Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities

Equal Rights,

Equal Opportunities

“Every man, woman, and child deserve equal rights. Equal opportunities. Equal dignity. Without discrimination.”

Every human in this world deserves to be treated equally. No matter what we are, no matter who we are and no matter where we are. We should all know where we should stand. We are all humans and we should be treated like true humans. Rich or poor, we should be treated fairly because God has created us equally.

We, human beings have our own rights. By this time, we are all accepted. Wherein every human in this challenging world has the right to be respected. In fact, we all know that we have our own rights since the day we were born. But we should always bear in mind that if we have our own rights, we have also our opportunities. In this modern world today, we are in a democratic country where every human being is accepted. We had the right to live freely and to be treated as humans and also, to be respected. Discrimination should not be done in our nation. Because we are all brothers and sisters in the eyes of God. So, we should not only be thinking of our own sake but we should all be thinking of the sake of many.

We should implement “Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities,” in our country in order that we will prevent and stopped discrimination. This will lead us to peace and unity and in doing whatever we want to do in our precious life. With the help of this, we can live freely and happily towards a better and a progressive country.

Responding to Climate Change

RESPONDING TO CLIMATE CHANGE

Around the world today, global climate has been changing and still continue to change. Global climate change is identified and considered as one of the world's largest phenomena. Climate change is one of the most important public policy issues facing our world today.

Climate change refers to the overall changes in temperature, rainfall, wind speed in the atmosphere largely as a result of human activities. Human activities have been highly associated with the current changes in global climate. This is because most of the human activities have resulted in increased greenhouse gases like the carbon dioxide, which results to a change in global climate. Some of the human activities that are associated with global climate change includes; burning of plastics, natural gases and oil. These activities increase the level of warmth on earth and this may result to changes in climate.

Overall, we should be more aware of the activities that we are performing in our daily lives. We should be united in order to minimize the changes in climate.   

Kyu! :DD

My Reflection

Second Grading Period

         Second Grading Period has come to an end. It’s just so fast that I didn’t even noticed it’s time for the Periodic exam again. After this, we will have our most awaited Sembreak and then, we will start a new quarter again. Well, in this quarter, there were so many things I have done and achieved.

As life goes round and rounds like a cycle, we will continue encountering and experiencing different kinds of problems. During the second grading period, there were lots and lots of projects and requirements, which are very frustrating and stressful. I know that it is just a part of learning but I still manage to divide my time in doing those, and the good thing is I was able to finished and submit my projects on the exact day and on the exact time of submission. Whenever our teachers are giving us a test or a quiz, my classmates have so many reactions. “Oh, My God,” here, “Oh, No!” there, “Test again?” everywhere. But for me, instead of over reacting, I just sit down on my chair and go over to my notes and memorize important words and terms so that I will be able to answer the questions correctly. When it comes to having fun, I love and I enjoy sharing jokes and happy moments with my classmates not only on the four corners of our classroom but also outside. Despite of being busy with our studies, we still have time for fun and enjoyment and that’s the good thing of being a high school student. Especially when some of my classmates started cracking and spilling some jokes, I could not help myself but to laugh out loud and all the bad vibes will turn into good vibes. But when it comes to serious matters, we are all speechless especially when our teachers are scolding us. They are always comparing us with other lower sections. They said that when it comes to intelligence, we are much better but when it comes to behavior and attitude, we are much undisciplined unlike other sections. They also told us that we should be the role models of discipline because other sections are highing on us. Yes. I will remember those heartening words until the last chapter of my life. Because of that, I have now the reason to study really very hard especially now that we have our new adviser, Mr. Rodolfo Raquel who is very good in teaching and in molding us. He is always there to remind us of what to do especially now that we are already a grown-up.

All in all, Second Grading Period is a very tiring and a busy time yet very enjoyable and full of happiness. I am glad because during this period, I was able to experience many unforgettable moments: either good or bad memories. And most especially, I have learned many important lessons and I look forward on the next two grading periods that I will be able to eliminate my idleness in studying. In short, I will strive harder so that those awful things, which happened in this period, will never happen again in my entire life.  

Scientricity: Energizing Science Clubbers for Sustainable Energy

“Scientricity: Energizing Science Clubbers for Sustainable Energy”

The Theme of the Science Club Month Celebration which is, “Scientricity: Energizing Science Clubbers for Sustainable Energy” aims to introduce students including the teachers to sustainable energy and engage them in the call for the responsible use of energy. Mother Earth is the source of life and energy that’s why the first thing we should do is to unite in order to save mother earth.

It has been said that we should be united in conserving energy. We should minimize the use of energy at home, school and in our community. Conserving energy is very important for us people of the world because it will help us to save electricity. Isn’t it that Scientricity means “science” and “electricity?” These two words are connected and related to each other because science has something to do with electricity and also, electricity has something to do with science. So, if we apply Scientricity in our everyday life, we will be on our way to sustainable energy.

Overall, we should be more responsible with the use of energy so that we will conserve energy. We should be more aware with the responsible use of energy and we should all be open-minded in order that we will do something good to save the environment and most especially, Mother Earth.

