It was 2015 when it seems I was called to enroll in an EDUCATION class, while working at the same time.
I took up 18units for a year and passed the licensure examination for PROFESSIONAL TEACHER as well in 2017.
Many EXTRAORDINARY things happen to me while studying.
Example:
1. In the classroom, I suddenly feel dizzy out of nowhere. Our teacher was very busy teaching on board, I was seated at the very back. I wanted to call her but I hesitated, but she suddenly caught my eye out of nowhere and I just made a gesture to go out of the room.
I was rushing, I thought I was just hungry, so I went downstairs in a hurry to buy something in the small canteen.
I passed by the long corridors, climbed down the stairs and saw my other classmate down the stairs and asked me where to go.
I ate a cup of noodles and a little snack to ease my mind. After that, I turned back and along the corridor near the stairs, my classmate was still there, and she said, "Ma'am (our teacher) passed by here earlier, after you."
And I replied, "No, it's impossible. She was in the class when I left the room, busy teaching on the board."
But she insisted that our teacher chased after me?
We ended our conversation for me to return to the class. But as I entered the room, our class teacher was there! And I asked my seatmate too if she left the room after I left, but she said, "NO".
It was creepy, who chased after me? That strange creature imitated our teacher's appearance.
2. I went to my classmate's place in the NUN convent. She was a working student there. While walking down the road going there, my small phone suddenly rang inside my bag. I saw that it's my mother's number. I picked it up but no one was speaking. I just heard her talking to other people in the background. Later on, she noticed her phone and said, "HELLO! Why did you call?"
And I told her, "YOU CALLED ME? NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND."
But she insisted that it's me who's calling her, her phone rang as well.
We just laughed it off and brushed it aside.
3. While in the room, studying with all my books scattered on my bed, in my rented room in Makati, my small keypad phone suddenly rang. I picked it up immediately but no one's speaking until I put it down. I checked the details of the caller but there was none, no number shown.
I enjoyed my class there, meeting new people, and some of them were older than me.
I didn't practice teaching in COLLEGES or UNIVERSITIES.
I thought, "I am not using my teaching course."
But the LORD JESUS said, "NO, you are using it now."
"Don't underestimate yourself, ever again." He said.
