Ma’am Tamayo’s hometown is originally in Bataan. When they moved in Pampanga, she actually applied in Holy Angel University as a college professor, where she taught first year education students. Coincidentally, her entry year at HAU was the same time where the strike happened. Being a new teacher, she admitted that it kind of caused trauma which led her to resign the following year. Fortunately, she easily got accepted in RLLMHS. However, there weren’t any vacancies in the English department, so she was given loads in Araling Panlipunan instead. Of course as a teacher, you have to respond to the needs of the students, so she took the challenge and taught Araling Panlipunan for several years in Grade 7.
Luckily, this year, she already got aligned in her field of specialization. She currently handles English subjects for Grade 10 students, she is also the class adviser of 10-Dingel, and also the adviser of the English Club. I admire her for her courage, patience, and effort to still teach even though she has to educate herself with the lessons under Araling Panlipunan even though she was trained to be an English teacher. I guess if you really have the heart for teaching, subject matter is just one factor to consider, but that should not be the only indicator whether you’ll continue teaching or not.
