Last week's highlight was the Multi-District Youth Conference where LDS youth all around Bohol comes together to have fun activities as well as develop their spiritual side through learning more about the gospel and working on their Young Women Progress and Duty to God.
One of the activities everybody was looking forward to was the most awaited My turn on earth Roadshow. An activity that showcases various talents and abilities of the Youth in the five branches in Tagbilaran District. For 2 months they have practiced for their performance. A lot of sweat and hard work coupled with fun gatherings with friends were the recipe and everyday seemed very long for everyone.
Unfortunately, I was not able to follow their practices and rehearsals due to work and some school responsibilities I had but inspite that, my youth were very diligent in attending the meetings.
So now comes the day when they get to perform in front of the crowd, to ones that are unfamiliar and to ones who've been there with them all the way. Here comes the time when I get to worry on how my youth turns out at the same time mixed with the feelings of excitement to see them perform their last roadshow!
The lights went off and the people sat still to welcome the first scene. The music plays, the first character poses and whallaahh, the show began! It was exquisite. Superb in the eyes of the spectators, and a success to the people behind the show. I am so proud of my Youth! They did a very splendid job that even I did not expect how good they turned out on stage! The whole time, I was smiling and taking pictures of my young men and young women singing while they dance and having fun while they performed.
They made me so proud to be their teacher.
That moment I realized that hard work and practice really pays off. To the choreographers, props makers and the script writers, I commend them all for doing a great job. I know the road was not that easy. They've been through ups and downs and had spent a great deal of patience to the youth when their natural attitude shallows up. I have been there and yes, it is never easy.
To my senior students, Sandra and Mabel, you've been wonderful the whole time! :D You make me proud! Eventhough outside class, we are barkadas but as a teacher, I indeed was impressed of how you took responsibility for your roles as seniors and as Ates during the show and even throughout the Youth Conference. Its comforting to know that the lessons that you have learned have been seen applied to the outside world. You both did well and I look forward to be once again collegue in the Singles Conference soon.
To everyone behind the success, well, it was A JOB WELL DONE.
