WE MAKE DREAMS A REALITY.

MARECIL M GERMONES

Fairies are true, but instead of magic wands they have sticks and instead of fairy dusts they have chalk dusts.

From rags to riches, education has made a lot of Cinderella stories possible. It made hard work and perseverance of students worth it, more than that it also removed the 12 o clock deadline for the princess which meant that the dream come true is not an overnight escapade, but an achievement of a lifetime. It never required a shoe to fit on to make a dream come true all it asked for is the dedication, the commitment, the perseverance and the hard work. Teachers led the way through all the obstacles they do not teach which way to take, but only told us the consequences, they illumine our paths towards the destination towards our happy ever after.

If we want a happy ever after we must be like Belle we must accept the not so acceptable face of education, a path towards our dreams a path of challenge and obstacles the beast, a face of a terrible creature that should be loved. Often we see this face and most of the people do not realize that beyond this face of life there is what we want what we ask for a realization of our dream a moment and a state of fulfillment and a payback of a thousandfold.

Beyond all of these we must never forget the true essence of education we must listen to Pocahontas who said, “We can own the Earth, but all we own is earth until we can paint with the colors of the wind” we must realize that it is not the boy with the most toys that win the game of life, but the boy who enjoyed it. We must never forget that before we were taught of our craft we were persons first.

A Happy ever after is not possible without any magic, but when we say magic the magic words are hard work, perseverance and commitment which are all can be seen in one word, Education.
