THREE DOWN, ONE TO GO!!!

The third grading period has ended and another grading period is here to come. I learned a lot of things during this period. Now I really know that rashing is not a good habit. The results of this doing is really unsatisfactory. I also learned that we should pass all the necessary requirements and don't postpone any work that can be done today.

I have faced only one problem this grading period. My laziness has grown bigger. The only reason I think that make it bigger is because of the thought that graduation is very near and I won't be demoted even if I don't pass my requirements on time. But I was wrong. One of our teachers said that we should still do our best because the school year is not over yet.

In order for me to overcome this problem of mine, I should always think of my purpose why I am in school. This purpose is to study and learn. I will also think of the sacrifices that my parents are doing.

Moving on I will do my very best in all my subjects. I will participate every time we have our classes.

Here comes Christmas

The sun stays shorter, the wind feels so cold. There is only one thing we think when we experience these things. Christmas is coming. The day that we call the birth of Christ. But why do we celebrate Christmas?

I think we celebrate Christmas beacause one, it is part of our culture. Celebrating Christmas has been done many years. This is the when all the people in the world are rejoicing. Onother reason why we celebrate Christmas is because we need to remember how our savior was born. Without him, we will be sinners for the rest of our lives. I believe that if we don't remember his birthday, we will suffer bad things forever. Christmas also, is the most awaited day for the children. It's because this is the day where they recieve different presents from their relatives.

We should always celebrate Christmas for this is the day when we are all united. For the victims of the messacre, be strong! I know that justice will be given to you. To all the people in the world, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

STRENGTHENING THE PILIPINO PERSONALITY

"Pagpapatibay ng pagkataong Pilipino: Tugonsa hamon ng panahon," this was the theme of this year's values month celebration. In connection with the celebration, the Values Club of our school conducted different activities. Some of these are the poster making contest, cookfest, and kite fling contest. These activities developed some skills of the students. An example of this skills is the creativity of the students. Because of the poster making contest, the creativity of the students can be seen from their works. These activities developed their personalities.

During the month of November, I've experienced loneliness and sadness because our beloved adviser has retired. same teachers said that she was a great loss in this institution and I agree with that. She contributed a lot to our school. I also experienced physical fatigue because of practicing for the speech choir competition. I cant do anything to stop practicing because we our determination to win.

With all these experiences I have encountered, I think I have fulfilled the theme of the Values Month celebratin. I have strengthen my personality and overcome the challenges of this time.

TWO DOWN!TWO TO GO!

I learned a lot of things on this grading period. I learned that time is a valuable thing and every bit of it is imp0ortant. I also learned that you should do everything and don't wait for the deadline.

On this grading period, I've met different challenges in my studies. I have not encountered the problems I had during the first grsding period. Now, new and different challenges came. One of the problems I ahve encountered during this grading period is the rushing of projects and other requirements due to lack of time. The deadlines of our requirements were so close to each other and so we need to rush them in order to meet the deadline. I have also encontered financial problems during this grading period. I have spent a lot of money on our investigatory projects. But it is better to make sacrifices than to have no grades.

I solved my first problem by doing my best in finishing all mof my requirements and pass them on time. I have put all of my concentration in making my projects and other requirements. I didn't let anything destroy my concentration. On my financial problem, I asked some money from my mother. I have thought about these solutions for a long time.

Moving on I will do my requirements and pass them ahead of time so that the outcome of my requirements is good.

MY TEACHER!MY HERO!

Being a hero is not about having superpowers. You don't need superstrength to be a hero. You don't need x-ray or any superpowers to be a hero. Everyone of us can be a hero by doing simple things that can help other people who are in need.

I consider teachers as heroes. They save our lives by educating us. They make sure that our future will be secure and progressive. They make sacrifices just to give us all the knowledge they have. They give us good advices that we can use along the way. We can say that their wisdom is thier power. Teachers can be likened to our national hero,Dr. Jose Rizal. He used his wisdom in fighting the Spaniards and saving his fellowmen. The teachers also use thier wisdom in saving our future.

We should give thanks to our teachers who are doing their best in order for us to be progressive in the future. They are trully our heroes!

ADAPTING TO DIVERT SCIENCE CULTURE FOR DEVELOPMENT

We are now at the age of computers where technology is improving faster than what we have thought. Most of these technologies arose from the works of the great scientists. These works became the Sience culture which then became the basis of other works.

We are still urging to improve our way of living and gain more development in our lives. In order for us to achieve these goals, we should look back to the works of the late scientists. We should adapt their ways of making things and divert some of it so that we could come up with our own inventions. By diverting their ways, we are also diverting the Science culture. The result of this divertion is the further development of Science and Technology.

We can improve our lives in different ways. But we should look back to their past works which became the foundation of Science.

PILIPINO LANGUAGE:KEY TO ONENESS

The Filipino language is very important for us Pilipinos because it bonds us together. Even though we live in different places here in the Philippines we can stillcommunicate and interact with each other. This language serves as a rope that connects us.

There are many benefits we can get from this language. Because of this language, we are able to communicate with our fellow Pilipinos even if they are in different countries around the world. Using this language we can understand the fillings of our fellow Pilipinos even if they live in Baler or anywhere in the Philippines. Maybe one day this language would be the key so that the war between the government and Abu-sayaff would end.

We have to nourish and enrich the Filipino language the best we can. We should show that this language binds us together. we should also prove to the world that we can attain and maintain peace and oneness in our country using our own language.
