III. Composition “In a calm sea every man is a pilot. But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at all”—cited from “True Nobility.” There are supposedly ups and downs in life so that life can be made complete. The same is true of one’s teaching, whether it is a long process or not. As a teacher or teacher trainee, what ups and downs have you ever experienced so far in your teaching career, which are engraved in your mind? Elaborate on at least two personal experiences, exhilarating one and harrowing one respectively, and relate your gains from them or reflections on them.

My name is Ma. Christina Antipala from the beautiful country of the Philippines. Working here in Taiwan as a caretaker for almost 3 yrs. Toiling overseas to earn some money in return for my absence is really tough for my family especially my children who need my tender loving care that ironically I provided my patient here. But its only for the meantime because this is not a lifetime job and its only our stepping stone for a better future. So while here I tried to use my spare time learning something that we can bring back home like this photography class. I love taking pictures but I have no idea what’s the meaning these pictures want to tell the viewers, until I attended this class. I discovered that through photography we can express our feelings and emotion and the messages we want to deliver to our viewers. Our point of view can be seen in our works and through pictures, we viewed our sense of self. That’s why it is true when we say that a picture worth a thousand words and I hope that through works you understand our feelings as a migrant and can sense the exact words that our pictures want to tell (Wu, 176: 2008).
