To suffer is to endure, indeed

To suffer is to endure, indeed

I always imagine how I have become matured enough to handle things all by myself. Several months have passed being a Senior High School student and I can say that almost everything has changed. From the first time I entered our four sided classroom, continuous process of development takes place in me. I’m now a student ready for the next chapted of my life. I’m now a student who have enough knowledge and a great learning. I have learn how to value education, how to appreciate the essence of studying. Many aspects of my life has entirely processed-my physical aspect, emotional aspect, intellectual aspect and even my spiritual aspect. Not only that but also, being a senior High School Student thought me how to be capable of doing everything, struggle for dream and fight for success.

Life as a student is a hard role to play. For a long period of time, we are always suffering in the sense that we have so much things to handle. I have experience so much battles in school. Countless difficulties tested my strength. Sometimes, tears descend from my eyes. In hadships and in pain I cried alone. It’s hard! Yes! It’s hard rushing paper works and requirements. I have experienced this several times. Surprised quizzes, long test, critical questions always challenge me. I always hear judgements I always hear complaints that causes me to bother myself from thinking if what have I done wrong. It’s not my fault being on the top anyway I just did my best. I just do my job as a student. What’s the wrong with that?

I’m always keeping myself strong, to be the bravest of all. No one can bring me down as long as I know that I’m in the right track. We can conquer as till we believe we can. We just have to trust ourselves and have a strong faith in God. To suffer is to endure, indedd and having difficulties and hardships in life makes us a strong individual. Struggle and always fight to survive. Great effort is and effective way and just don’t never give up.

CREATING PROFFESSIONALS

CREATING PROFFESSIONALS

             Life is a matter of choice but it is better to do things, to follow the path we want to travel according to our own will, because it takes, whatever happens in the end will you proudly say, “It’s my choice and I’m happy with it.” Life is not what we prepare for. It is what makes us ready. Our own destiny is in our hands. Our own success is in our dreams-dreams that undeniably serve as an inspiration to walk through an endless journeys a journey of hope for a bright future.

             A man without ambition is like a rolling stone without destination.

                                                                          I’m a dreamer. I’m a believer. A man with full of ambitions in life. Searching for truth, exploring for knowledge and still studying for my future. I’m just a regular student for now, a student seeking for fulfillment. A student wearing a white uniform, carrying a bag for school. But I want to be somebody someday. I don’t like to be treated as nobody, to be just a nothing in our society. I want to be a teacher in the future. I want to serve my country. I want a great transformation in my nation. I want the best this world could offer. My motivation in life is to be a part of the success of everybody. I admit that I want a salary, specifically to much salary but what matters most for me is to create professionals. I know that it’s hard to be a teacher. Being a teacher is really a big responsibility but I am prepared for the worst. Maybe it’s my destiny. Maybe this is what God had planned for me. I don’t know, I can’t really understand myself why  I want to take this role while in fact, there’s so much greater opportunity around me. People say that it’s never gonna be easy to be a teacher. They were always interrogating me why I want to take this path. I can’t answer them actually but deep in my heart this is the best, that is the most valuable choice I could make, that being a teacher is what makes me happy, being a teacher is my future.

                Someday, everything that happens in our lives will make a perfect sets, so for now we just need to be true to our selves, that we should we follow our hearts desire. We need to be patient enough, to be the braves we can be at all times and keep reminding ourselves that everything happens for reason. Expect of our great troubles  come our best blessing.

Open your eyes; you’ll see what I mean…..

OPEN YOUR EYES YOU"LL SEE WHAT I MEAN

I know it’s not going to be easy. After all, change is not as easy as changing answers when we realize we wrote the wrong ones. But can’t we spare time to help in creating a positive change that can make us better individuals? Let’s not wait for a change to happen because it won’t unless we work for it- blood and sweat. Open your eyes; you’ll see what I mean…