My Teacher, My Hero

“My Teacher, My Hero”

         
         There are countless definitions of heroes in our world today. A hero is someone noted and remembered for feats of courage or nobility of purpose, especially one who has sacrificed his or her own life for the sake of many. When people say hero, they usually think of cartoon characters like Superman, Wonder woman, Spiderman, Batman and more. But as far as I know, everyone can be a hero. Every individual is considered to be a hero just by simply helping others in their own simple ways. But what really makes a person a true hero?

 “Every teacher is a Hero.” They are the mirror of a great and a true hero. They are the ones who serve as our second parents in school. They play an important and a vital role in molding us students to shift into a better person. As far as I know, being a teacher is very difficult. It is really stressful and frustrating to teach and to discipline us students with different attitudes and behavior. Sometimes, they are scolding us but it is just their responsibility; to discipline us students and to provide us a better quality of education. It is indeed a big responsibility on their part as a teacher but they are not forgetting those. They are not just going to school to sit there, do nothing and wait for their salary but they are always there, willing to teach us the knowledge and education we are aiming for. They spend their precious time for us bearing all the hardships in teaching us students.

 Unlike others, I appreciate all the hardships and sacrifices of our teachers. Without them, I could not attain the kind of education that I have now. Without them, I would not become a better person of this challenging world. Above all, they are my inspiration to live life to the fullest. I would not forget those memories that I have with them; the lessons that I have learned from them and most especially, the love and care that they had given and shared to us students.

Modern Hero

“The Wonder Woman of my Life”

        A hero is indeed a person of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. A hero is a person, who in the opinion of others, have heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal. I believe every one of us has his/her hero in life. A person who completes the missing pieces in our lives; a person whom we consider the best and the greatest hero of our lives. Just like everyone does, I do have a hero in my life which I consider “the best among the rest.”
        “Mothers know best.” When problems arise, I always run to my mother. Even in the times that I feel my friends’ suggestions are not comforting enough to calm my doubting nerves, I turn to my mother to put to rest all my anxieties. I never knew she babysat on me until my age of understanding. My mother was my ultimate babysitter, feeding me when I start crying my lungs out, or singing to me even if I woke up the entire neighborhood at two in the morning. When there was no one to turn to, when I was too shy to tell my peers about a love interest or an academic failure, it was my mother who knew all about it first-hand. I frankly and honestly tell to my mother everything, from deliciously wicked neighborhood gossip to distressingly worrisome personal problems. When it comes on making decisions in life, mother would make sure there were no glitches and hitches to the outcome. She would actually contradict my premises and conclusions, but that’s because she wanted to purify my intentions and inclinations. “My mother is my number one fan.” This is still true even now that I am already a grown-up teenage girl. Back in my elementary years when I was joining in different contests, my mother was there, waving her arms as I took to the stage. Mothers are really like that: proud of their children’s accomplishments and skills. In these times when people are more inclined to find fault than accept assets, it is heartening to know that our mothers are there to believe in us.
        Our mothers accompanied us in our important moments: the first day of school, the first visit to the dentist, the first stage appearance, the first communion, and more. For them, it felt splendid to see their children take life one step further. It may be an emotional moment for them but no one can say it was sappy. Those instances were their harvests-results of the seeds of love and care they planted early in our lives. So . . . . I am very proud to say that, "My Mother is my Hero."
       

  

          

Tatag ng Wikang Filipino, Lakas Pagka-Pilipino

“Tatag ng Wikang Filipino, 

Lakas Pagka-Pilipino”

Language is always tied up to one’s culture and of course, his/her identity. As a people, the Filipinos have extensively adapted and substantially adopted the Western culture. Maybe, in today’s world and in the future, it is only language that may make the Filipinos distinct from their neighboring countries. Even if English is becoming to be the world’s dominant language or their regional language. After all, it is the only language that can really in essence, capture the feelings and sentiments of the people, and can represent their true spirit as Filipinos. Also, language can help promote unity within the country and develop a sense of belongings.

The Philippines’ National Hero, Dr. Jose Protacio Rizal Mercado Y Alonso Realonda, expressed the utmost importance of loving one’s country through loving one’s language, among others. He wrote in Filipino: “Ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika ay higit pa sa amoy ng malansang isda.” He said that it is difficult to consider one as a nationalist if he was ashamed of his own language. This is an important matter for one who does not give value to his/her native language, whether national or regional, to be aware of. It is sad to note that, in today’s times, there are many Filipinos who admire their countrymen who are very good in speaking the English language but consider those who are not good in English as not as intelligent or as knowledgeable as the others.

Yet, it is important for the Filipinos to be able to communicate very well in English. But, every one who thinks of themselves as Filipino has also the responsibility to love the country of his/her birth and naturally, his/her own language. It is only in their language that the Filipinos are able to distinguish themselves from other people, especially now that it is already possible to change the color of the skin and the shape and features of the face. In a sense, it is only the language that seems to be the remaining link to the Filipino spirit and their potential towards a lasting national identity.
