My Teacher, My Hero

We, students sometimes take our teachers for granted. For some, teachers may seem annoying with their endless assignments, difficult projects and boring everyday lectures whether related to values or their subject. All the pressure they put on our shoulders which may sometimes seem unrelated or even exaggerated.

There so many kinds of teachers like strict, kind, generous, with high standards, also those teachers who tend to talk a lot just to show their intelligence but is often far from the point and so on. But that's the beauty of it; we all have our own unique teachers which makes them memorable as we move on without lives.

When you look at it, our teachers are like ordinary modern day heroes. They prepare lectures which they will impart to us the following day, even if making the lectures will take all night. Being patient, understanding, and supportive and making us feel at home with their presence; acting like our second parents. They become part of our lives, part of molding our personality and behaviour. They help our parents in guiding us to the right direction so that in the end we can stand on our own two feet.

So whatever our teachers may seem, that's just part of their job. They all have their own way of molding us into better individuals whatever we may like their methods or not.

Thank you Teachers!

Going back to the 1st Grading

New school year, another opportunity for us to gain knowledge and wisdom. New classroom, same classmates, same school and new teacher who are willing to impart what they know to the next generation.

At the beginning of the new school year, it starts with the first grading period. It is now August and the 1st grading period is about to reach an end as the periodical test is drawing near.

So what have I learned this grading period? Well I am happy to say I have learned many things in this grading period. Not just in the lessons but I’m also learning about responsibility, respect, sacrifice and hardwork. I’m sure I will continue learning about this as I go on to the next grading period. Gained new experiences; like creating, editing, designing and writing my own blog. Also, learning about the history of the Internet.

This grading period I have encountered many challenges because during this grading period I joined a contest first was the poster making contest, during the nutrition month celebration. I did my best and won second place. Then taken by surprise I was asked to represent our school to a mural contest. With almost no experience in painting on a wall, I did what I can to make the mural great but unfortunately I didn’t win.

Even though I lost I will not give up. I know that challenges are a part of life and it can come in any form. Fail or not I take it as a new experience to learn from and to remember.

Moving on, I will continue learning and gaining experience. Through this I can shape my life to success and help me go the right way. With the help of everyone around me, I know I will be okay.

Buwan ng Wika

“Sa Pangangalaga ng Wika at Kalikasan, Wagas na Pagmamahal ang Talagang Kailangan.”

The statement above is the theme of this year’s Buwan ng Wika. We celebrate Buwan ng Wika every August because it reminds us that even though English is the international language and is commonly used by most Filipinos, we must not forget that we have our own dialect which is Tagalog. That we must be encouraged to speak and use it.

This month we celebrate the said occasion with various activities related to being a Pilipino. Like poster slogan, essay writing, quizzes, jingles, and the famous Balagtasan. With these activities to be done it will help us realize the importance of Tagalog in the process.

Tagalog is the one of the things that makes us who we are. It gives us identity, when people hear the dialect tagalog; the first thing that will come to their head is: “Hey that guy/girl is a Pilipino.”

We must be proud! Filipinos are known for many things. They are humble, hardworking creative, smart, hospitable and are able to smile and laugh despite all their problems.

In this celebration it keeps the memory of what the early Pilipinos did for our country, those Pilipinos we now call heroes. Those Pilipinos fought for our country, to bring back our freedom. They gave their lives in fighting the colonizers from taking over our country. They did what they had to do to bring back what was rightfully ours, brave enough to stand up and say: Enough! They attained freedom one way or the other.

That’s what this celebration is all about; it is a celebration that will make us proud to be Pilipinos.
