When I was still in my first year level, many of my manangs in second year level use to tell me and my other friends to prepare for our second year life. I really don't know why they are telling this to me and to my friends. Until when my first year life is coming to an end, they told me that second year life is hard especially in our Journalism Class because the teacher is a terror. In those times, I was very, very scared to enter my second year life, I even thought of transferring school. Summer ends, and here I am going to second year level. I met my other teachers in different kind of subjects, they were fun. But still in my mind remains what my manangs told me about the Journalism Class. I checked my schedule because I am so tense if what time our Journalism Class will begin.
Here it comes, the most creepy and chilling class...the Journalism Class. The teacher went in, with poise while smiling to us. He introduced his self to us, his name was Mr. Paul Vincent Gerano. In my mind the phrase,"Oh my! this is the person whom my manangs use to tell me. He so scary...so strict!" is circling over and over again. Starting that day, whenever I enter his class I feel like I am challenge to do good in his class. He has a a great knowledge about the world. He know something that we don't know. He really show to us that being teacher must and always be informed what is happening around us. Journalism class is totally different from other class, that is why I really enjoy this class even though the teacher is strict. I always keep on looking forward this class every Tuesday and Wednesday.
Mr. Gerano's class is not a mind-numbing class. This class really makes me awake whenever I am sleepy. In this class we need to brainstorm, to understand more our lessons. During his class he does not lecture and lecture, but instead he set games and quizzes that, at the same time we enjoy and learn. I learn a lot of things to him especially in current events, vocabulary, latest trivia's and etiquette's. These things really help me in my other subjects. When he instill new things to us, my mind is overloading of ideas and things. He even enhance my confidence in speaking fluent English.In his class, it needs your full participation because he really, really hates people yawning and sleeping.
My first impression about this class and the teacher of this class maybe true, but I know he is doing this to prepare us in our future, he wants us to go out from our shells and face the world when we come out from Assumption and I really admire him for doing this. Journalism class is a class that is worth it. When you enter this class you will never regret, for you will learn a lot. So I look forward for more exciting things to learn this school year in our Journalism class.
