TITSER ANNIE
DOKUMENTARYO NI KARA DAVID
A REFLECTION PAPER

What does it really mean to become a teacher? A question that up until now, I am
looking for an answer despite years of public service in DepEd.
In my graduate studies, I was able to find what best describes a teacher. Luckily, my
professor, Dr. Mariano de Jesus, gave us something to watch that made me reflect internally.
Titser Annie was a documentary by Kara David of I-Witness. Although this kind of
teaching setup is not new to my knowledge, still, it was able to touch my heart all over again.
And I realized how lucky I am in my school station.
Despite different situations that we have, it is always essential that we value each other's
contribution for the sake of educating our children---for the purpose of nation-building. I am just
lucky enough that I don't need to walk much distance just to arrive at school; public transport is
available 24/7. All school learning materials are delivered by courier; I don't need to carry them
using my own hands and shoulders. I don't need to become a carpenter or electrician myself
because someone will do it for me. I am blessed enough more than titser Annie, yet still, I have
lots of complaints.
