Mint Academy ▒ Chapter thirteen

"Very good. How did you know about it?" Tanong sakin ni sir at nag aalangan pa akong sagutin but I dont have any choice kaya sinagot ko na lang at ang lola mo napapaenglish ako.

"My mother told me about Morphine."

"By any chance is your mother a pharmacist?"

"Yes sir."

"Okay back to the topic." Sabi nya and everyone are eager to listen. Gusto din nila mavery good I know. "What is Pilio?"

Pilio? I never heard it before? Tiningnan ko ang mga classmate ko at mukhang nag iisip sila pero si Yana nakuha ko ang tingin nya she knows the answer, teka anyare sakin bakit nag eenglish ako? Ay bahala na nga. Tiningnan ko si Yana at nag nod sa kanya then she raised her left hand.

"Yes?" Tawag sa kanya si Sir.

"Pilio was a disease that affected thousands of people and many victims were left paralyzed for life."

"Very good." Tiningnan ko sya at nag thumbs up kaya nginitian nya naman ako. "An American physician Mr. Jonas Salk developed the first effective vaccine against pilio. Like what the girl said in class 1-A it affect a thousands of peopla and many of them paralyzed for life, means they cant walk nor naman anymore. The year 1955 was the year when the vaccine was declared safe and effective and Salk became a national hero."

Kung ikaw ba naman kasi makadiscovered ng makakaligtas sa lahat ng tao bakit di ka pa magiging hero di ba? Pero kung sabagay may ilan nga na di nagiging hero kahit na iligtas na nila.

"Who discovered the antibiotics?" This time si Min naman ang nagtaas ng kamay kaya naman napangiti ang mga classmates namin dahil sa amin kaming tatlo ang active kaming di ganun kagaling sa academic  "Ano class 1-B wala bang makakasagot sa inyo? Class 1-A lang ba ang estudyante ko dito?" Galit na wika ni sir.

Agad na napababa si Min ng kamay dahil bigla na lang nagalit si sir. Mukhang nagulat naman ang 1-B kaya walang nagsalita sa kanila.

"This is your major Class 1-B and still you didn't know? This is the basic trivia and hindi nyo alam? Mga class Science ba talaga kayo?" Napayuko na lang ang mga class B at wala din naman kaming magawa "Forget it. Okay Ms. Answer the question and please explain it." Sabi ni sir at nag nod naman si Min.

"Alexander Fleming, A doctor ans bacteriologist who discovered the world's first antibiotic after finding a bacteria- destroying mold which he would call penicillin. The antibiotic eventually came into use during World War II, revolutionizing battlefield medicine and, on a broader scale, the field of infection control."

"Very good class 1-A you met my expectations and for you class 1-B I am very disappointed. Next time try to read your notes okay?"

"Yes sir" mahina namang sagot ng class 1-A.

"What disease that had killed millions of people for centuries and when it was eliminated?"

Wala pa ring tumataas ng kamay sa class 1-B at mukhang wala talagang may alam ng sagot sa kanila. Nakita kong nagtaas ng kamay si Henry kaya naman napatingin kami sa kanya.
"Smallpox, 1980."

"Elaborate please." Sabi naman ni sir.

"Edward Jenner, an English physician who introduced the world's first vaccination as a preventive treatment for smallpox, a disease that had killed a millions of people over the centuries. Because of his great medical breakthrough, the World Health Organization declared smallpox an eliminated disease in 1980." Nag nod naman si Sir at saka tumingin sa class 1-B "May idadagdag ba kayo? Class 1-A lang ba talaga ang estudyante ko dito?"

Siguro kung ako nasa part ng class b masasaktan ako. Major ko pero wala akong alam ganyan na ganyan ako dati kapag tinatawag ako ang kagandahan lang dito di kami pinagtatawanan.