At first, I didn’t care. I didn’t bother for I thought it’s just a trash, just a nonsense matter. Call it stupid or pathetic. I didn’t care what’s happening around me. Whether it is right or wrong, whether it’s good or bad. All I care was about me, on how I can be so happy. But waking up one day trapped me in this bitter reality. I thought I shouldn’t be this way. That I should give a damn attention on this truth because we deserve the best things this world could offer. But why did it take me this long to realize? Perhaps, this world’s been effective in concealing its real colours and hues. But even though all have been said and done, there’s still a chance and be part in the attainment of social transformation. Now, I’m begging every head, asking everybody to help me for a change. Give me your hand, hold it tight and stand firm with me. Join me in this fight for a worthy cause before it’s too late. A big charge starts with us. Change what should be changed. If we are not the one to move? Then who will it be? If not now? Then when? I know that we all don’t want to wake up one day where darkness takes place, where bitterness exists. We all have the power, the courage of changing the world. Now I’m starting doing my part. I’m not blind. I can clearly see what’s happening in our world, the heart breaking reality, the countless disasters, discriminations, inequality, poverty and many other problems that should be stopped right now. I can’t do this on my own. I can’t change the world alone. I’m knocking on your doors, saying “Please help me!”

Fully Developed

Fully Developed

                        
                      
                        From time to time continuous flow of development really takes place in  me I can proudly say that Im fully developed this Grading Period. I have come across to splendid learning and knowing about things really stopped my immaturity. I learned how to create a web page; which I never thought to happen. Through composing an insight for a blog, my English proficiency intellectually progress. Though I find it challenging, it really improved my higher-order thinking skills. Our teachers never fail to share enough knowledge which I considered a great help in my whole existence. In this Grading Period, I learned so much things about life.

                     Countless complicated hardships really challenge me this Grading Period. In my way to success, continuous problems and difficulties come across which sometimes causes my tears to fall and to think that I’m hopeless. Here I am now, rushing for the requirements needed to be finished I’m to stressful! Time never fail to bother me I’m too confident with the previous passing days and now I’m problematic. There are times that nervousness endlessly strikes all of me because I was not able to review for our quiz. I’m always making things so complicated! That’s the big problem in me.

                      Standing alone doesn’t mean I’m alone. It means I’m strong enough to handle things all by myself. That’s how I address my problems in school even in life. I resolve it on my own because I do believe that my problems in life are all created by me and I’m only the one who can make a solution. Faith in God really matters every time I experienced hardships in school. If there’s one thing I learned the most this Grading Period, that is: In every problem, there will be always as solutions, as long as you know to face it with all your heart and strength. Never give up! And be a positive thinker. Problems and difficulties are just temporary things in life that can easily fade away if you know how to control it

                     Moving on I will do all the requirements earlier so that I will be always ready to pass it on time. I will not let myself rushing with things to do. I will be more responsible in managing my time.

New Chapter Of my Life

               New Chapter Of my Life

               Endings are usually lonely and beginnings are usually scary. But it’s everything in between that makes it all worth living. Another chapter of my own story, a fresh opportunity to make it better, a chance God has given for me to change the wrong of yesterday. I have gone another year of happiness, sadness, tears, sorrows, pain, and hardships which prepare me as an ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny. Look at me now, I’ve gone so far, still standing and now again, facing the battles of life this new year have offered and has to offer.

                   Reminiscing the happenings of the previous year I can still remember the way I have manipulated my own life. I have realized that I have done more bad things than good. Now, I’m keeping myself busy wondering if where should I start changing what should be changed. Maybe I can’t travel backwards for me to correct the mistakes of the past but I have the present and the future to continue my life with good intentions.

                 

               In the previous year, I keep on judging people based on their physical appearance. I’m always laughing with those mistakes individuals have committed instead of correcting my faults in life. Now, this year I’m planning not to do such thing because who am I to judge people? I’m just only human and I have no right, only God can and as time passed by, I have realized that what I’m laughing at is not a mistake what I’m doing is a big mistake.

                 I will try not to hurt anyone this year, 2015. I will swallow my pride every time I commit mistakes and I’m gonna say sorry for those peoples whom I hurt so much. I promise myself to be more responsible of my words because maybe words can’t hurt physically but it’s strong enough to affect anyone emotionally and mentally.

                  I will do my home works and projects on the right time. I’m gonna make sure that I will never fail to pass any requirements needed to be passed. Studies is my top priority and I’ll try to graduate this year with achievements I will set aside anything that can affect my studies.

