Interview for Student Teachers November 20, 2009

It was almost nine when the interview for the student teachers started. We were so electrified by the tense and nervous. We were called one by one to enter in the room, which we thought was as hot as hell that can melt us. All of the sudden, anyone who were called could not resist from yelling. Maybe, it was one way to get out the anxious feelings.

The time has come. I was seating in front of the three professional interviewers. I felt a little nervous.

I introduced myself with confidence but I was worrying of one thing, one thing that could affect all the aspects in me. I did not think of it as the unlucky day for me but then, I can feel that it suddenly slow down. Yes, it can affect all. Without it, perhaps, I will lose my confidence. I felt my hearing was declining and it ruined my day.

When Mr. Ramon H. Nuiz, principal of the Basic Education Department, gave his question, I was so mesmerized. I wanted to be out of the world, I heard nothing. So, I gestured him ‘come again, Sir’ and so the question had been repeated almost three times before I can give back my answer. It does not happen at once, it happens even when Dr. Meda D. San Juan, Dean of Liberal Arts and Education Department, gave her questions…almost all of the questions.

Dr. Delia Casano, Head of the NCF Guidance and Testing Center, kept on observing the way I think, I talked and perhaps, the way I was out of my mind for not hearing the questions.

After a very few questions, Mr. Nuiz told me “Thank you, James”. It appeared to be comical. I was asked a very few questions in the interview which I really wanted to be challenge. Because of my hearing impairment, I ended up irritated. It was my unlucky day.

When I came home, I was so sad. I told myself, I have to do a best performance in the teaching field. It is one way to prove them that even though I have this hearing problem, I can make a difference for my students.
