A Staircase Leading to Success Third Grading Period is about to end. Just like what I've expected from the start of this school year, every quarter is like a staircase. While stepping to a higher stage, the harder it'll be. If second grading period was a bit harder than the first one, well, third grading period was a lot harder than the second. Harder lessons, harder quizzes, harder assignments and harder projects. Also. practice teachers showed up took our teacher's places, which is somewhat great and sometimes not.  I can say that they are really good for they are capable of delivering and teaching the lessons properly in the way that they don't take it so seriously, they are really good jokers when they feel that the class discussion is getting boring. Going back, third grading period never failed to give me a headache. A headache caused by never-ending river of lessons harder than a rock. In this grading period, I was challenged to be confident. Now, I ca...

Can you observe how fast time flies? How fast the clock tik-toks? Well if not, you should start counting days from now until 2015! Yes, 2014 is about to end. Pack those happy memories and start moving on from those experiences that brought you down. Let us welcome a new year, a new life, new experiences, new lessons to learn, new people to befriend, and most especially, a new you. This year, I have experienced many things, learned many lessons, been to places I've never been before and many others. But just like from the past few years, I also committed mistakes, made lies and done some bad things. Things that I'd like to change for the better. Sometimes, people feel odd making their so called "New Year's Resolutions" because from the start, they are anxious of thinking that they won't eventually complete it, without even trying. I can't blame them, it's really hard to start or change a habit or something, especially when you haven't ...

It's December again! The winds are getting colder and the nights are getting longer! People are fixing their Christmas Trees. Colorful lights are set to entertain our eyes. Children are  joyfully and happily singing songs in the tune of bottle caps as tambourines and large cans as drums while stopping by on every other house. Every member of the family are gathered around a long table to conquer a bunch of delicious and mouth-watering foods. Yep! The Christmas spirit had finally begun. But it doesn't end here. There's more to explore and learn about the so called "happiest day of the year". Many of us are familiar only with the baby on the manger with mother Mary and San Pedro nearby and Three Kings offering gifts for the new born baby. What about the true essence of it? One is sharing not only of material things but also of ourselves with all our heart. Joy is another one which is a way of expressing our gratitude to the Lord for our saviour had com...

Causes of Climate Change Had there been a time when you observe an unusual weather shifting? For example, yesterday was sunny and now, its surprisingly stormy. That's really disturbing isn't it? But here's what's been sneeking into the nerves of people concerned with this stuff. Climate Change. Possible Effect of Climate Change We all know that every region has particular weather patterns or conditions used as basis in making a move for the people to prepare and be alert for whatever calamity that a country has to face. Today, many people are getting more and more disturbed because of climate change. This is a long term change in the earth's climate, especially a change due to an increase in the average atmospheric temperature. This means that climate change is due to the rise of the Earth's surface temperature. But what caused these temperature rise? According to NASA, it's because of the human expansion of the greenhouse effect, warming t...

November is known for Halloween during the first and second day. But this month is not only for scary and creepy stuffs. It’s also a month to celebrate and bring back the essence and values of reading and the English language as well. This month, we celebrate the English Month Celebration – a celebration showcasing the abilities of students in writing literary pieces, portraying characters from different books and many others. Without further ado, let me start sharing my insights about the said celebration. In the world, there are thousands of languages spoken around the world. But, there is that one unique language that unites them all – English. Anyone from different countries are capable of talking and having a conversation as long as they use one language only. In connection with the theme, “Outpouring Hearts and Minds Through Literacy and English Proficiency”, I can truly understand the importance of the English language. This language is seen everywhere and is used by almo...

            Everyone has their own rights that should be morally or legally allowed for him/her to have, get or do. In our lives, we have so much opportunity for all of us to fulfill for our goals to achieve and dreams to reach. But because of the unfair or unequal sort of people from rich to poor and strong to weak, all around the world, there are loads of possibilities as proof that every individual’s right and opportunity are absolutely unequal. With these kind of problem, what should every single one of us do to maintain the parity and equality of our rights and opportunities?             They say, ”If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door”, which is right, and will always be right. We create our own opportunities. We should use these to secure our rights and to assure that it’ll always be ours. Not even the richest, not even the strongest can steal a poor weak man’s right. Based on my own observation and ...

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...
