I taught as catechist in a non-sectarian school in Davao City sometime in 1995. The room was near a major road in Davao making it difficult to compete with the noise of passing cars. It was a test of patience and determination on my part.
On my last day with the students, I received the most meaningful gift in my career as a teacher. A student put something in my pocket while I was exiting the room. When I pulled it out, it was a wallet- a gift form this student. What made the gift more meaningful was the fact that it came from a student who was considered by other teachers as problematic. In fact, he has many absences in class. Not only that, this student who gave me a gift was a Muslim. I was teaching about Christ in our class. I could never forget that experience. I considered myself at that time as the best teacher in the world. What a happy life indeed to be a teacher.
