BACK STAGE PRODUCTION

MADELYN D. BAUTISTA

Mostly we hear lots of students’successful stories. From nothing to somebody and from nothing to everything. These are indeed stories worth to tell. Students strive to finish schooling to have a good job for their families’future. Parents did all to support their children’s education to guarantee the best future for their children. Success requires perseverance and constant reminder of one’s purpose of doing all what it takes to chase these dreams. Just like any other Broadway shows, it is applauded by people with standing ovation.

We rarely hear stories of people who were at the back stage and did all the chores to present the greatest show ever. Those good days and bad days at the backstage. There are days when problems popped up and persons on the backstage are the one who find ways to solve it. There are days of celebration and appreciation. But just like backstage production, these people quietly work to give the best show.

Teachers and school personnel are the production team. They seldom show themselves on stage because they are busy preparing, doing the tasks and cleaning the mess after the show. They are just happy to see the main characters on stage playing their role and march the actors’road to success. They find peace knowing that the job was done and was accomplished with great pride and honor. Prepare the citizens of the nations to prepare for the better future. Those are US. May we always have the blockbuster show and congratulate our actors from our hearts.
