IMPROVING MYSELF As months go by, encountering problems and challenges weren't new to me anymore. I mean, I was not that surprised like, "Oh no! How terrible my life is. Why do I need to suffer this much. Wasn't it enough to prove that I am capable of addressing this problems and challenges that are trying to push me down?". Instead, I feel grateful. Why? New problems and challenges mean new lessons to learn. And I can proudly and truly say that I learned this inside a classroom and a chair at a corner.  If First Quarter was a challenge for me, this Second Quarter was a thousand times much better. This is because I was capable of having more and more friends that make me even more confident than the last time I was typing my reflection from the past quarter. I can say that this change improved me so much. Changes that of course, has a big contribution for my studies this quarter - more stories to read, more mathematical problems to solve, more discoveries to...

             Every school year, there are somewhat day/s wherein we get so excited. One of these is the Intramurals, an event in the school showcasing the student's capabilities and skills in sports. Many students like me are looking forward with these event. Who would't anyway? Two days of a sportsfest-like event, vacancy periods and freedom. Let me start sharing my insights about the recently concluded Intramurals in our school, shall we?                                         September 18-19 were the scheduled days for the said event in our school. The opening program was conducted last September 17, 2014. The highlight of these is the Parade of the players from Grade 7 to 4th Year. On the first day of the Intramurals, I can see faces of excitement and happiness as I enter the gates of the school. The Intams fever had finally began upon watching...

            When I was still in First Year, our adviser once told us, "You are like clays and we are your molders. We mold you to become better people and to serve others in the future." Until now that I am already in 4th Year, I can still remember this statement of hers. Why? Because that was the most meaningful statement that could define a teacher. Without teachers, there will also be no professions. Without professions, this world will also be like iced tea without ice cubes, it will be worthless, useless and plain world. That's why I consider teachers as saviors for a progressive nation, in short, a HERO.         A hero can fly, right? Teachers can’t. Heroes have superpowers, don’t they? Teachers haven’t. But do heroes impart knowledge? Do they improve us to become better people? Do they answer our questions? Do they eventually serve as second parents to us? Don’t be silly. They don’t, Teachers do. The things they do and the...
