What the Stars in the sky tell Me About Life




I have red a story before, it is about boy who was always ignored or rejected by his father. It was his father's birthday so he decided to give his father a gift. He decided to make a painting of their family. He made the painting more than a week. He took time and effort to make this painting. So when he gives the painting he was expecting an appreciation from his father. But when he gave it, he was so disappointed because his work was again rejected by his father. Because of his disappointment, he had lost his appetite towards food. He went directly to his room and looked up the sky. Just then he realized that he was just liked the stars. Often ignored or sometimes forgotten. He realized that he is still lucky that he has a mother who comforts him whenever he is sad. But the stars don't have their mothers to comfort them.
Just as the boy in the story we sometimes feel being rejected or just ignored. We would sometimes ask ourselves "Why are they doing this to me?" "Why are there people who don’t know how to appreciate things?" They don't know how to appreciate just simple things. Kissing your parents before you go to school is just a simple thing. Respecting is just a simple thing. Saying "thank you" is just a simple thing.

These stars remind me of the story which also reminds me of appreciating things done by people around you. It reminds me of the things done to me by my parents just to let me stay in school but I wasn’t able to reach their expectations to me. I want able to give them good grades. But still I am striving to give them good grades. And still I did my best, but it wasn’t enough to make them happy. And until now I am still hoping to have good grades just to make them happy.

They reminded me that there is still hope in this world and there is no problem without a solution. And there’s no way to run away from your problem. And if you cannot solve your problem then….. The problem is you!!!!

The stars reminded me of my dream to tour around the world. If I am already on the other side if the world, I will just look at them and think of the things that happened into my life before I realized my dream.

They reminded me of the “kapamilya” stars that I idolize. Ever since I was a child I dreamed of being one of the stars. I want to be one of the champions. My idol is Sarah Geronimo. I like her very much. She has a golden voice and she I good at acting.

They also reminded me of my grandmother who just past away. She said that if she will die, she would be one of the stars in the sky. She died because of heart attack.

reflections on teachers teaching


Reflections on Teachers and Teaching

“Teaching is the noblest job in the world,” our teacher in H.E.L.E. said. He has been telling us over and over again. He said that teaching is not profession but a noble job. Our teacher wants us to understand that teaching is not an easy thing to do. "A lawyer is a profession because a lawyer has a big salary, but a teacher has less salary, "he said. He can say that it is noble because teaching id a very tiresome job. Teaching had-headed students is a very difficult task.


On the KYSD, I applied a position as a Sci-C teacher and a Hometech teacher but, I wasn’t accepted by Sir Nellas but on the other side, Mme. Gallo appointed me as the teacher to substitute her. On the day of the interview there were many Bartlett people at the faculty room. After each interview was asking the one was interviewed already if the questions were difficult. Many answered yes. So were so nervous at that time. Many thought that we made some “sip sip” things so Mme. Gallo accepted us. Many questioned us about our teaching. They said that we were not worthy for the positions because we don’t know about Science. Actually, we were accepted because Mme. Gallo fined us worthy of being a teacher. Besides, we were the only ones who applied for the position. And since the lesson was quite long, so she accepted us. On the day of our teaching, the people in Villamor were so noisy because they don’t want to listen to us. Others hate us and others are just talking. We were explaining the lessons quickly because we are running out of time but we made sure that they understood the lessons. During our teaching, there were students who participated in our discussion actively and I would like to thank those people especially Chloe and Mayflor and Roxenne. And I’m very sorry for those who weren’t mentioned. I am so disappointed of the way they treated us. They didn’t respect us. Somebody said that they didn’t respect us because they hate us. I don’t like to hate. But they hated me. And I don’t know why. I don’t know why there is still hatred in this world. Why can’t we just live in a world full of love and friendship? Why can’t we just live fairly? Why can’t we live in a very respectful atmosphere so no one would be hurt? But since this is life, we should live it to the fullest. And live peacefully with your loved ones.

By the way I had a fun experience during that day. I had fun teaching students who are really listening to us. And I felt what the teachers feel when teaching their students. The teachers feel bad when students don’t listen to them. We should treasure our teachers because they were the ones who opened our eyes into this big world called “earth.” The teachers know what is best for their students. Listen to them. They are unforgettable.

My Friendzzz

Do you who are my friend? You can take a guess……I’ll give you a clue ……. These friends of mine were my enemies before. Actually at first, I didn’t like their attitudes but destiny has played on us….I had a problem on my projects at that time. And I don’t know what to do with it. Just then, one day they offered their help to me. They knew that we have no money at that time. They helped me in my projects so my clearance was signed. After that instance, they became my friends. We have been good friends. No one betrayed in the group. We had a very happy and joyful atmosphere that year. During snacks, we are always together. And during lunch breaks, we will be the stand up comedians in our room. We fill the atmosphere with laughter and smiles with our funny jokes. When we were tasked to do a group box, everyone was very envious to us because we had the cheapest, the most beautiful and the most durable box. At that time we are in a group. Our leader is the best leader. He is Ronnel Villaflor. We had the best group at that time because of him. And as members, we were also the best. In academics, cleanliness and behavior we were the best. To exaggerate, we are the best group in the history of science classes in Tejero Elementary school. In speaking of “science”, our science teacher, Mrs. Bonachita, loved our group. We sang her favorite song during a group presentation in our class. Aside from being the best, we were also best of friends. And now, in U.P., I hope I can find best friends here. I think that will be a difficult thing. I am the only Tejero student here. Out of four of us who took the exam, I am the one and only who passed. A difficult task isn’t it? Good luck to me….
