A Mandatory Back-to-School Post

The mandatory back-to-school pic. :)

When you found someone who supports all your obsessions, "kalokohan" & "kagagahan" you're one lucky person. But apart from that, when you've also found that someone who encourages you to always seek for more professional growth, trust me. You are one BLESSED among BLESSED. Hence, you have to value that person as for he/she is a keeper.

"The Husband" long before I married him had been consistently and persistently persuading me to enroll for my Master's Degree. However, me being a snug as a bug in rug loves the comfort of my room with a cup of coffee in one hand a good book in the other during my free time. I've enjoyed the company of my books and some movies on weekend and some sort of out-of-the-city whereabouts. Yes, I'm indeed both an introvert and extrovert rolled into one body.  But apart from those, what really made me decide not to go to school was the idea of staying in a school from Mondays-Fridays and yet I will still have to spend my weekdays in again another school. How tiring and excruciating that thought! Blaaaaaah! 

He, on the other hand, had  never missed a single time to remind me of enrolling. This then went on for weeks to months to years. Until last month, (insert drum rolls here, hahah) when I finally decided to enroll. "The Husband's" motivation, which I will be sharing to you guys soon enough, really made me pursue my MA. Other than his way of motivating me, I got into thinking as to why won't I give it a try since "the soon to-be-babies" are way too out of the picture yet and while missing him on my free time is truly a palpable ache in my chest. And so yeah, finally, I enrolled and the rest becomes HISTORY! :)

As much as I'd like to keep the rest as history, I couldn't stop myself as well in sharing what has been newly found and built for my first class. A friendship with these great people. Now that I have them with me in this journey, I know for sure how wonderful it is to continue learning, to continue making improvements for myself while sharing it with them. 

And just last weekend, we all were successfully able to finish one subject. Cheers to this minute leap of success! :) :) :)

And so we sealed our Teaching of Reading and Literature class with a little celebration. Indeed we were blessed to be under the tutelage of one great professor in the person of Dr. Elsie L. Dajao who IS never too high and intimidating to share with us our little success. :)
