The Agony of Retiremet

Loida S. Rayman

I will be sixty five(65) years old this coming September and also my called my service to end in the Department of Education. If I will go back the nostalgia from practice teaching , observation and participation and the time that I was able to passed the Philippine Board Exam for Teacher(PBET)during that time It was administered by the Cvil Service Commission. I was young time full of vigor, I do not remember students who passed in my life and I hope some of them followed my foostep.. I have a bucket of list for the day of retirement. I will try to read again the Holy Bible in Brief edited and arranged by James Reeves.

The Basic story of the Old and New Testament told as one clear, continues narrative in the worlds of the authorized King James text, the Inferno by Dante translated by John Ciardi. One of the world’s great poetic masterpieces in a new verse translation in Modern English by a noted contemporary poet, Iliad of homer translated by W. H. D Rouse. A brilliant prose translation of Homer’s great epic about the Trojan War by a noted English Scholar, The Saying of Confucipous A New Translation by James R. Ware. The saying of the greatest wise man of ancient China, a classic which teaches such ageless virtues of civilized men in duty, devotion to family tradition and justice to all, How the Great Religions Began by Joseph Gaer. An always timely, easy – to- read guide to mans unending quest for the spiritual , vividly told through the inspiring lives of the world’s religious leader. Do I sound to back again in teaching? Yes for private school in the end there will be a beautiful rainbow that will appear after the storm.

I will also follow the words of Victoria Moran according to her” I once hated the way that ate but couldn’t change it. The difference started when I gave up willpower for the power of Love- Love for myself and from myself, for other and from them, and grounded in the Love that is also power.

I’m calling that God.You can call it whatever you like. It ha, byany name a life beyond the fix that’s filled with hope and humor and expectation. Tapping that power is essential for addicts to live again, and my hunch is that some of that same power is needed for almost anyone to make major lifestyle changes that last. If you do not believein miracles, or if you think that they don’t happen anymore, just come to my house for dinner.

In the end when ser vant .”.
