Hindi ka RLES graduate kung hindi mo naranasan ang mga to...
(few things i remember during my elementary years)
Grade 1
- ang mahaba at matibay na stick ng mga teachers
- and desk na minsan nang naging battlefield sa pencil race at space battle (gawa sa papel)
Grade 2
- manila paper and cartolina para i-cover sa hihiraming libro
- ang masakit at mahapding kurot ng teacher
Grade 3
- ang laughtrip sa klase na siya ang mag-aayos ng baraha imbes na libro
- ang fox candy
- ang long division (na di ko kayang tapusin)
Grade 4
- ang lumang klasrum na nilipad ng malakas na hangin yung bubong (dahil sa bagyo)
- ang Social Studies class sa labas sang room sa takot naming mabagsakan ng mga siraing haligi ng room
- ang long division (na di ko pa din natutunan)
Grade 5
- ang kontrobersyan na parusa kapag wala kang assignment at zero sa quiz (nakakahiya)
- ang story sa English class namin na may pamagat na "Mama's Boy"
- ang story sa Filipino class namin tungkol sa isang daga at lawin (tunay na pagkakaibigan)
- ang long division (marunong na ako!!!)
- ang rotational assignment ng pagiging cleaners ng class
- ang lantern sa labas ng room every December na gawa sa straw at "bilaho"
Grade 6
- ang mga educational board games sa classroom
- ang grupo ng mga students na naglalaro ng "jack stone" after lunch
- ang pagiging volunteer tuwing flag ceremony at flagretreat
- ang morning exercise
- ang white rabbit na candy
- ang duty sa HE room araw-araw
- taniman ng mani sa EPP class
Inspite of all these things (either good or bad) that we've experienced here in school we remain to be good and proud students. These are the things that are unique and masasabi nating proud RLES experience.
I was never an honor student during my elementary days. i even tried to enroll my self sa 2nd section in Grade 5 and was advised to enroll in section 1. Yet I am very proud to say that I am a product of RLES.
As a teacher myself, i know the kind of sacrifice our teachers did in order for us to become good, better, and best students. in our little own ways let us try to give back to the school something the school can be proud of as their alumni. maybe not in the form of money or material things, it could be something that would uplift the dignity of the school. By telling our sons and daughters the kind of experience we had during we were still students of this beloved school. By telling them how great our teacher was nung nag-aaral pa tayo dito. i admit that their strictness had an impact on how we become and what we are now.
I will always be thankful to the school, my beloved alma mater, for giving me the right education and proper guidance. I maybe not teaching here but I am trying my best to impart to my students the kind of learning i received from this school
Mabuhay ka RLES, may you continue producing good and responsible students and may those students become better citizen not only of this barangay but of the country as well.
To end my speech I would like to share with you this quote that I always put at the bottom of my test papers:
"A good dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A good man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker"
Thank you
