Journalism with Mr. Geraño

JOURNALISM....!!




Journalism..This subject is not new to me because when I was in the 1st year, we also had this. Honestly, I am not that interested in Journalism so I find it kinda boring. 


But..Journalism this year is really something..!! Yeah, it is true..!! Our facilitator, Mr. Paul Vincent J. Geraño, will really wake up the sleeping lion inside you... He speaks good English that sometimes, when he explains things, I could no longer understand what he is saying. He wants things to be in order. 


During our first meeting, we let our guard down, we took things so lightly that we did not expect Mr. Geraño to be very serious when it comes to Journalism Class...Almost half of the class said that they are really afraid of him. I myself felt that way, too. We all think that Mr. Geraño was no fun..Imagine, every time we meet, it is expected that we will have our test on current events.. Poor me; I am not really interested when it comes to news.. But to be able to pass in this particular subject, I have to listen to the radio, watch news in the television and read news in the magazines and newspapers. 




Facts about Mr.Geraño....
He wants everything to be in order. It pisses him when things get messy anywhere. He was not born yesterday but rather, he was born ages ago so do not act nor expect that you know better than he does. He hates people who does not read their books. During his class, he does not want to see anyone yawning nor not sitting properly. It pisses him even more if you cannot answer his question and the fact is that the answer is found in the book then he would tell the whole class, "Do not look at me plainly. Answer!" and "Girls, hindi niyo ko pag paakiga kay ga saka gd ang bagangan sa ulo ko". If you still cannot answer his question(s), he will tell you "Even my one year old dog knows it..". And, oh, He likes and idolizes Mrs. Miriam Defensor Santiago. Every time he sees Mrs. Santiago, he would say, "Oh! She is my idol." He idolizes Mrs. Miriam Defensor Santiogo (according to what Mr. Geraño said) because, in a way, they have similarities--how fierce the both of them are!


What most of us think about Mr. Geraño....
You might think he is too harsh, well, that is "kinda" right. He is just being a little bit to us because that is how he teaches. Also because "He learned the hard way".


Even though it only lasts for 50 minutes, he makes sure that we have learned something like new words to widen our vocabulary. Not all the time he just discuss and lecture. There are some time that he would listen to the story of our lives. And the class would turn to be in perfect silence because no one of us would dare to start. 


Why we love Journalism & Mr. Geraño....
As time went by, we found out that our Journalism class is full of fun...fun...fun.. Yeah, you are right. It is because of games..!! But these games are educational games; these may be as hard and complicated as Math problems are yet these are also as fun and thrilling as our P.E Class is. We never expected that our Journalism class will be one of the most exciting class ever..!! All thanks to our facilitator, Mr. Geraño, for making our Tuesdays and Wednesdays afternoon  to be full of so much fun..!!
