaming of a better life. To dream for me is to be alive, to push myself to do my best no matter what. Having a picture in my mind the implications of success which I started to visualize since I was a little girl, I am motivated  to pursue my studies and finish a degree.  I dream of my family having a good future, seeing them delivered from the bondage of poverty. More than uplifting our status in life and having a stable job, I aspire to become a reporter, a CPA and business woman. I know many dreams may not come to reality, but I live with these dreams to help me to go on with life.  With these in mind, I strive to make the best out of me.  I also believe that it is only when I have touched the lives of others that I can have a successful life.  I have felt in my teaching values to the young children as something that is rewarding and self-fulfilling and I know with the experience, my dreams and aspirations are not far-fetched.  


1.       What are you fondly called by family members, friends and relatives?
My family call  me Che-Che since I was a little girl. Some of my friends have given me pet names such as “chie”, “bata”, “yumi”, “little sis”, “prenbes” and “couz” , though  my relatives call me “che”.


2.       Hobbies and Interests:
A hobby that can relieve my everyday stress is watching television. For some reason I often caught myself sitting in front of television watching news, dramas, talk shows, documentaries and including cartoons that catch my attention. Watching makes me gain knowledge which contribute a lot in my formulation of ideas. Other interests include meeting new friends, listening to people with wisdom and learning new things.  

3.       What motivated you to join PaCEF?
My best motivation are my dreams in life. The very reason why  I am facing all the challenges  is that I believe that after all these years of sacrifices, I will  finally get my diploma. I have tried several times before applying for a scholarship and I have never stopped praying, that’s why when my Theology teacher, Mrs. Charito Acuna advised me to apply to PaCEF as scholars, I immediately went to the office of Ma'am Fe Gonzales to apply for the said scholarship.  Thank God I was lucky enough to be chosen. I know I can share my knowledge, values and abilities to inspire the young minds of the children. This  keeps my burning passion to teach values and stay in PaCEF.

4.       What are some of the memorable experiences you had with the school children?
The first day of teaching at school and being a student teacher is the most memorable experience that I have. It was so stressful and frustrating, I was so worried because I don’t even know how to teach the subject matter and how to manage a class of 52. I was really nervous because I don’t have any experience of teaching before and I really do not know how to get the attention of the pupils. Those challenges for me were really unforgettable because they have given me the opportunity to grow and to learn new things. I will never forget the moment I have inspired the lives of the children and the way they have touched my life. The experience I know will remain in my heart for the rest of my life.

5.    If you have recommendations in terms of the teaching and learning process, what would these be?
Changes are inevitable, and we have to adapt according to the environment, situation and people surrounding us. To change the learning process is to consider  the complexity of the system itself and the demand of the teachers and admin staff. But if I am going to suggest changes, it would not be the way we teach, rather, it will be to know the needs of the students. Something realistic, like the values education and reading session that give immense help.  If we listen to every story of each pupil which affect their behavior, something will touch your heart.  It is a reality that some of them  do not have  food to eat, no pencil to use, no parents to guide them and no slippers to wear. To know and realize the needs of the pupils is what I would want to be given focused to.

6.       What are the changes PaCEF has done to your life as a student and as a person?
PaCEF has challenged me to balance my studies and my responsibility as a student teacher. It has helped me to  open my eyes to think not only for myself but also for my pupils. It is not easy to adapt one self to new situations, but I was able to manage, accept, and appreciate it. More than the financial reason, PaCEF has contributed in improving my personality, having discipline, patience, and perseverance. I was once also one of those elementary pupils who dream to pursue my college which my parents have not experienced. Thank you for the opportunity to become one of the scholars or student-teachers. It has changed my perspective about life.  I know that with this experience I will  value education more and keep my values as I go along my journey to  life.

Dreams and Aspirations:

I aim to finish my studies and give my parents a better life. I want them to have a little taste of good life after the long years of hardship.

At first, I do not know how to discipline them.  But later on, I have developed my self confidence and authority towards them, and so I already know how to make them behave and listen to my discussion.  I have learned the skill how to interact with them, and I have realized that in telling stories to them, I have to be animated and my voice should be loud and clear.  
I am happy whenever I see them putting into action what I taught them like: kissing the hands of the elders and saying “Po” and “Opo” and “Salamat Po”. I feel joy in my heart whenever they talk talk me and treat me like their elder sister and teacher.  I most happy when I am with them.  I feel glad given the opportunity to reach out to them and touch their lives by teaching values. 

5. If there are changes you would recommend in terms of the teaching and learning process, what would these be?

I wish there will be more time for me to be with the school children so I can really make a follow up on their behavior and teach them values. 

More materials to be used to facilitate teaching and learning process.Innovative materials that are really useful and that will get the attention of the children for them to become interested in the lesson.
More time to brainstorm with the teachers in charge for them to help us develop effective materials and strategies for our lessons to be more effective.  

A seminar-workshop with them and team building so that we can establish a good rapport and better relationship with them.

6. What are the Changes PaCEF has done to your life as a student and as a person?

It has opened an opportunity for me to teach the children.  The experience has really changed my attitude towards the children who are willing to learn.

The experience in teaching has made me realize that teaching is a challenging profession because one has to really be good in imparting knowledge and also in disciplining the school children. 

It has helped me financially for,  because of PaCEF I was able to continue my studies, and I would to take this opportunity to thank all our benefactors and sponsors especially PaCEF for my scholarship.
