I’m really leaving the science lab

I had to get up so early. My first day’s work in school was going to be the inventory of science lab equipment. The school is kinder to me this school year; I am not given an advisory class. Consequently, I have to give up my position as science lab in-charge. I used to handle the science lab since its completion. I have had lots of memories there with my previous third year students. Now, the lab is only one of the buildings I would see in school. The present lab in charge Ma’am Neneng helped me out in accounting the equipment. Thank God we have six students who assisted us in the carrying of the apparatuses. Ma’am Neng gave me a nice snack after the inventory.

As soon as I left the lab room, there was a sensation of loneliness. I realized I was really leaving the science lab. Well, that’s life. But I’m still in school. My framed certificates are still there inside the science lab. I still belong. For now, I have to go on with what I am being assigned to - a teacher in general education, handling one Biology class and a SPED teacher, catering SPED classes in Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
