After a long time searching for the right person who worthy and fit for the interview. And finally me and my partner Charmaine Bianca Esclanda arrived at the same idea the right person for the interview was the Principal III of Don Emilio Salumbides Elementary Schoool, Ms. Leonida Alano Olanda.

To tell the truth, I’m not really interested or not exited to conduct this interview. To me it’s just a waste of time and additional activities given to us. But, I was wrong, Our teacher Mr. Cacho has a good purpose of giving us this activities.

After our interview with Ms. Olanda we have gained the insights on her career. Being a teacher is not just an ordinary career. It was very heroic and challenging career, beacause teching children and managing your life is not easy. And after she said this phrase “ as you grow old with your chosen career, you fell in love with it that you cannot leave it anymore “ for me this phrase is very inspirational and in reality it’s true.

I made up my mind in this interview our teacher has a purpose that in the future this interview will help us choosing the right career to be chosen.

And this activity of interviewing a person the insight knowledge gained from interviews can provide an in-depth understanding about a topic.

Sweats fell off and our heads ached as we search for the right person who is worthy for an interview. Finally, after several days of brianstorming, we successfully arrived at the same idea that is best suited for the two of us – Angelica Alcantara and yours truly,

Before we conducted this interview, what I had in mind was to “fulfill this project in our English subject” not knowing that after this day, 18^th of September 2009, my insights regarding my future career will be greatly affected.

When we were there, right infront of Mrs. Leonida Alano Olanda who is the Principal III of Don Emilio Salumbides Elementary School, I thought that I have seen an angel in disguise because the words that came out of her mouth seemed so inspiring and gentle for my ears. These ears that are craving for advices from different people from such business because I know that I will later face to further development of my skills, that is, the college life.

I can share some of her words that served an inspiration to me:

*Most siblings of a teacher became successful in their chosen proffesions because they are guided well. Also, most of them folows the path of their parents,

*As you grows old with your chosen career, you fell in love with it that you cannot leave it anymore.
