Student from Burdeos expresses gratitude

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
