Missing her so much!

This was once a woman I meet during my interview for working scholar application. At first glance, she seems to be so strict and doesn’t even know how to smile. But then again I kept my poise and answer her with my satisfying responses. After all, she’s going to be my mentor and my head supervisor in her office. At my first few weeks, I can tell she’s indeed strict especially on office rules and attendance. I felt I’m going to lose it (my scholarship) but I keep going on with it because this is the only way I knew where I can finish my college. Yes, I am a working assistant in her office. As time passed by, I begin to know her more and realized that the first impressions never last. She is caring and lovable – just like my mother. She is also a good counselor and a good friend. She is also pretty especially when she smiles.

I also remember the time when we shared stories with each other every lunch time. Also, the pressures we shared during office hours and the relief we felt after every successful task. Haayyzz, I miss them all so much.

Wonder who she is? She is none other than (drum roll) Engr. Coleta “Bea” Y. Lim-Esplanada. She is the IMC – Chair, Residuum Coordinator and the former Mathematics Department Chair in Cebu Institute of Technology. She is my second mother whom I cherished very much, my mentor who molded me into a better person and a model whom I followed and dreamed to be like her.

I miss you, Ma’am Bea!
Hope to see you soon.
mwahhugz!
