I am not the head of my department nor of any important professional committees. I have no desire or ambition towards an administrative position. However, it cannot be denied that my leadership abilities, when it comes to important things, are off the chart!
My most recent accomplishment in the world of education was to lead my colleagues in the first annual International School of Manila Beard Growing Competition. This was a three week event that coincided nicely with all our bosses being overseas recruiting new teachers (future beard growers). I am proud to say that we had 16 competitors this year!
After the deadline for unrestricted growth, we took pictures and posted them online. All faculty, staff, and students at ISM are currently voting on line, so I can’t claim victory for myself. However, I’m confident I’ll make top 3.
What purpose did this serve, you may ask? Absolutely none! There were no funds raised, and it benefited society in no way. Awesome eh? And to add to the awesomeness, we’ve begun a week of creative styling. As you can see from the picture above, I’m doing quite well. I’ve made my students refer to me as Mr. Wolverine.*
When I say “we” have engaged in a week of creative styling, I actually mean about 3 of us. All administrators have returned to Manila now, and not all my colleagues share my dedication to the arts, nor the job security of teaching a subject no one else wants to teach.
