"Giving our 101%" is always the mantra and the battle cry of these students at Philippine State College of Aeronautics everytime their grades are at risk. And guess what? They're always up and ready to the challenge.
During their final project for the semester, I had these students of AIS or Aviation Information System first year to organize a "Cultural Show". This project is in relation to our Subject Sociology with Contemporary Issues wherein they will exhibit different cultures of people in the world manifested in their way of dressing, food and dances. Upon hearing it, there was quite a vast silence and doubts on their faces, considering they only have roughly a month to prepare for this such huge production. Anyway, they all still went for it and pack their grace and composure to take up the challenge.
When their leader Helmer presented to me their brainstormed program, I was really surprised seeing that it's fully loaded. Then in my mind, "They're all really into it. Such resilience."
Now, on the day of the Culture Show, lights up and raised bar, I was stunned to where I am standing at as these first year students were all PREPARED to exceed expectations and launch a blast of presentations to the delight of all these PHILSCANIANS. (students of the school)
Let's take a look at to some of their monumental shots:
Not only they prepared rich varieties of dance and talent acts, but they also prepared a table of food popular to some of these countries.
Seeing your students give their all out 101 percent is such a satisfying feeling and is something a treasure you cannot exchange as a teacher. Seeing their self confidence developed, composure, resilience and excellence is what vendicates me to this calling.
Therefore, without a doubt, these college students got a flat 1.0 as their final grade much to their delight and jubilation.
Truly it is gratifying to see this kind of sight fellow steemians and with that i come to realize that empowering people is OUR mission regardless of your profession.
Shalom steemians.
