A Worthy Time of Learning

The first quarter of the school has been a very busy or rather, a lively period for me. I have been assigned to tougher and more complicated offices compared to that of last year. I've experienced a lot of new things in club interactions with my STEP Club family. And realizing that we are now on our last year in high school, I made it a point that I will spend every quarter of this year worthy and and meaningful.

TLE was one of the subjects which I have to start giving efforts unto, since it was always a subject that had really one of my weaknesses. I wasn't much of a memorization - oriented learner, i understand things the way i percieve them. But it was always a challenge for me to get those bulks of information in my head and TLE particularly ICT VI are of those subjects which includes a lot of mind stocking. Learning the History of the Internet was fun though. I didn't think that the guys behind Internet have been like us too, students who had lots of ideas and imaginations that we wanted to fulfill. I hadn't have much knowledge of weblogging before, but ICT IV introduced it to me in a very comprehensive way.

But, I also had hard times doing my requirements for the subject. To be honest, I am quite anxious on making blogs. Back then, i didn't really like to join on any multimedia or social site that would let other people know about my private life. Writing blogs was a daring task for me indeed. And finding time to fit all other school works was in the same way, down - right difficult.

But my thoughts didn't stop there. I forced myself to work harder. I've gained my motivation from my goals for this year. And, realizing that God has placed me on this learning process, I've constantly sought for His guidance. And, my friends had been great factors on how i have solved my study problems; they never fail to cheer me up when I'm feeling down.

The 1st quarter of this school term was indeed a lively one for me. Even when we needed to stay - up so late just to finish all our requirements, it's still worth it. What was important was that were able to play our roles as students and we had fun sharing the first three months of our senior life with new teachers and friends. Upon having these experiences, changing some of my study habits and managing my time well would be a great way on preparing myself for the next period. Memorization might still be quite off for me but i know that I could solve the problem with of course the provision of God. Let's make the next ones good, make it right and make everything worth while!

I Speak English and Filipino

The English and the Filipino language, two of the most primary and most widely used media of communication in the Philippines. They have provided linkages to every Filipino and have generated the country's unity and welfare. This indeed has proved that speaking in Filipino and English language are very important keys of our nation's growth and development.


However, as these languages continue to spread; improper and indecent words gradually sprout. People who have learned to use the language in their everyday lives have developed a new but unacceptable words and ways of speaking English and Filipino. These people are unaware that as they continue to speak the language in this manner, misunderstandings or worst, physical fights may happen. Speaking without such kindness may result not only up to this scenario but in bigger cases as well.

Knowing this in mind, each of us Filipinos must have the initiative to speak English and Filipino properly and with kindness. In this way a better and stronger bond with everyone could be attained. Though it is not necessary for us to speak to people with flattering and praising words, we must be true and just to all of the people we talk to without compromising politeness and benevolence. And if this things shall come true, our vision for our country's progress and unity could be seen a little clearer. Have you spoken English and Filipino yet?
