I was in Grade III Blue in Cugman Elementary school. My teacher was Mrs Barbara Landingin. I was the quiet pupil in the back row. I was bad in Arithmetic as I found memorising those time tables boring. Mrs Landingin must have seen something in me and she showed me shapes, circles and triangles, time, travel, speed and distance. These got me interested and thus began my successes in Academics. It is not until in late High School and early College years that I realised my grade III teacher taught me Geometry, Physics and Algebra though she did not called them that.
To Mrs Landingin thanks heaps.
