An Exploration to the Success Story of English School Paper Adviser in the Division of Davao Del Nort: A Case Study

This study was centered on exploring the experiences, challenges, coping strategies, insights, and recommendations of the English school paper advisers who handled the job and trained the student writers. Also, the study used a case study as a qualitative study approach in conducting this study. The participants were four (4) English school paper advisers and four (4) informants. Results of the study found that these English school paper advisers experienced difficulty in handling the job; they gained self-confidence, understanding that training the student writers goes beyond acquiring the job, and being determined and courageous. They overcome these by having time management, becoming skilled and knowledgeable in school papering, and keeping the passion of teaching and guiding the student writers burning inside them. The informants, too, shared that even though training and enhancement of knowledge were hard, it is not a reason to give up. Hence, the study recommended that everyone should keep pushing forward despite challenges; everything will not go as planned, we have to keep our faith and trust in the Lord. Additionally, the most important thing is that before you take a job, you need to be prepared and equip your mind with everything needed in order to pass.
