A month ago, we had a parents' HRPTA meeting. We’ve known each other for a while, since our kids were classmates in the previous grade level. I was re-elected as HRPTA President, just as I was last year. We discussed ways to support the children and the class adviser to make their learning smoother and easier.
We decided on a project: a 3-in-1 printer costing ₱10,300.00, which was agreed upon by the majority.
Before finalizing the project, we shared the details and the cost per parent in our group chat. Thanks to the generosity of some parents who contributed more than the required amount, the individual share became lower.
After that group chat conversation, I also mentioned that if anyone had questions or clarifications, they could send me a direct message if they weren’t comfortable posting in the group.
I was confident that the project had everyone’s approval. But one afternoon, the class adviser messaged us in the group chat saying she wanted to talk to me. I was surprised and puzzled. When I arrived at her room, Ma’am was already crying; someone had dropped her name on social media. Unfortunately, the project did not push through.
What kind of person does that? Naming someone publicly like that? I know you’re now feeling guilty for what you did. Just remember, karma doesn’t miss. One of these days, it will come back to you a hundredfold.
Before you take any action, think ten times. Act only when you’re at peace; you won’t regret it in the long run.
