A Special Sypmhony

  The Special Symphony is really a must-see movie. This movie follows the journey of Jayden (Christian Bautista), a Filipino musician struggling in his life’s purpose. At some point, I know for sure that we also have experienced this way wherein we are not sure of which way to go. We often doubt on our calling and worse, turn our backs from it.

Aside from the calling or knowing our purpose in life, the movie also have shown how hard it is to become a teacher. As a future educator, classroom management really is one of the difficult tasks to handle inside the classroom. We truly must be strategic and must think of ways on how to make the teaching-learning process worthwhile. We are dealing with different pupils with different backgrounds, cultures, traditions and even personalities but this is not a hindrance to not give them what they deserve. There are truly lots of reasons why learning is hindered in the teaching-learning process. Some of these are lack of classroom management, inexperience when it comes to handling classes and language barriers as well. Nonetheless, if we are determined and passionate about teaching, those hindrances will surely be overcome.

I really liked the character of Jayden in this movie because he showed compassion to her pupils (which have special needs) and passion with what he is doing that he could even sacrifice her dream for their sake. Even though he faced lots of challenges and even some doubted his capabilities in teaching, still, he pursued because he already learned to love what he is doing. Indeed, I was reminded that if you love what you're doing, even if it's hard, you will still pursue and go on because that's what LOVE is all about. According to Henry Adams, A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. And so, as teachers, we really have to do our best for the betterment of our pupils because we have a big role in their lives.
