1. Select 6 pictures of a successful teachers in the field of teaching. Place it on the photo board.
2. Choose one to be analyzed and featured.
3. Begin writing. What is he/she doing to achieve success? What are his/her favorable privileges
and benefits in field of teaching? Tell the difference of what is he/she today? 5-10 years ago?
and 5-10 years ahead?
The reason why I choose Mr. Niel Canoy, it is because of his determination on
conquering some challenges and trials before his success. He really sacrifice his time for
himself for him to be able to achieve his goal although he said we should take care of our health
first, he also told us in his past years, that there is one time that he almost gave up on his
dreams because of the treatment of his parents but his brother didn’t also give up on him so he
keep chasing his dreams and that is to help and to teach students someday and as of now, he
is one of the top teachers in our school when I was still in SHS. I also love when he is always
there for us in our needs whenever we are facing some kind of challenges and trials that almost
affect our mental health, he always said to us that we should help ourselves because at the end
of the day all we trust here in this world is ourselves and God. We are just so thankful to have
an adviser like him, he is different to all teachers in our school since I was SHS, We can’t
imagine and think that what if we are not his students, maybe we’ll give up on our dreams easily
and look like we loss to our battle because I can see myself now in battle, fighting for the
success and aiming for the victory.
