My mentor
Last Sunday, April 6. After attending the sunday mass, my youngest sister saw my favorite teacher during elementary. Until now, he's still my favorite teacher.
--
Suddenly, my mother said :
"Yun yun katangi tanging titser na nagtiwala kay melody eh.. haha"
That day, being out of place with my family and previously disappointed, i simply uttered;
"Buti nga yun titser ko na yun, nagtiwala sakin kesa naman sa nanay ko mismo.."
Then my mother hit me in my cheeks, "Gaga! walang tiwala ka dyan!" Then i didn't say anything against her. I know deep inside i hitted her heart when i told her that. I kept quiet instead.
-- Okay. okay.
Back to my favorite teacher, Mansala. The famous and funniest science teacher during my elementary days, would always be my favorite teacher of all times. And of course, i wouldn't ever forget this man. He was my very first favorite teacher and the one who first to trust my knowledge and abililty.
As far as i can remember:
Mr. Mansala: Melody, ikaw yun lalaban sa science ha?
Melody: (Answered unseriously) Oho. I answered unrespectful but he didn't even bother. I have mixed emotion that time. I'm happy because i'm the chosen one. Next, i'm nervous because it's my first time to join a 'brain' contest.
That day, when i arrived home, i told it to my mother and she laughed. She thinks i'm joking and making fun. She doesn't believe me at all. And it reached to the point my mother called my teacher just to confirm if i'm telling a truth. Oh diba, walang tiwala and mother ko? Kaloka.
....
Anyway, i do really miss my teacher. To describe him, he's one of a kind. best teacher for me. I've learned different lessons from him.He's not not just an ordinary science teacher but also a mentor. I've remembered after the 'laban' i've come to him sad and wasted. It feels like he made a mistake for choosing me as the representative of our section. It's a shame on him being the famous teacher that his representative didn't even bring the 3rd place.
I hugged at him. Then he said : "Okay lang yan! Bakit ka ba umiiyak?" Para kasing ako yun nahihiya para sa kanya eh.. My barkada were all laughing na nga eh, kinakantsawan ako.. hehe
But i wan't to say sorry to my teacher but i think i hadn't. If i have to choose my 2nd father, i don't hesitate to choose this MR. Mansala. When we crossed our ways, i hope, he still know me and didn't forget me. It's been an 8 years since he's not my teacher and mentor anymore. I do miss him. Oh by the way, another thing, when he's mad either angry, he got red. They say, pinaglihi kase sa mansanas! I really miss you sir!
