I thought I had a “meandering”
career, too, but after 37 years of moving back and forth from ESL for children
and adults, Comm. Arts, Special Education, Montessori Education, to public
elementary school teaching, I have nothing but gratitude for the places I’ve
been, friends I’ve made, and lives I’ve been privileged to witness change for the
better – local, immigrant, or refugee. I’ve been truly blessed to have the best
teachers from day 1 at Gotamco Elementary School to my last days at the University
of Sto. Tomas, revising my thesis using a portable typewriter, under the advisership
of the late Dr. Ophelia Alcantara Dimalanta. It has been a life well-lived,
whether there was little or enough, whether it’s my final curtain or 20 years
more, as AI estimated based on my current lifestyle. It doesn’t really matter
now, does it? MLJ/20062024
