Hive Cebu Teachers' Meet-Up 2023 | An Immense Honor to be With Lifelong Educators

Hello everyone!

I consider myself a lifelong learner because I'm always in pursuit of knowledge, albeit it has morphed more into an informal setting and more for personal fulfillment than professional development. I am also an educator because I offer tutorial services. I love teaching because as Aristotle said, "teaching is the highest form of understanding". Although I can always choose to pursue a career in teaching, I don't want to be bothered by the bureaucracy and the paperwork associated with the profession. That's why I always admire teachers especially those who spent most of their life in the profession.

When @indayclara invited me to join the Hive Teachers' Meet Up in the north of Cebu, I told her to fix the date and that I'll cancel all my plans just to join the event. That sounds dramatic, but it's true. I really admire teachers because most of my young adult life decisions were influenced by my teachers, including the program that I eventually took in college. I was a little bit intimidated by them at first, but I guess mutual admiration won over and everything just became fun. I don't want to discuss more about the meet-up. Just watch the video. You can also check out the individual perspectives of all the attendees.

I'm setting @callmesmile as one of the beneficiaries for the printing of the shirt. I really love the shirt and I learned that the funds used came from her own pocket. I want to have at least a portion of the cost shouldered by a post here in Hive. After all, it's a good Hive promotion.

The video was just a small part of the whole event and what I am excited about are the opportunities opened by that meet-up. Collaborations are to be expected in the future, especially in onboarding more teachers into Hive.
