Blog #14 (My Alma Mater) Best day of my life; Cavite National Science High School

                      It was the greatest opportunity in life. Going to school especially for this exclusive school Cavite National Science High School (Regional Science High School). Wow, big name and school for me. I never thought of passing the entrance exam then that's it Im here and still studying. Still achieving my dreams. This school taught me many things in life. Different lessons. Yes, harships also. And some bad memories in my life. But most of all great memories in my life. I strongly believe that high school is the open door, into the rest of my life. The last days of my grade 9 high school career are fast approaching and I can only imagine  Throughout these three years, I have felt a lot of urgency about graduating high school.  I cannot believe that it has come this fast. I remember my first days of high school. I was just dying to experience all the new and exciting things that awaited me. I was just a shy type freshmen student and now, an active grade 9 student. Next year is my senior year, wow. 

                      Well its K-12 curriculum do I need to continue my studies in CNSHS? Well actually it really depends, it's 50/50. My parent are supporting me whenever my decision is. So I'm not yet sure. Still there's me that really wants to stay. I have heard adults tell me that high school is going to be the best four years of my life. So far, they are right. I am so grateful for the opportunity to experience a public high school. I cherish every experience and relationship that I have made in my first three years of high school so far. Of course, as I move on with my life, I will value the education that high school has granted me. But it is the relationships that I have made with students and teachers that I will take with me as I graduate high school and move on to college right? It is really hard to decide as of now. But my best memories we're here. I've learned a lot of things here. It is my second home now. So it is good to stay and it is better to not? I think there's a great opportunity to me outside. So my decision still depends.

                       Everyone has heard or been told, “high school is what you make of it.” High school is in fact what you make of it, but it is also the time of great change in everybody. Entering grade nine you still feel like a kid, your post-secondary and career choices are far from top priority. However, by grade twelve we become more mature and grow into young adults. Personally looking back to my grade nine self and comparing her to my grade twelve self of today, I am able to see changes in my character, my athletics and my goals. Well this school, honestly I really love this. And I hope staying here will be my future decision and choices in my life.

Blog #13 (Heroes of Our Lives) #Salute 44 Fallen Heroes

                       Amen! For this great 44 Fallen! Salute! For you sacrifice lives! You are the great people I'll never forget! These men knew, right from the start, that their lives are on the line every single time. These men were willing to offer the ultimate sacrifice to achieve the objective. All indications point to the fact that they achieved their objective: they got the international terrorist which is the target of the clandestine operation. Let’s not kid ourselves certain sectors of the police and military, the MILF even, had to be kept in the dark. The commanders and men knew very well that things could go wrong in any operation, as it did in this one. There's no need to blame anyone else for this tragic. It happens for a reason. Happens for a realization in our lives. We must give importance for these great soldiers who always fight for our peace and safety. It's their duty. And I'm very proud of them. I thought this is for fictional but no, it is the reality. They truly show us that they became responsible enough for their duties. Thank you is not enough. You, great heroes were the most great things I've encountered in my life. Filipinos will treasure this one of a kind and extraordinary things you've done.

                        It was not anger that led us. It was guilt. And shame. These men died as heroes, yet our  President, their Commander-In-Chief, was not there the very first chance he got. We have to let them know, as they take their place in a favored corner of the afterlife, that we value their sacrifice. We don’t have to hold their caskets or shake the hands of their families. We should not take selfies. We just have to be there. Yes, its not right to blame anyone. Yes it happens and I cant do anything to bring them back but I have this promise in myself. I'll never forget them. Thank you my true heroes #Salute44Fallen. And respect for Mr. President Aquino and the Commander In Chief.

Thank you, gentlemen, for your sacrifice. "Sa inyong mga pamilya, taos-puso po kaming nakikiramay."

Blog #11 (How Pope Inspires Me) Pope Francis;Papa Kiko Thank You!

                       Why is he really here? What is the purpose of his visit? The questions that been roaming around my mind. In fact, I really don't have any idea of the personality of Pope Francis. I thought he's a strict and serious man. Yes, as a Pope, he must have that kind of personality. But I'm wrong. He's like an ordinary person like us. Ordinary human being like us. Simple and kind worshiper of God like us. And a good father,friend, and pope to us. Yes, I really adore him so much. Seeing his smile. His smile that brings everyone a new hope and faith. And the fact that he visited us. Wow, it was a great privilege to us. There was this article that says, "Don't forget the poor" and "How I would like a church that is poor and that is for the poor." Pope Francis is a simple man living a simple life, but doing extraordinary things. Pope Francis chose the name Francis after St. Francis, a man of poverty and peace who protected and loved God's creations." Yes he is a totally a good man.

Pope Francis inspires me. One single act of kindness can go a long way. It feels good when he's here, then I am hopelessly devoted for God but when he came, my faith in God became stronger and brighter. I don't know but he has this great charisma and some things you can only find by his personality. It's like that.

                        While watching him I thought of an answer to my questions. He was here because to and for us Filipinos reunite again with our faith. For us to and our faith to became stronger. Whatever happens to us we must think of it as an trials and errors of us in life. Living with greatness and compassion. Like this typhoon Yolanda. Pope Francis gave his sympathy and mercy. It really shows to his face that he is concerned and affected by this big problem coming to us Filipinos. What he wants is that, no matter what happens, we cant blame ourselves nor anyone to any problems will come to us. God is with us. We can't think of any bad reasons with this.  And the most vulnerable are the poor. The Yolanda victims and survivors represent all of us and the rest of the world – especially the poor — that are vulnerable to the effects of climate change.

                       
                      As we welcome Pope Francis we too are invited to share his concern about the environment and about climate change. We need to look at our own lifestyle and to act to mitigate or reverse climate change. As PCP II reminds us, we are called to “care for the needy and care for the earth.” We thank you Pope for this one of a kind experience for us Filipinos. We thank you for everything it means so much for us. Such an honor and greatest privilege to us. God Bless you and stay strong! You are always in our hearts! We love you!

"Mercy and compassion must therefore be concretely expressed not just in our care for the poor but through our action to care for the environment. (Fr. Amado L. Picardal, CSsR or Fr. Picx of Iligan City is now based in Manila as Executive Secretary of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines-Basic Ecclesial Communities. He biked from Baclaran in Metro Manila to Iligan in Mindanao from December 10 to 23, to call attention to climate change and the survivors of killer typhoons)."
