Reflective Essay



Making a blog, it's the project that our English teacher gave us. At first, I thought this was just a piece of cake however as time passed by I had trouble in making this project. I didn’t know how to put a music background. I was so nervous that I will be the only one who doesn’t have music in their blogs. So what I did is ask my classmates how they did it. And thanks to them I was able to know how.
As I go on making this project, I learned a lot of things. My writing skills got better and also my typing speed got faster.
I never knew making a blog is so much fun. I enjoyed every single second making my blog especially exploring the widgets that Blogger offers to its users.


I would like to say thank you to all who supported and helped me in making this projects especially my classmates. And thank you, Mrs. Christine Luz Z. Boniao for introducing this site to us. Because of it I learned how to make and titivate a blog and I love it. God bless you all!

Pasungko Festival

  
     The Pasungko Festival is celebrated for the anniversary of our province, Misamis Occidental. Wherein people all around the province come together to join the celebration. People dances, gives food, and praises our Heavenly Father during the festival.


     It didn't rain during the festival that makes the day hot. The crowd were complaining about the hotness of the day. And in order to get refreshed, a lot of people bought cold drinks. Some people didn't thinks twice to throw their garbage properly. They were uncontrollable. And it make the surroundings messy, I was some what disappointed for those people who throw there trash everywhere for they were not able to discipline their selves.
     Of all these things that happen, the festival was still successful. It was a good thing to be united with others living in other places in Misamis Occidental to keep the friendship between neighboring places. But next time, everyone should be disciplined and should throw their garbages in the right trash bins.

Change

  
     Change is something that presses us out of our comfort zone. They say that it's inevitable. It is for the better or for worst depending on how you respond from it. Change is the only thing constant here in the world. So we need to adopt changes in our lives.
     Change mad my life a very different one from the past. It changed my whole life. Ever since I was young, I was so high tempered. How I wish to change that attitude. It took time before I reached the level that I joined them when they made fun of me and I won't be angry. And often times, I'm the one who make fun of myself first.
     One problem that our society faces is pollution. It makes our society dirty which affects the image of our place. And once you can inhale the odor, it will make you sick. Pollution is often caused by factories disposing their waste on rivers, smokes from cars and smoke from burning of plastics. Even though burning of plastics is prohibited, there are still hard-headed people who burn plastics. And I hate to say this, but some of our neighbors are one of them.
     Corruption is also a problem especially to our nation. Some of our leaders are corrupt. And they're only thinking of themselves. They actually don't care about us citizens in our country. All they think is money and making them richer than before. The Philippines is one of the most corrupt nations in the world. And I want to change that. When our leaders will stop stealing money from the government, I know we will be one of the richest countries.
     War is commonly heard especially on news. It's one of the main problems that the world is facing nowadays. People are killing each other for no reason. And the solution is peace. But in order to have peace, we should love each other first. Once love is there, peace will come next and there won't be any violence and every body will be united by the same purpose.
     Change is never easy but it's worthwhile. It will take a lot of path in order to obtain this change we wanted. The process of change can either be easy or difficult. But if we really wanted this change, we need to hang on tight until the end of the ride. We need to be patient, understanding and courageous to face the obstacles we may face in order to obtain it.

Reaction Paper of Thank You Ma'am

     To read the story, click HERE.

  
     Everybody has different reactions regarding certain events.
     What if someone tries to snatch something from us, what would you do? Will you get a grip of your bag and try to fight with the snatcher? Or will you just let him get away with it and call for help?
     And after what had happened, will you still trust that person?
     It is very unusual for a person to trust someone who had recently tried to steal something from them. This act may seem foolish to others, but to Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones, it seemed right. Mrs. Jones was heading home from school that night when Roger tried to snatch her bag away from her. She was very strong that she could literally carry the boy to her house. I have never heard of such a situation when a woman takes a boy who tried to snatch her bag in.
     We live in a world where actions are controlled by norms. Usually, when a person who has tried to snatch our bag is inside our house, we don't take our sight on that person. We watch every step he takes, every move he makes. But what Mrs. Jones did is different from the norms we follow. She didn't have any doubts about the fact that the boy who grabbed her bag was in her house. She seemed to put a lot of trust on Roger, considering the fact that she didn't lay her eyes on him every now and then. She treated him like a normal visitor and even offered food to eat. Others may be shocked to know what Mrs. Jones did, but it's her decision. She thinks the boy is harmless and I think what she did is very courteous thing to do. In a way, I admire her passion for children and giving her trust on them.
     What would you do if you had been caught and the door is left wide open? Will you try to run through the open door? Or will you just stay from where you are?
     It is unusual for a person not to try to escape even he had a chance. Others might have tried to escape from the first place, but what Roger did was different. Unlike others, he didn't escape instead he stayed. He didn't want to be mistrusted anymore so he stayed and I think that's the right thing to do. Everybody wants to be trusted, not to be mistrusted. He thinks that the thing he did is right and it all took him a lot guts to stay.

What Christmas Means To Me

     
     Christmas, its everybody's favorite time of the year. When I was a kid, I loved opening gifts and eating meals with my family.
     As I grew older, I realized what Christmas is all about. Before, I just thought Christmas is the time of giving gifts and receiving gifts, but actually its the time of sharing, caring, loving, being happy, being with the ones you loved, and most of all, this is the day when our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ was born.
     Christmas doesn't really mean to have a lot of gifts, but this is the day that God sent His only Son so that we will be saved from all our sins and so that we might have salvation.
     This is what it's supposed to mean, but as we people made it, it seems like a day of giving gifts and talking about Santa Clause. We really should be telling the true meaning of Christmas especially to the children.
     Everything else is good, the gifts and everything, but it's good to remember the true meaning of Christmas.

My Teacher, My Hero

     What comes out into your mind when you hear the word hero? Is it Batman? or Superman? These guys Batman and Superman are just fictional heroes not a real life time hero.
     What is a hero? A hero is actually the person who won't give up on you easily and whom you can depend on during the times of necessity.
     Teachers are heroes. They sacrifice a lot for us. Despite of their sleepless nights and stressful days, they are still willing to teach us about the things that we may not be able to learn in our home. And we should all be thankful for that since being educated nowadays is a very big deal because competition is everywhere. Even in applying for jobs, one who has higher level of education will be the first one to be hired. And without our teachers, we won't be what we are for the next couple of years.
     As we all know, teachers are also our parents, specifically our second parents. It's actually hard to raise a child so how much more if you are handling at least 40 children. How hard the role of a teacher is. We may think that being a teacher is an easy job but no its not.
    To repay them back for what they have done for us, we should have respect to them because teachers also help in molding our personalities to become a better person. And without them we will be nothing in this world.

Our Values Today


     Values, it is an important asset for a person to become a better person in the future. It's a person's good traits.
     Nowadays, the value that once we had are slowly disappearing. But are they really disappear? These values are not actually disappearing but hidden because of the influences around us. For example, kids today lost their respect to those people who are older than them especially their parents. These influences cause people to be unable to control their feeling and reactions and because of these there are changes in our society.
     Without values there will be a lot of misunderstanding among people that leads to fighting, war, and death. The values that we have depends upon our application of it on our life and how we react under any circumstances.
