3. “I think in my 22 years of service, my
biggest contribution in our society is
shaping and honing our future
generations. When you are a teacher,
you are not just a teacher. You are a
second parent, a disciplinarian, a
leader, a role model, an encourager, a
motivator, and many more. The best
part of it is to be able to inspire to the
young people each and every day.”

“There are a lot of things that I’ve learned in being
a leader especially to my students. You have to act
like one. You have to be their role model. They will
adapt to what you instill with them. But you know,
being a leader doesn’t always revolve in
disciplining them. To be an effective leader also
means to feel them. You have to understand them
also. You have to extend your heart and your mid
to them. Yes, it requires you to be tough for them
to follow you but you also need to know when to
loose the thread. Being a leader means having a
heart to your followers.”

4. “The most effective method to help women develop is to educate and
assist them, not just my students but also other women in our
society. It is crucial to encourage girls' and women's education. Access
to high-quality primary, secondary, and higher education is one
aspect of this. The promotion of gender equality and increasing
public knowledge of women's rights and issues are equally crucial.
Campaigns, educational initiatives, and media involvement can
accomplish this.
The best method to create long-lasting change and women's
empowerment is frequently to implement a comprehensive strategy
that takes into account several facets of their growth.”

“Up until now, I think what needs to be done
to address women’s concerns is first to hear
them out. Women's issues must be addressed
comprehensively and consistently throughout
many facets of society. It's crucial to include
women in decision-making processes and
make sure their opinions are taken into
consideration when formulating laws and
programs that have an impact on their lives.
And we have to take note that progress in
this area benefits everyone because gender
equality is a societal issue, not just one that
affects women.”
