Eureka!

September 1, 2013

Forgive me, Archimedes for using your invented expression because I think, I finally found it.
Sinatra sings, …regrets, I have a few… too few to mention. I guess,  I have too.

I definitely can say right now that my biggest regret was that I did not take my resignation at SMA last April 2012. First, I have definitely put on hold for a year my gratification for appreciation and self-worth in exchange of the “unsuccessful’ betterment of Jef. 
In which my degree that I am struggling with to finish is a big deal.
In the outreach program I had last Saturday with my Technical Writing students.

They had this contest for the participants of slogan making and I together with the GK Head was the judges  And so, they asked us to provide our profile as credible judges. Shyly, though, I gave mine- because they forced me to.
And so I wrote that I was an AB/ BSE Literature graduate taking Master of Arts in Linguistics. The emcee, who is also my student, confirmed by asking me if I was a double-degree graduate, and again shyly, I nodded. He said, (and this is music to my ears) ‘ang galing talaga ni ma’am tapos MA pa Linguistics." I saw pride in his eyes and even in his cheeks.  
Although, I never regret accepting. With that I learned, that it was easy for me to accept it- the recognition, because for so long a time, I've been working and tiring myself out for that kind of recognition. Finally, I earned it. It bit me down my marrow and it made me alive.
