6. The Math Enthusiast
She is strict in implementing rules in order to discipline her
students, but she is considerate for those who deserve consideration.
For her, students nowadays are uncontrollable. There is no need
for her to control them because if they want to learn they will
participate or cooperate. She will rather be strict and earn respect
than being considerate and earn appreciation.
In terms of changing student’s bad behaviors, she will not use
force (corporal punishment) because it is against the law. She does
believe that a student will change his/her behaviors or attitudes along
their journey in life through their experiences.

her class, she will just inform them the advantages and disadvantages
of using such gadget and it is up to them on how they will manage
such information.

7. The Optimistic One
To control her emotions and not to hurt a student, she stated, "I have to count for 10
seconds or more than that to control my anger towards my student. I always bear in my mind
that letting my emotions overpower me would always lead to something that I would regret
later."
For preferring being loved or being feared, she pointed out, "I believe that everyone
would always preferred to be loved than being feared since it would make you feel cared by
someone dearest to you. I want them not to feel scared to confide their problems and vice-
versa. If you are being loved, trust towards each other will develop eventually."
According to her, "In manipulating my problems, I've been dealing with so much
problems in life, but what makes me strong and still standing tall is that I always believe that
in every problem, there is always a solution. I seek advice from experts and deal with it
positively."
For disciplining misbehaved students, she remarked, “I should call their attention and
reprimand them that what they did is not right. Proper reinforcement should be applied in
every action. A teacher should have consistency in conducting reinforcement and if a student
is changing or improving then he or she must be acknowledged."
During a time that problems reigns her mind, as a professional teacher, she stated, "I
reflect what I did and think of what should I do to solve the problems. Anyway, I deal with
problems positively. I like pressure. It proves on what extent I can do as a teacher."
She is one of the optimistic teachers whose positive thoughts about life are shared
towards her colleagues. She is a Science, MAPEH and English teacher. She is Ms. Shiera Lyn
