CHANGE WE NEED, CHANGE WE MUST?!

CHANGE?  That was the first word boggled my mind that day.  Do I really have to change and is it really a must?  I remembered this controversial slogan during the local election.  It struck me huh? What it really meant to me as a student and as an instructor.  

As we welcomed this New Year, I thought it would be as smooth as I hoped for.  BUT the CHANGE I need wasn’t materialized. I should be punctual all the time whether in class and meetings. It is not comfy to let others wait for you for long hours, though I can even 6 hours or more as long as you promised to come.  

Being late? Well actually am on our first day of class of RSG. I arrived 15 minutes early for our second class but 1 hour and 45 minutes late on our first class. I was so professionally unprofessional because we had our professor waiting.   

Being tardy accepts no excuses

Does change really applicable to all? I have this organization now where all people presumed to be happy and satisfied but the truth is they grumble a lot. Why is it that this organization doesn’t change their present management? Or do we have to adopt to adapt?

Recall: When this org hired me, I was overwhelmed with the position being offered, so I thought it would be the right org for me. When they told me to have my demo, they wanted me to use the conventional way of teaching (manila paper or Betamax?). I am applying as IT Instructor not General Education Instructor, so why go conventional if I can innovate? IT changes rapidly, as well as its ways of teaching. We goal our students to be on TREND and not be left behind, and they are our assets.

Few months after, I realized that the org I am with is not that stable; they still need improvements and change of approach.

As a Club Moderator, I initiated some strategy for them to be more productive through joining another org outside the school like PSITE. This strategy was unusual for them and it was a big leap to be expected. The org is not ready for change in any forms, how can we produce competitive students if we ourselves are not also competitive? So we need change and it is a must.
