First week

    After arriving at Central Luzon State University. The first activity I did was we attended the flag raising ceremony and at the same time the campus introduced us as a student exchange participant from Indonesia. After the flag raising ceremony was over, I along with the dean of the College of Education, met with the president of Central Luzon State University in his office, we took some pictures. After the completion of the course we are invited to the College of Education to orientate in order to briefly introduce the profile of the Philippines and the short profile of CLSU. After the lunch break, we were invited to the school that we would be teaching while in the Philippines, the school was called University Science High School (USHS). The school has excellent educational facilities such as cctv cameras, projectors and air conditioners in each classroom, an adequate library and a teacher room with a Wi-Fi network. In addition to the exceptional quality of teachers, most teachers have master degrees, and students who have a very high learning willingness. My first day in school was very heavy because I could not adjust to the school hours that started from 7.30 am to 5.00 pm.

 

     The second day I was at USHS, I was introduced to a cooperating teacher who would guide me while I was in USHS. After that, I was invited by the teacher to enter the class and see how he taught. I was amazed by the teacher, because during his teaching he always uses english and students can understand the material well. My cooperating teacher taught in seventh grade, ten and eleven. He is very good to his students, so his students are very happy if this teacher goes to their class. We were at school until 5 p.m, after which we were allowed to return to the inn. After arriving at the inn, I took a short break and headed straight for the market to buy food supplies and some other necessities for several days.

     The third day I was at USHS, I met with internships at USHS from the College of Education, Central Luzon State University. The first time I met them, I really wanted to get to know them as soon as possible. At that time we were brought together in an orientation at USHS. They are very nice people, they love to joke and often make me laugh. At that orientation, we were introduced to USHS profiles, USHS rules, USHS appraisal methods, and education systems used at USHS. In this orientation I was also assigned to be a co-advisor for class 7 adventurers with two of my other apprentices sir Jezreel and sir rich under Mario's guidance. At that time it was submitted that for apprentices will be placed in AVR room and in that room we get closer and familiar.
