   June 14, start of school days all over the country. The weather is cloudy, the azure sky seems can't be able to see, even a little beat by the naked eyes. It is not the first time that Sir Adam P. Alcaraz will be able to handle a high school class, because before he got hired in Marry Magdala Academy, he already procured an experience from St. Mathew Academy, the school where he first undertook teaching.

   While walking in the covered-path, holding his file case in his right hand aiming to reach the faculty room immediately, he met a woman slightly pale in color, he offered her a gentle smile and the woman smiled back, but she looked very shy at him. She was Ma'am Jane Rivera, a second year adviser, she looked 24 years old and wearing an eye glasses. Before Sir Adam enter to the faculty, he made a deep breath, and after, walked toward to the room thinking this is the continuance of his career for being a teacher.

   He was assigned as a new adviser of the fourth year students, section El San Nicolas. He is determined with self-reliance to do his teaching as a passion and also to earn money. Absolutely the foremost reason why he transferred to Marry Magdala Academy from St. Mathew Academy, because the salary he was earning from that school was inadequate to sustain the medical treatment of his sister named Hannah. Who is seriously suffering under a terrible disease known as, Brain Cancer. At the present time, she's still confine on St. Augustia hospital. His sister is the only family he had, because their parents were already dead. Their father died, because of a car accident, who was a former teacher in the same school where he got hired. And their mother died, in the time when Adam was ten years old, caused of the pain she suffered and killed her when she was giving birth to his sister.

    After the ceremony, he walked upstairs and proceeded to the room where he assigned, which was located at the second floor. With the height of his dignity, he faced all of his new students and was very well greeted by them, they said;
"Good morning Sir!"

Adam smiled looking at them and replied gayly, "Good morning too!"
