She didn't just teach me Math. What I loved the most about her, is she taught me how to grow up and be myself inspite what other people say. She taught me to pray every night, and let Jesus help me on all things I can never do on my own. Life isn't about trying to impress people, she'd say. It's about praising God, and sharing His gospel. I took her message with me everyday. Every time I'd hear people judging me behind my back, I just shake that thought off and tell myself, "I don't exist here to impress them. I'm here to worship God." And then I'd feel better. Thanks to her and her inspiring words, I can get through any bad day and smile like nothing happened.
Right now, she's in the United States. She started working there since the first quarter. And I've never been so upset to hear about that. I miss her everyday. I miss her comforting words. I miss her company. Sometimes, she would call my phone and I'd hear her voice once again. And I'd be so happy. She never forgets about me. She's still that caring mother figure to me and to my former classmates. She knows I love her, and I know she loves me. She's Mrs. Evelyn Rojas- Paulo.
