Maybe it's time! My co-teacher @kyrie1234 had invited me to join this Steemit platform a long time ago, finally, I said yes since we have a two-month break and I wanted to use my free time to write. Also, there are lots of Steemit members in our school and at our place. So, I'm now in! I chose to embrace the uncertainty and let me see what doors might open.

Hello there, I’m @bisdako from the Philippines. A passionate Math teacher with over 10 years of experience helping students navigate the fascinating and sometimes intimidating world of Mathematics. I'm glad you can have this path with me, no matter if you're just exploring out of curiosity. By the way, "bisdako" means "I am a bisaya, "the language we use in our place, Visayas, particularly in Cebu.

I love teaching. I've wanted this ever since I was a child. There’s something deeply fulfilling about watching students go from confusion to confidence, especially in a subject as misunderstood as Math. Also, behind those hard solutions in Math, I always treated my students as friends. Maybe those are some of the reasons, wherever I go, whenever I see them, they always share a warm smile with me and start a long chit-chat whenever there is a chance, and laugh with them. Those are just normal days with the kids. I'd always wanted them to remember me as a jolly teacher, aside from all the hassle and the puzzle of Mathematics.

I’m also a big believer in lifelong learning, and I see this platform as helping me explore and share the ever-evolving world, not just about numbers. Besides, as one of my major roles as their second parents, I am also giving them personal advice about life. I’m always on the lookout for better ways to engage learners and make life more meaningful.

About my family
I am married and blessed with two kids. My husband is managing our small business. I have two kids. One is named Math, who is running 10 in the year after. Yeah, you heard it right, his name is Math, surely you've guessed where I got his name? My eldest son is Mori, he is in grade 10 now. Both of them received honors awards for their year-end school achievements. I am blessed to have witnessed how they work hard to maintain their grades. As we all know, gadgets are now so tempting during class days. As a mother, I've been dreaming of their success in life and supporting them in every little dream that they dreamed of. Despite my busy schedule as a teacher, I always keep my balance between teaching and my family.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading and hiking. I often find connections between my hobbies and the logical, problem-solving nature of Math. Life itself is full of patterns, probabilities, and surprises—just like Mathematics.

I also call myself a frustrated writer who expresses anything about life, oops! I love cooking too. I love to explore recipes, just for home cooking, of course. Making unforgettable memories, like exploring new places with my family, is one of my greatest joys. I can also sing and play guitar. Maybe those are the stories I would like to share here on Steemit.

I've heard a lot about this platform through my friend @kyrie1234, I couldn't forget that one of her stories was about Typhoon Yolanda, how Steemit had helped those affected in our place. It was very inspiring since those who helped are not from our country. Donations were made through Steemit, coming from people whom we didn't know personally, yet with a big heart to help. I am hoping that Steemit will welcome me as much as they welcome my fellow Filipinos, and I hope that I can also invite my fellow teachers and my students to this platform.

Thank you for stopping by. Let’s navigate the twists and turns of life, discovering its many shades as we go.. Feel free to comment, ask questions, or share your own experiences—I’d love to hear from you!
