I was initially a high school teacher, but moving to Australia from the Philippines, I observed a huge difference between the behaviour of the students here and from my home country. I thought I'm just not cut out to be a high school teacher here. So I applied for a relief teaching position in a Christian private school here from where I live, and thankfully, they accepted me. The school's Early Learning Centre offered me to work there, and since 2015, I have been teaching in ELC, and I really love the atmosphere, working with my fellow early childhood educators and the children.

you must have the patience of a saint

haha!!! I can be patient, but sometimes these young people do push their boundaries and my patience is always tested, that's for sure! But I love my job... I consider it my ministry.
