Dear Sponsor,

Greetings of Peace!

School year 2007-2008 has gone so fast; I wrote to you because I love to share with you my memorable, fun and exciting yet enlightening experience during my second year in collage.

In our first semester, I, together with my classmates conduct an observation in Baler National High School which focuses on the attitudes and behavior of the students. I found it very exciting because I’m dealing with high school students and some of them are even older than me. I also joined the theater arts groups in our school and I’m very proud and honor to say that I’m one of the performers in our cultural presentation. It was the 60th Foundation Anniversary of the Mount Carmel College. It was so memorable because I really work hard to be a proud member of the production.
In my second semester, again, we had an observation but this time it was held inside the campus. It was fun. We have to observe the instructional materials and teaching strategies used by the teachers in educating the students. My first ever lesson plan and demonstration teaching also take place during my second semester. But the best part was when I served as a catechist in Roberto Zubia Elementary School voluntarily. Teaching the word of God is very noble and meaningful experience. I find myself renewed everyday. And sharing it with my students every Thursday was a wonderful and joyful experience. Every time we met, I made sure that I offered them my best by sharing and educating them about the Bible and what is written on it and how important it is in our lives. I make it a point that it will be easy for them to interact and absorb my teachings by using different and colorful visual aids such as drawings, songs and wide variety of stories.

I owe to you everything and to the foundation. What I am right now is possible because of you all. Let this letter show you my deepest and sincerest appreciation. My family would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for giving us this one of a kind opportunity. You all came to our lives as a gift from God. And all I can give in return, in my simplest way, was rendering or helping others without expecting anything in return. I promise to you that as long as I can, I will give my time for the community service.

More power to you and to Metro Infanta Foundation.

May the good Lord Bless you all.

Truly yours,
Rosechelle Ann D. Lagao

3. Prayer Writing Contest
4. Participation in workshop-Seminar

My participation in these activities have resulted to garnering an award as the second placer among the students in second year with the most extra curricular activities participated. More so, with my great determination and patience I have improved academically during the last school year 2007-2008. I was included among the students with outstanding performance. Much better during my first year where I received an honor award.

It is through this letter that I appeal to my beloved sponsors to continue your support up to my college education. I can assure you that I will share my success with other deserving students who are in need of assistance to sustain the noble deeds of your ministry.

Greetings of Peace!!!

First of all, I would like to say Hi and Hello!! I hope that you are in good health and always doing fine. I want also to say thank you very much for your undying support and to extend my sincerest gratitude to all people behind Metro Infanta Foundation with the coordination of Socio-pastoral Institute.

At this point I've already finished my second year in college and am now ready to face new challenges in this college life. I can't believe that I'm going to be in third year college. I stilI remember the first time I went to Manila. I was fearful of possible accidents. I was afraid because I've lived for many years in the province. Then I said to myself, "I have to experience all kinds of things because I know everything happens for a reason, a reason that could change my life. I know I have to overcome my doubts and fears for my own good. And I told myself that I will never be the same again.

In regards to my study, I'm doing well, but it's not easy. Everything is new to me and very different from my entire high school life.My first year was period of adjustment, while in second year was not as difficult. I learned how to earn respect from my co-students as well as my teachers and professors. I also learned how to be a confident students.

One of the most memorable experiences for me was my first practice teaching English. Although I know it was an opportunity for me , I also felt uneasy. I must perform well and I must give my best shot because it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I do believe, however, that God will make me a good teacher. I also know that my fellow students, my teachers and also God trust me. I was pleased that eventually I did well according to my class and also the critics. Indeed it was of the meaningful experiences I ever had.

I am very thankful because there are people like you who are willing to help people who want to reach their dreams and ambitions. In return I want to do well so my family and others. I hope that you will continue your good will and I pray will God bless you always. Happy Summer Vacation. More power and may Almighty Father protect you and shower you with His blessings.

Being a Teacher is like giving food for the whole life of others.

Once again thank you very much for having a good heart.

In Christ,
Leomar E. Eusebio
