Reflect, Learn, and Adapt

          They say that being wise is better than being knowledgeable. Wisdom is  through reflection of one’s experience as well as of the environment. The more we reflect the more we become aware of ourselves. We become mindful of our existence as well as the meaning of life and all the things that surround us.
          The first few weeks of this grading, brought me excitement and stress. The topics covered each week gave me the opportunity to increase my knowledge in many areas.  Having an interest in every lessons gives me the urge to learn and understand the lesson even deeper. The lessons in ICT this grading was not easy but thankfully with the help of the things around the room during every discussion helped me to enjoy and to study the subject. 
          The activities that we did was quite hard because some of the instructions are hard to understand but the feeling after doing such gives me contentment and happiness. The amount of fulfillment I feel whenever I finish 1 activity can never be contained. I learned a lot about making an html related documents which I can apply in the near future. I am just so glad that we are learning these kind of things. 
          Sometimes, you have to look back in order to understand the things that lie ahead. Looking back at our lessons just made me realized that learning is never easy but sometimes you have to learn how to enjoy learning for you to be able to understand the lesson well, while having a little fun.

One Person, Countless Personas

     No matter how old we grow, the lessons taught by our teachers can never be forgotten. They build the foundation for our moral values and nurture children with their love and care. This Teacher's day, tell your lovable teachers how much you adore them. Feel proud and honoured to celebrate Teacher’s day.
     Teachers are great sources of knowledge, prosperity and enlightenment to which anyone can be benefited for whole life. They serve as the real light in everyone’s life as they help students to make their ways in the life. They are the God gifted people in everyone’s life who lead us towards success without any selfishness. Really, we can call them as builders of the dazzling future of our nation through education. Teachers, sometimes award their students for their great works however sometimes punish them to let them understand that they did something wrong which is bad for their life. They make their students able to differentiate between right or wrong so that they can chose for right one in their life by fighting with wrong.
          Teachers understand that all students do not have same capacity to learn in the same way so they try to let them understand in their own way. Teachers are never bad, it is only their way of teaching which is different from each other and makes them different in the mind of students. They only want to see their students happy and successful. A good teacher never loses patience and teaches every student accordingly.
          Good teachers are also the best friends of their students who help them in deciding true path in their life. There are many teachers in any school or college but only one of them becomes favourite of any student. Teachers set our goals of education through their collective roles of unique teaching and learning process. Our teachers motivate us to always work in harmony. Our teachers understand the problems of us and deal with us in both ways personally and professionally. They teach us to have positive attitude towards life.
          Admiration, devotion, education, inspiration and compassion are what you have. So I give you a toast to you, my teacher, because you deserve to be celebrated. You are the spark, the inspiration, the guide, the candle to our life.

Respect All, Fear None.

          Physical activities make our body active so we people must do some physical exercises once in a while. Playing sports is one example of a physical activity. Sport includes all forms of competitive physical activities or games which, through casual or organized participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants and in some cases, entertainment to spectators. 

          One time to show one's capabilities in sports is through joining the intramurals. Intramurals is filled with different varieties of sports, whether it is an individual or a team sport. Chess, Volleyball, Badminton, and Basketball are ecamples of which. The players get a chance to play a game they love and to give pride to their respective sections at the same time. The purpose of intramurals is also to provide opportunities for leadership, teamwork, and fellowship while participating in the various areas of athletic competition. 
          Engaging in such activities requires hardwork, perseverance, and commitment. It is not that easy you can miss a lot of academic-related requirements but it's all part of the life of student-athletes. 
          Booths were also built during the games that also had variations. Wedding booth, Chem Lock, and Love Maze were just some of the many booths that were created. 
          Intramurals is one of the most anticipated and the most awaited event by the students for they can enjoy it freely because there are no classes. Whatever sport an athlete is playing, the mosf important thing to have is sportsmanship. You cannot consider yourself an athlete if you don't know how to accept defeat.

A Little Fun Wouldn't Hurt

A place that is full of dreams, should also be a place filled with happy people.
School, even by just thinking about it, you can already be stressed out. Requirements here, requirements there. Performance here, performance there. A place that is surrounded by bullies who can make the lives of the students even worse. The victims of bullying will then get sick and will eventually stop going to school. But there is this advocacy that aims to inculcate in the minds of students that school is not just a place for learning, but also a place for fun and enjoyment as they enjoy what they are doing. The Happy Schools Movement.
Through this program, the learners’ full potential is given the greatest attention by creating a happier and more positive school culture. There are 15 advocacy themes in this movement which varies among different subjects and ages of the learners. “Start Right, Grow Smart” (Kindergarten), “Our roots, Our Strength” (Mother Tongue), “Solve for Life” (Mathematics), “Sa ALS matuto ka, Tara na!” (Alternative Learning System) and “Paghubogsa Kabataan, Tungo sa Magandang Kinabukasan!” (Youth Formation) are just some of the advocacy themes of Happy Schools Movement.
In my own opinion, this is a great advocacy because school is stressing and some aren’t enjoying. Schools should also be fun, not just a place that stirs the mind of the students.
