From imparting knowledge on different subject matters to sharing life lessons, looking after students’ needs while in school to doing double duty as friends and counselors, teachers serve as the second parents of the students. They are role models who mold young individuals to become better versions of themselves, inspiring them to dream and persevere to achieve those dreams.
But these teachers were once students too, and like the young minds they are guiding now, they also aspired for a brighter future for themselves and their families.
Such is the story of Jerome Madla, an SCG Sharing the Dream scholar who dreamed of becoming a teacher and in 2015, finally realized that dream. Jerome Madla joined today’s modern heroes when he passed the Licensure Exam for Teachers (LET) out of a total of 149, 905 examinees.[1]
