After more than three months of not teaching , I'll be starting at another school on Saturday. It's a big leap for me, after teaching for 4 years in the same college, I've decided to to try something new. This new school is very near my office and my home, just about 20 minutes from either. The only hitch is Saturday classes since I work full-time. This new school doesn't have classes after 6PM, so I'm forced to take the Saturday classes. I teach from 9AM-4:30 PM (gaah!). Besides being in a new school, I will also be teaching a new subject. Being the new kid on the block, they gave me a subject that is "least desirable" for a teacher. I teach Introductory Accounting this summer. I can just imagine it... introducing Accounting to students who would rather be enjoying their days in the beach, mountains, or wherever other than a classroom...Oh well...
And to add to all that, I now have to prepare new teaching materials. I can just see myself cramming presentation materials, exercises, quizzes, exams, etc...
Oh, wait a minute, why again am I doing this???

Ibang klase ka talaga, Reggie darling. Always working and/or learning and/or improving your skill set. That's why you're so successful.

Thanks for your kind words, D. But I think I still have a lot to accomplish to be called "successful".:-)
Some reasons why you are doing this (in random order):
1. You want an excuse not to do housework on Saturdays.
2. The workaholic in you gets withdrawal symptoms when you are not cramming.
3. The school environment makes you feel young again.
4. Teaching has such intrinsic rewards. (:-)
5. You enjoy doing things that you are good at.
6. You are really into the family teaching tradition!
Hey Mom, haha! your #1 is so funny!!!
