DAILY ROUTE TO WORK

MY WALK FROM HOME TO MY WORKING PLACE

According to Mark Twain, "Find a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life". That's me, enjoying my life as a public school teacher here in the Philippines.

For those who don't know me, I am Brenda Jumao-as Ornopia, a Public School Teacher at Caduawan Elementary School, Caduawan, Tabogon, Cebu, Philippines. The school where I am working is just a five-minute walk away from home. Come with me today as I walk towards work and back home.

Every morning, I take a short walk in the garden and today I was accompanied by our dog. Every time I head to work, I always make sure to walk around the garden and check if some stray dogs left feces in my garden, and when I see one, even if I tend to be running late, I make sure to clean it up first. I love to see my garden clean and tidy.

All clear! My garden was clean and tidy enough so I can now head to work. But before so, I pose in front of my house. Who else aside from me loves to strike a pose when you just get ready for work?

The Beauty of Caduawan Elementary School

This school is located near the highway. It is surrounded by many trees and fruit trees. Like mahogany trees, acacia, and Nara and other trees. The fruit trees like mangoes, jack fruits, and coconut trees. These trees help to prevent gas pollution and give a fresh breath and a good shadow. Pollution is a danger to our health and will lead us to illness.
