2nd Quarter Reflection

Ber months have now come and I could already smell the breeze of Christmas air. Another quarter has again passed and another will come. It has been great and challenging to explore the vast cyberworld.

I could say that it was difficult for me to cope with the subject especially that I was most of the time out of my class. It was a great obstacle to learn the lessons which where discussed in my absence. We did some exercises about the Hypertext Mark Up Language. Here we have learned the ways on how to edit html documents using editors such as the Notepad. Now I know how to make the texts in the web page bold, italic, underlined, center aligned, left, right and etc. The web has always amazed me, and now I know the magic of it. But it is not magic, it is knowledge and skill. I am gratified that our teacher has introduced these lessons patiently. I believe that these learnings are of great significance in our daily lives.

I think that this quarter is really hectic but enjoyable. I will do my best again next grading period so that I could maintain or get a higher grade.

Breaking Barriers Through

English is the UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.

So why is it called the universal language? It's because whatever part you are in the world, English is still familiar and widely known. Above all the languages, it is the most commonly used. It is our key to communication and understanding, it is our number one tool in achieving the progress that we have always been dreaming of. It is our only way to speak to world and be heard. But first we must know and let ourselves be familiar with this language.

Imagine if you were in another country and you do not know how to speak in English, what will happen to you? Its either you will be lost or you might be tricked and they would get the best out of you, unguarded. With English you can explore the world and it's components. With English you can have better camaraderie with people from around the globe. With English you can reach greater heights.

Let us ignite our knowledge in English to those who are less fortunate and help them be literate. Because if all of us will be English proficient, I'm sure that progress is at hand.

My Teacher, My Hero

"Education is painful, continual and difficult thing to be done in kindness, by watching, by warning, by praise but above all, by example."

When I first stepped on the grounds of my Alma mater, I was nervous, I was uncomfortable. I know it is quite normal for a neophyte's first day of school. I was also wondering what would my teachers be. Will they be kind? Will they be friendly and approachable? Will they inspire me to be the best that I can be? Those questions were answered. And now, I am what I am today, because of what they have done yesterday.

Back then, I was a shy type, never really cared about what's happening outside the classroom. I just focused on what was in and just went on with the flow. But things changed when I became the valedictorian of the Regular Class. I was pushed by my teachers, they motivated me to do my best in the academics to stay on top and do what I can do in the co-curricular part of the school. I dreamed to be a part of the school's politics and I could still remember several teachers who have said that someday, I will be the Student Government President of ISNHS, I believed them and did everything so that I could achieve that position. Their words of encouragement has made me accumulate all my skills and potentials and materialized my dream. Then again, when I was frequently going out of my classes to attend some activities and contests, one of my teachers told us that learning is not confined in the four walls of the classroom, but indeed there are more to learn which are of greater significance than the learnings we could acquire in the textbooks.

My teachers have definitely lighted my way and led me to a bright future. You my dear mentors have made me believed that I should break out of my shell, face the world and follow the vast horizons where I can pick a bunch of wisdom. You have definitely changed my life. You are indeed my heroes.
