A kindergarten teacher from Bulacan became an instant celebrity on TikTok after she shared some videos of her cute interactions with her students.
Teacher Jessa has been a kindergarten teacher at the San Jose del Monte Heights Elementary School for a year now.“Actually wala po talaga sa plan ko ang pagiging teacher, ang unang gusto ko talaga ay tourism pero naging mahiluhin po kasi ako sa byahe eh so hindi ko po kaya ‘yung travel which kailangan po sa course na tourism,” Teacher Jessa recalled.
“Na-try kong magstop ng teaching for months pero hinahanap-hanap ko pa rin ‘yung classroom setting. Ang pinaka fulfilling part po para sa ‘kin as a teacher is nakikita ko ‘yung mga students ko na may natututunan sila sa akin. At the same time, we’re also enjoying,” she said.“Sa first year of teaching ko, lalo na po sa nursery, medyo na-shock po talaga ako kasi bata eh, parang naglalaro lang po sila sa classroom hanggang sa I handled Grade 1.
“Ang advice ko lang po siguro sa lahat, don’t forget to take care of yourself also. Kung paano po tayo nag-eeffort sa lesson plan, sa mga lessons inside the classroom, sana ganun din tayo mag-effort pagdating sa ating mga sarili,” she said when asked about her message to fellow educators.
