The pandemic has really change lives and created a big impact especially in the educational system. This situation leads educators to find alternatives to the traditional teaching (face to face classes), learning methods, and practices. For two consecutive school years, it challenges our capacities, skills, and knowledge as we receive information through online platforms. The educators still provide learners the quality education and committed to the mission to attain its vision. Various online teaching strategies, methods, and approaches have been utilized.

Despite the challenges that we have been facing, teachers are doing their best to provide quality education to students for them to reach their full potentials. They remained resilient and continue to inspire students to achieve their dreams in life.

Educational challenges and hardships served as trials to learners, but these made them more resilient and wiser. They are thankful to their teachers, mentors and life coaches for the learning, skills, expertise, and values which are wholeheartedly imparted to them. Those will be their weapons to their future careers. Their humble achievements are the fruit of their labors. They are not afraid in facing challenges. They pursue their dreams. They get tired but don’t give up. They become vulnerable but are willing to continue. They may have failed but restarted over again just to attain their goals and dreams. Their dreams haven’t change but the time frame to achieve it has changed.

As the school year ends, learners are one step forward in making their dreams to become a reality. Another journey has yet to come to continue dreaming and striving. As Anatole France quoted, “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan but believe.”