                 It’s not gonna be easy. It’s gonna be really hard to change my old habits but I have to work at his because I want something better. Bear everything, prepare for the worst. Take everything easy. Don’t expect anything from life. Whatever life gives, good or bad, accept it what you are is what you deserve. Learn to be good Be something new! Be something better! Survive this 2015!

Can be Found In your Heart

Can be Found In your Heart

           

           I can really feel the cool breeze of December. I can see sparkling lights around each houses. I can fully smell the air of Christmas joy. Alluring rhythm of Christmas songs were being heard and definitely captivates my heart. I can see excitement in every child’s face. Tall Christmas trees and  various amazing decorations always caught my eyes.

            A season of joy and peace. A season to commemorate the birth of our savior Jesus Christ. A season that again lead me to flashback and reminisce the past. I can still remember the way I thought what Christmas is when I was younger. “Excitement and fulfillment,” that’s how I describe Christmas in that very moment of immaturity.

            As I grow older, I found myself seeking for something I couldn’t  find during Christmas. I can’t even understand myself each time because I know that I had everything-everything that makes me happy and to feel that I’m complete. I had lots of money to buy anything I want. I had precious gift. We even had enough food to eat for the celebration and of course we had fireworks for enjoyment. But in the end, I keep on interrogating myself “Am I really happy with material things? Is this really the fulfillment I want to Conquer?”

            For how many years of celebrating Christmas I had never thought what the true essence of it was. Now that I’m matured enough, I had realized that I’m the loneliest during those times that I’m celebrating the season without even knowing the true meaning and essence of Christmas even though I’m always making myself happy.

            Christmas is a time to see the world through the eyes of love, giving and forgiving. Christmas is not just all about the enjoyment, excitement and fulfillment. The true essence of it cannot be seen in the sparkling lights, tall Christmas trees and attractive decorations, it cannot be heard in the Christmas songs, it cannot be felt in the cool breeze of December and cannot be smelled in the air of Christmas joy but can be found in the heart.

            Christmas is the right time for us to give love more than we can ever received. A time when the love of God and the love of our fellow men should prevail over all hatred and bitterness. A time to give what we have for those who are in need and a time to forgive people who committed mistakes upon us.

            What ever we decide to do during Christmas, make sure that Christ the King, the redeemer of mankind and the reason for the season will always stay in our hearts. In my heart, I had found the real happiness I’ve been seeking for how many times during Christmas. And for that I had proved that giving and forgiving is the true essence of Christmas which lead us to an endless happiness. 

The Moment I Open up My Eyes

              

            

           

The moment I Open up My Eyes

                                           Throughout the course of ceaseless flow of years, change of climate is being observed and experienced. It’s easy to ignore climate change, to say it’s not a problem but among the more perplexing bits of climate change research, are the predictions for more danger among us-beings. Global climate change is creating extreme and unpredictable weather around the world which is likely to affect ecosystems, biodiversities and can even destroy a healthy lifestyle and spread of diseases.

            

                       The moment I open up my eyes, I saw the great change in the universe. The world we are living in slowly fades away. The climate is so confusing. Even in summer, it’s raining, even in rainy days, the hotness of the summer was being felt. Our planet is totally in danger. Climate change is today’s big threat which seems to have a long history of tormenting our species. It will have even more dangerous consequences and harmful impact. It can easily reduce the access to natural resources that sustain people’s way of lie. Nobody can deny that this serious global problem is caused by us-irresponsible human beings. Everyday, alarming amounts of toxins are released into the atmosphere. Improper waste disposal and burning of garbage were continuously done. Deforestation is another cause of global climate change. Now, severe impact is it’s return to us. Higher temperatures were being experienced. Stronger storms are threatening our peacefulness and many of the Earth’s resources are being depleted. All of these changes, affect everyone. What the world needs to do is too truly make a move to stop climate change. We must help one another for we are involved and affected stop doing such bad habits that may cause climate change and start doing things that can promote a positive change.

