Behind students who are confused, are teachers who fail to reach out. Lita T. Cruz, author of The Diary of a Teacher, recognizes the depth and complexity of educators as guardians entrusted with children's education and as tutors equipped with diverse degree of comprehension. Lita believes that it is the educator's responsibility to reach out, not only to brilliant students but also to apply all possible options to save slow learners from imminent failure. In The Diary of a Teacher, Lita featured a woman's struggle to life as a wife who mourns and yearns for his missing husband, as a mother who responsibly mentors her teenage children to adolescence, and as a teacher who rallies for intervention among students, teachers, and parents to enhance children's educational process.
