January is Back To School

I started the year with going back to school. Before I left for Cebu, I had left my papers with a friend to submit for this certificate course in Special Education that we were interested in taking.



By January, we were thinking of dropping by the school to submit her additional requirements and lo and behold, we actually had classes already! Although we hadn't paid yet, we could already attend the orientation, which was on that day as well as the start of classes. We were both caught offguard as we hadn't even planned on going in the first place. In fact, we even went there late thinking that we weren't going to do anything except submit papers. So there we were, listening to our professor, taking down notes. Luckily I had brought my pen but didn't have my paper. My friend had her little notebook with her and a pen so she gave me a few pages of her notebook and we started listening and taking down notes.



Again, it felt like I was in a dream, like everything was in slow motion. But I knew that this was real and I was glad that I was there. The things my professor shared were very much new and yet something that I was very much interested in. She started off with a lecture on the history of Special Education in the Philippines as well as the laws that had evolved related to SPED as we call it.



Before we knew it, the day had ended and that was our first day of school. And what a day it was!
