During the first week back in school I had my students write down their new years resolutions. They shared them with the class and we even had a little ceremony. It got me thinking what I want to accomplish this year, so here goes:
1.On top of learning Ilokano, I will learn one word of Kankanaey every day.
2. Communicate better with my co-teacher.
3. Have a defined objective everyday for every class that I teach.
4. Learn how to play my favorite country song on the guitar.
5. By the end of the school year, I will know the name of every student in this school.
6. Help the SK (youth government) conduct at least one leadership training.
7. Teach the teachers how to type.
8. Help conduct at least two teacher trainings this year.
9. Do whatever I can to help the school get running water.
10. Save enough allowance to buy a Sagada Woven Bag.
11. Instill some spirit in this community and the school.
12. Fulfill the request of my Barangay Captain to help create an American-Filipino Friendship monument.
13. Help start a "Save the Watershed" campaign.
14. Do a better job of communicating with friends and family back home.
15. See the ocean. Besides Manila Bay.
16. Learn the tinikling dance.
17. Successfully kick the ball over the net in sepaktakraw.
18. Cook a flawless pot of rice.
19. Climb to the peak of Mt. Pulog.
20. See Sagada and the Banaue Rice Terraces.
21. Make rice wine for my birthday.
And there you have it. Wish me luck!
