Chapter 7

“ Open to page 7.” Mrs. Hilda said after she greeted the class good morning. All of us is silent and followed her order. I took my book and turned the pages to seven.

She write something on the chalkboard before she face is again. The teacher studied her lesson plan with her and nodded.

“So tell me, when did agriculture start?.” She asked just like what I expected. I raised my hand and she nodded.

“ Farming start in the predynastic period at the end of the Paleolithic ,after 10,000BC.” I said confidently . Mrs. Hilda stared me for a couple of second before she said I am correct. I finally felt relieve when she agreed with my answer. Violet darted me a proud look and I smiled at her.

“ Since our subject is about Crop science and it’s principle, then we should tackle plant morphology, biogeography, Classification, Histology (microscopic structure) , physiology and plant pathology.” The teacher discussed. Everyone in the room is listening to her intently or else they will be punished by the woman standing at the aisle.

“Let’s start in the plant morphology. It is the study of internal and external structure of the plants. This is usually considered distinct from plant anatomy, which is the study of internal structure of plants. Especially at the microscopic level. Hmm. All in all, plant morphology ,is useful in the visual identification of the plants.” The teacher continued discussing and as time goes by, it become more boring. Yet we all continued listening to her.

'why can’t she spoke a little bit smoother and with emotion. That way we won’t get bored, ‘I thought.

Frankly speaking Mrs. Hilda is like a robot, she is not a smiling type of person ,or the one that would smiled back to you, or the type that would reply to you when you say good morning. She’s too stiff and her Eyebrows are always furrowed .and if she’s mad, she used to locked us all inside the room as if we are a 2nd grade students. But even though parents are reporting her to the high -ranked person at school ,this teacher still stayed. Not because she sabotage them ,but because she’s a good teacher. And after that discussion, she take us all to the field where we are going to plant some flowers and other endemic plants Hoping they'll reproduce. We all wear gloves and took our shovels. She is looking at us and checked if we are fully equipped. Then she smiled when everyone did. Even Montoya ,Ravila and our room muse, Priscilla, didn’t say any word nor tried to protest. I smiled. We’re silent as mute. And when the teacher noticed that I’m done with my part, she smiled at me and dismissed me already. I bade goodbye to Violet and I decided to stroll at the school for awhile. I went into the rooftop and I am surprised to see Thunder there. I silently step back to go down but he caught me and stopped me right there by calling me.
