Our principal, Mr. Antallan, called out a meeting. It was the FIRST ISLAND TEACHERS MEETING. The agenda were: Mathematics Festival, Attendance of the Teachers, Visitation of the Monitoring Supervisors, Reading Reinforcement, School Beautification and DEDP (Division Education Development Plan).
The meeting started with a prayer led by Miss Rado. It was followed by short message given by the two principals, Mr. Antallan and Ms. Villafranca. To make the meeting interesting, the two principals gave us a mental/psychological test. There were 10 questions. Instead of answering in the paper, we used the tissue paper. The test called “TISSUE PHSYCHOLOGY”. It is to prove that bathroom tissue is not only used in the toilet but it can be utilized to other uses. After we checked our answers, Mr. Antallan, gave the interpretations on how we utilized the tissue. The interpretations were:
1. If your tissue is still intact: you are graceful, a sensitive person and careful of your belongings and treasures family.
2. If ¾ of the tissue paper was utilized: you are a wise spender, flexible, knows how to balance family and career.
3. Utilized less than half of the tissue paper: you are thrifty, insecure, people who think of tomorrow.
4. If the tissue paper was not utilized: you are a planner (Planning to utilize the paper for its appropriate uses).
The meeting ended by reading a short story entitled: The Butterfly and The Flower
The Butterfly and the Flower
(Source: Reader’s Digest, May 2008)
Once there was a man who asked God for a flower….and a butterfly. But instead, God gave him a cactus ….and a caterpillar. The man was sad; he didn’t understand why his request was mistaken.
Then he thought:
“Oh well, God has too many people to care for….and decided not to question.”
After sometime, the man went to check up on his request that he had left forgotten. To his surprise, from the thorny and ugly cactus a beautiful flower grown. And the unsightly caterpillar had been transformed into the most beautiful butterfly.
God always does things right!
His way is always the best way, even if to us it seems all wrong. If you asked God for one thing and received another, TRUST. You can be sure that He will always give you what you need at the appropriate time. What you want….is not always what you need!
God never fails to grant our petitions so keep on going for Him without doubting or murmuring.
Today’s THORN….Is tomorrow’s FLOWER!
God gives the very best to those who leave the choices up to HIM!
God bless.
