One of the tasks I was given was to introduce myself and the Philippines to most of the grade 7 students. Due to scheduling, I only get to meet each section once a semester, but this provides a valuable opportunity to start building a rapport with them before they become my students in the coming school year.

I thoroughly enjoy these classes with the grade 7 students because they are incredibly cute and cooperative. Their enthusiasm and willingness to learn are truly inspiring. It is a joy to share with them about my home country and to see their curiosity and interest in learning about different cultures.

These sessions not only allow me to introduce myself and the Philippines but also to start fostering a positive relationship with the students. Building this connection early on lays the foundation for a productive and enjoyable learning environment in the future. I am grateful for the opportunity to engage with these students and look forward to watching them grow throughout the school year.