Outpouring Hearts and Minds Through Literacy and English Proficiency

                                           Multitudinous states, both international and local choose learning English language. English is one of the most widely spoken language, therefore, it is also called the Universal language. Proficient and skilled uses of the English language enhance countless aspects which may lead an individual from a less matured one to a well knowledgeable person. If ideas or thoughts are to be expressed and communicated to others using the language in a right way, then it results an extremely effective communication, one reason why English should be developed worldwide.

By studying this language, you can expect to be able to conduct transactions easily and can possibly pursue a good career because it tends to be the common currency.

Imagine the world without the Universal language, surely misunderstanding will take place.

The Loud Scream

                         The Loud Scream

                           

                          Numerous human beings go through different kinds of discrimination and inequality nowadays. Discrimination which trigger off depression and inequality which induce an individual to decrease self-esteem. This is such an alarming circumstance we live through in this generation that demand a meticulous solution to lessen the increasing number of people who were seeking for equality- equal rights and equal opportunity.

                                Equal rights! Equal opportunity! The loud scream of each one of us especially to those who were suffering from inequality. We all have the authority to exist here on Earth freely, to put into words what’s on our mind, to live in any way we want and the right to a wholesome social life. But from time to time, I can’t keep my mind from reflecting and keep myself from interrogating, “Does this things really matter equally?” Sometimes, it feels like the powerful one has the greater privilege or right. They can even control us- we, the small ones. They all have the opportunity to subdue weak individuals. They were deeply honoured and was recognized and treated special a hundred times than an ordinary citizen. There were also some instances where unfavourable treatment based on prejudice happen. One specific example is the “Gay-Lesbian Discrimination”. We are not in the position to judge them (gays and lesbians) for whatever reason because they were just being true to themselves, they were just being who they wanna be. Who are we to judge them? We cannot feel what they’re feelings but it’s true that they always come across Hardships but they prefer to live because deep inside, they know that they have special purpose in life- to live life to the fullest according to God’s will and was born to be true not to be perfect. Not just in rights, where there is no parity even in opportunity, there exist. There were state of affairs that favouritism shown to relatives in appointing them to jobs takes place, which is called Nepotism. They designate employee not by basing on capabilities, abilities and knowledge but based on how they are related with each other. Isn’t it that God created the World for all of us- without exemption? But why are we acting this way? Why are we keep on judging and discriminating? It’s simply because the world is unfair, the world is imbalance not because of God but with the hands of wrong people. There is equality if we know how to fight for our own rights and own opportunity. Don’t let anyone judge and control you for we have the right and don’t be a slave because we have the opportunity

The True Essence

           The True Essence

                                  Reminiscing days of yore I can still remember the juncture of development I acquired for the Second Grading Period. There's a great transformation in me. I have become a knowledgeable person from a less matured one. I have come accross to a splendid erudition or learning. My basic English proficiency build up. My Mathematical skills is strengten. I have become proficient in solving using different formulas and technique. I have discovered multitudinous Asian short stories and novels. My essential understanding on economics intellectually progress. And I have become aware on HTML, HTML tags, Web Standards, HTML File, HTML Editors, HTML Images and many more which I have never known even a little bit before

                          Arduous, burdensome, challenging, laborious, perplexing, delicate, complicated and difficult! That's how I characterized this Grading Period. Countless complicated circumstances tested my strength and endurance being a student. I have encountered continuous problems and difficulties. Almost every other day, I have some unfinished activities, asignments, and projects to be done going back to school which sometimes pushes me of giving up in my studies. There are times that nervousness endlessly strikes all of me because I was not able to review for our quiz or test. Many things really bothered me that sometimes for so many things, I don't know what to do, I don't know how to start, I don't know where to start and I don't even know what to start. "I don't want to do this anymore, I can't take this anymore, I don't want to finish this anymore and I don't really care!", that's what I'm always myself everytime I have abundant requirements to accomplish. I can' t fully understand our lessons sometimes because I'm out of my mind for such things that I'm always thinking. Moreover, It was not that easy for me to review for the Second Periodical Test since I had incomplete notes. And most especially, I tried to be perfect and prove to my classmate in doubt of my abilities that I deserve to be one of the Top Achievers.

