Excellence Poem by Ma Loreta Desalisa

The word is quite difficult to attain.
Yet, it drives us to do and give our best in all our endeavors, so as to be fulfilled, happy and contented.
As I assessed myself, I think i'm still halfway there.
Though I always try to do and give my best in my daily task as a teacher and as an adviser, but still I'm not satisfied with the school outcomes specifically achievement test results.
I know there are other factors that may affect achievement results but i just wish that the students would realize the importance of taking the test seriously as it reflects their achievement level and
teacher's performance.
I am sometimes disappointed with the students' attitude towards their
studies but I never allowed it to put me down, instead it prodsme
to continue giving my best in teaching for I know a few of these students would benefit from what I shared when they go to college.
In my role as a teacher, I made it a point never to take teaching for granted for I consider my students my liability entrusted to me by God. It is for God that I try to attain excellence in everything I do.
