Finally...

Well..I don't have to make excuses anymore...But nevertheless, I wana make it....

I haven't had the chance to blog for sometime...As usual, yours truly has been so busy preparing her, EHEM, eMentor room...Not only that, I am so engrossed with finishing my final lesson presentation, which took me a month to think over and conceptualize...Fortunately, I have just submitted it to Sir Meoh, and according to him, no editing is needed..I don't have to place his "nice comments" here...thanks sir...

I am also not too keen to blog just for the sake of blogging...After all, the readers can tell if what I wrote here has some sense or not..I can't think of anything to blog the past few days...My mind is simply blank...Even if Sir Meoh was prodding us to do so, I can't get my mind to write anything...Still an excuse...kidding....

Alas and Alhamdulillah (thank GOD), just finished my lesson presentation....had my very own eMentor room....had conducted some classes already using my materials....and had taken pictures in the process....What more excuse can I come up with???

All I can say is that, there's no great joy than to watch your students so intent in what you say, and so engrossed in the lessons being delivered...All they can say after each lesson, is...MORE...MORE...and MORE...

I have sacrificed so much to come up with my eMentor Room...Words can't describe what me and our principal has gone through just to have it all set up...But because of my insistence, our principal finally agreed to give me the room, and purchase the necessary materials needed, including a digital camera for that matter...

I have rounded all of the computer shops here in Iligan City for the video card with TV out, but to no avail...Then off to Cagayan de Oro...Fortunately, one is available in one computer shop there...Other shops have some VCards but way too expensive, if I have bought it, my principal would fire me...

Finally I have the card...But it still has to be installed in one of our CPU's...I again hauled one of the CPU's from school, and had it sent to a shop here in Iligan and installed it...All with fees of course...

Not that I blamed our principal of course...If she can have her way, we have had our eMentor room long ago...Her hands are simply tied...We don't have existing funds...That's the point of the matter...But nevertheless, her support is amazing...From her personal services, to her personal funds, she has supported the whole project all the way...

Finally, last week, I was able to set up our eMentor room, and conducted classes there...I have all good words from everyone...It's really different when you have the whole process set up...Really really different...I didn't expect my class to be trasformed like that...Even if we don't have projector, it's the closest thing we could have acheived to having the real thing...I can say proudly, my hard work paid off....

This is kinda getting long...I have so many things to say...But am afraid, this is not a book..This is just an article...So I'll save what I have to say in my future blogs, which will be in less than 24 hours LOL...Yes, am back...More inspired, and more intent to finish what I have started...

Thanks to my co eMentor Scholars...Ate Marie, Ma'am Sally, Ma'am Yam, Sir Arnold, and Sir Acsie....
