Life Is Education (A Reflection from Teacher Carmina Ambrocio)

“Empowered academic achievers and lifelong learners…”

We start the course of learning during infancy and it continues until we get old. Everything we know is a product of what we had learned, whether it was taught in school or it was grasped from our environment and our everyday experiences. Our life is indeed is a constant lesson for us to discover and learn. Therefore, as students of life we should be equipped with the proper attitude towards learning and that is what the school is preparing us for.

As a teacher I want my students to imbibe the attitude of zeal and passion for learning. I want to motivate them and help them persevere to achieve their full potential and prepare them to be lifelong learners. We are not just responsible to teach them what is in the book, but it is also our responsibility to teach them how to think and how to learn. We should ignite their intellectual curiosity and their reasoning. The students should also learn how to acquire knowledge and how to apply this in real life situations. We are most certain that the students learn once they can confidently apply and relate knowledge to their every day experiences.

Lifelong learners aren’t solely focused on academic achievements but they are also equipped with the right conduct. To be successful in everything we do, we need to have the balance of good character and fully develop abilities. Abilities can lead us to success, but character is what will keep us successful.
