All is Well, MA-X-W-E-L-L!

-
     As the academic year comes to an end, I find myself reflecting on my time in this school and realizing that no one can replace the memories and experiences I have had in my section. I have heard the saying that "all is well that ends well," but for me, it is more than that. This academic year has been filled with both challenges and joys, and I believe that it is precisely because of my section and the people in it that it has been such a special time.      From the first day of class, I was struck by the warmth and openness of my classmates. Although it can be hard to connect with people in a new environment, my section quickly became a team, supporting one another in both academic and personal pursuits. The sense of community and belonging that I felt in my section was unique, and it made me realize how lucky I was to be surrounded by such amazing individuals.      This year, I also recognized the transformative power of the bonds that...

Tomorrow is Never Promised

          "Tomorrow is never promised" a universal truth that we all must accept. Life is unpredictable and we never know what the future holds. However, we can still make plans for the future and work towards our goals. As I reflect on where I see myself in a decade, I realize that anything can happen, but I can still prepare for a future that I desire. I can still make a difference      In ten years, I see myself as a medical student still studying and thriving. I have always been passionate in this field and always had the drive to purse it. I had this slogan at heart ever since to help the sick serving my community by providing and improving their health and overall wellbeing.      Of course, it is impossible to predict what challenges may arise in the future. However I plan to be prepared for whatever comes my way. I see myself continuing to learn and grow both personally and professionally. I plan to take advant...

Should You Be Afraid of Change?

-
Image
         Change is an inevitable part of life. Seasons change, people change, and situations change. Sometimes, change can be difficult to grasp and become comfortable with. However, change is necessary if we want to grow and progress. This is why "Change, it starts with me" is a very powerful and relevant phrase that constantly reminds us how change is achieved step by step.       The first step towards any change is recognizing that there is a need for it. It is important to be aware of one's strengths and weaknesses and to constantly try to improve upon them. Self-reflection and introspection are integral to figuring out what changes need to be made. It takes a lot of courage and humility to acknowledge areas where one is lacking, but it is necessary if we want to make progress.      Once we have identified the need for change, we must address it. This can involve a conscious effort to make modifications to our behaviou...

          Just like clockwork, Mother's Day comes around every year as a day dedicated to honoring and celebrating the devotion, compassion, and endless sacrifices of mothers around the world. This holiday has a rich history dating back to ancient times, where mothers were venerated as the symbol of fertility and femininity. Today, Mother's Day is celebrated globally as a day to show gratitude and appreciation towards the selfless love and dedication of mothers.  They work tirelessly, just like clockwork, to manage households, raise families, and keep everything in order. Mothers are indeed the powerhouse of families, societies, and nations, making it a special occasion to honor and recognize their contributions.       A mother's time is one of the most essential sacrifices she makes. A mother's time is valuable, and she devotes the majority of it to her children. She gets up early in the morning to make sure her children are up and...

Labor Day 2023: An Important Event Towards Recognizing the Contributions of Workers in the Philippines

-
Image
      Labor Day is a significant holiday that honors the contributions made by employees across a variety of businesses. Due to the difficulties Filipino workers confront, Labor Day is celebrated with special significance in the Philippines. Reflecting on the efforts of employees and promoting better working conditions and ethical labor practices are important on this day.      One method to honor workers' efforts is to guarantee that they are adequately compensated. Many Filipino workers are given low salaries and work in substandard conditions, which can have a detrimental influence on their quality of life. By giving fair salaries and benefits to workers, we can recognize the hard work and effort they put in every day and promote a culture of respect for the labor force's contributions.      Furthermore, recognizing workers' efforts entails acknowledging their contribution to the Philippine economy. The labor force is critical to the ...

Scribbles: Lines, Loops and Squiggles

-
Image
      I am of mixed emotions to grasp how three-fourths of our school year went so fast. I would have to say things have changed for the better. I think.  Scribbles may not make any sense to some.  Just like scribbles, my mind is hard to comprehend what happened. A mixture of lines, loops, and squiggles. But these scribbles somewhat hide a deeper meaning in children's eyes.       Throughout this quarter, I have learned many things and encountered different experiences, both exciting and challenging especially on our subject, Information and Communications Technology. It has been a great moment to develop my knowledge and understanding in each of the different areas within the subject. The quarter as a whole has enabled me to explore further my strengths and work on improving my weaknesses so that I can enhance my overall performance. For one, our community-based research in our subject had engaged us in working with other students during...
