Reflection (4th Quarter)

Fourth Quarter, the school year is about to end and my junior year is also near to end. It's sad and happy at the same time. It's happy because I will finally finish my junior year and it's sad because I will miss a lot of happy and sad memories of my junior year. It's also sad because some of us will go to different schools for the senior year.

This fourth quarter we haven't had a lot of time to study our lessons in different subjects because we practiced a lot for our field demo for the High School Day celebration. And we are also practicing our cheerdance that is a requirement for our P.E. in M.A.PE.H. For me, it was so tiring but it's fun to dance.

“The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.”

― Molière

I also encountered challenges this fourth quarter because we are loaded with activities, projects, quizzes, and thematic assessments. I also complain sometimes but I always tell myself that I can do this all.

I will also miss my teachers this grade 10 because they are all great teachers. Even if they're strict sometimes they have still their funny-type-of-person inside. And I salute all the teachers that have taught me well in my junior years and I commend all the hard works that they have given to us.

And as I end my last and final blog for this year I will leave a quote,

The journey is never ending. There's always gonna be growth, improvement, adversity; you just gotta take it all in and do what's right, continue to grow, continue to live in the moment.

Reflection (Second Quarter)

Another quarter has passed, and another new knowledge that have been gained. This second quarter, students are ready and hoping that new lessons will be added to their knowledge and exciting activities that they will do again. And I was not disappointed because this second quarter I have learned all about internet access and the HTML. The lessons of this quarter is easy for me to understand because I was super interested in it. I may have encountered probems but I easily coped up with it and went on. At the first lesson I did not understand it at first but I thrived to learn and I asked my classmates what's all about the lesson and I understood it easily. And for the basic HTML it was easy for me and I love coding. It easily registered in my mind and didn't even have to memorize or review it because there's a trick about it. Moving on, I will keep what I am doing because it's a good...

Philippines: A Strong Nation

"Resilience is the ability to recover from setbacks, adapt well to change and keep going or choose to give up in the face of adversity, so we engage stronger, wiser and more able." from The Oasis School of Human Relations. The word resilience comes from the Latin word 'resalire' which means "springing back". When the problems and adversities take your life, you instantly cope up and rise again. We Filipinos are resilient "hindi tayo natitinag". Instances like when we are hit by a typhoon, we easily recover from it, we build raft if the water is too high, or we stock up foods to eat in the middle of the storm. When our houses are destroyed, we immediately clean the debris, we collect scraps that can help fix our houses, and start again. We always stay positive and Fel Cadiz, a Rare program manager in the Philippines, "The Filipino spirit is resilient and remains strong. As they say, the sun shines bright after the storm p...