                               I simply believe in myself that I can carry out whatever comes and that I can address every challenges which I come across just think positive and put up in my mind that the true essence of studying is not to make simple things complicated but to make complicated things simple. Giving up is not a solution! When I'm tired and hopeless, taking a rest, relaxing, taking a break, and taking a deep breathe for a while is enough. Then finish what should be accomplish. And in times like I don't know what to do, I'm always praying to God and faith really works. Facing every problems trully matters and always remember that while there is life, there exist hope.
                              Moving on, I will be more dedicated in my studies so that I can finish the requirements on the right time. I will try to improve myself so that I will be a better student.

Socially Developed Individual

                                      Socially Developed Individual

                            

                                                “Intramural is the day I considered one of the most enjoyable and most exciting part of being a student.” Fulfillment and entertainment is the main purpose of this program. Students were able to show their talents and skills by participating with the different kinds of sports like badminton, volleyball, basketball, taekwondo, soccer, sepak takraw and different kinds of board games like chess and scrabble and students also excel in dancing.

 

                                                               In this year, we celebrated the Intramural. I'm not an athlete since I'm not a sports lover. I know how to play in some sports but I'm not that good enough to compete. It was late the moment I arrived in school. It was a little bit boring at first because I, with some of my friends just stayed in our classroom for almost two hours. Inside, we just listened to musics in our classroom. We just sat there, take pictures, chat or laugh.It was raining, but then it doesn't stop us from enjoying the program. First, we went to the school gymnasium to watch for some sports. Shouting and Cheering! That's how we celebrated the Intramurals. This is my last year of celebrating this program in this school so I promise myself to do whatever I want to do and whatever makes me happy. I can't really explain the happiness it bring to me. In the afternoon, we go and watch for a hooror movie entitled Incidious. It was such a great, amazing, suspense and full of intense one. While watching, I can't stop from shoutung and shouting because all the time, I was shocked and surprised. The moment the movie was finished, we intend going home but there's a big problem occured. There came a heavy rain anf I have no umbrella or anything that can protect me from the rain. I have no other choice but to run and have fun with the rain. I run and run as fast as I can. I really didn't expect this but maybe it's a blessing. This is such an awesome and perfect day for me. A memorable one that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

              Intramural is really a one of a kind experience, not just being a student but being a socially developed individual.

Teacher: The Future of the World and the Hope of the Society

Teacher: The Future of the World and the Hope of the Society

                       "Hero is someone who possess good deeds and cares for others not just by helping them in need but making them good and a perfect person." If there's someone who can be called as a hero, teachers is the best one for they are the future of the World and the Hope of the Society. They can't be like the other heroes who have special powers, they can't be like the other heroes who sacrifices their lives for our freedom, but they can be heroes in their own simple way.

                     When I was a child, I can still remember my strong admiration to the make-believe superheroes with super strength and special powers like Spiderman, Batman, Wonderwoman, Superman and many others because in my childhood I do believe that heroes are the one responsible for saving lives with the help of their powers but then I realize that I was wrong because anyone can be a hero without special powers. As days goes by for me being a student, I have realize that true hero is the one standing in front of me, in front of my classmates and even in front of everybody. The one who teaches us everyday and the one who always sacrifice their time just to educate us. I'm referring to my teachers. Yes! My Teacher is My Hero. They are the one who always finds time to share with us the knowledge which we need for our bright future eventhough how noisy or even stupid we are. They are the one who understands me and they never judge me as an individual. They are the one who are always correcting my wrongdoings and mistakes. They are the one who leads us to the right track. Together, we are discovering the reality in the whole universe and they never failed to fill out the questions that were bothering my innocent mind. They are good enough to stop the curiusness striking my head. They mold me from unknown person to a better one. Proffesionals were made by them. If ever I succeed someday, it's because of my teachers who never leave me but brings me to success. My teacher, My Hero. I really salute all of you.

                         Without teachers I am nothing. Without teachers I am just a nobody. Without teachers there is no education. Without teachers there is no ambition. Without teachers there is no proffessionals and as a result, there is no progression. Teacher is always be my hero because they are the future of our country and the hope of our Society.
