Change
            Change is something that is constantly occurring in our lives. Not a single moment goes by when everything in our lives will remain consistent. In fact we need to be aware that change is something that will not change.
             Sometimes we need to make choices, and I choose change for the better. This past few days, I have been thinking. I’m not a kid anymore. I am growing up and I need to accept that things are changing and I can’t do anything to stop those changes. And so I decided to grow up. Since first year until now, I know I’m still childish. I want that to change because years from now I’ll be in college. I have to face it with my eyes open and my mind build up. I need to be more responsible , if I want to really finish my studies.
             I also want to make a change in my society. And I know I can change it for the better. I maybe just a student but I know I can make a change. I can join the activities that will help improve the cleanliness of our town.
            I know I can also change my nation. Computers and internet are good things to change our nation. I maybe just one but one is all it takes to start change. I can post activities and information’s that will hopefully encourage the youth to join me change our nation. Just by studying, I know I can change the Philippines economy. By studying , I can get good grades and I can go to college and finish my studies. I can get a good job and the percentage of those who are jobless will lessened. And who knows? I might be an inspiration to the upcoming generation.
            But the change I really want to do is to change the world. I know I can’t stop the wars between two countries or feed those hungry and homeless kids. But I can change the world in my own little ways. They might say that I can’ change the world because I’m too young but I won’t stand here and be the target of temptations. Drugs and early parenthood is the main problem of teens now. It’s a struggle not to be involved with drugs and stuff. But I know  I won’t be one of those guys who don’t care about their future. I think by not being like them any good , I can also tell my fellow teens that we can help change the world by giving love to each and everyone. One’s love alone can change things for the better.
         Changes can happen everyday and anywhere. But we need to see to it that those changes are for the better. And if they’re not, the we have to make it to be from the better.
    

        Every year we celebrate Christmas but I doubt we know what Christmas really means. When I was a youngerwhen Christmas comes, I'll be so excited because I'll be recieving gifts and there will be lots of lights in the streets and food on our table. That's when I thought that Christmas is just about recieving gifts, seeing lights on trees and having plenty of food in the table.
        But as I mature, I learned that Christmas is not just about material things. Last year, I had the worst Christmas ever. My parents were fighthing that every Christmas eve. I thougt it was just a misunderstanding and that they would give that up for us to spend Christmas together. It turned out that they didn't, As a result my sisters and I celebreted Christmas without our parents. We were all alone during that very special day. And we weren't able to do that because of a slly, pathetic fight. And i realized that Christmas is not about lights. foods and recieving gifts. It's all about aabout love and forgiveness. And we can celebrate Christmas everyday. We just need to give love and to forgive.
         And I promise, I won't be spending this Christmas and all the other Christmas. I will live my remaining days and years with love  and forgiveness in the way I can always feel Christmas.

       Making a blog is not really familiar to me. Because it invloves too much typing and I'm used to facebook and other networking sites. Which involves finding friends and looking and at pictures, so this blog making is a new experience  for me in the web. But I do know that blog is like a modernize diary, only it is open to whoever that wan'ts to read it.  Making this blog possible wasn't easy beacause it involves e-mails and passwords which i don't like. But making my blogs were a little easier beause I just need to encode the essays that I made months ago. This blog making is really exciting not just because it is new but  because I know that this experience will help me in expressing my feelings for the past months in my junior life. This experience of blog making is really worth remembering. :)

       Life has been quite easy for us, and this is because of the values that we have, we have peae because we respect one another, but some say that those valueshad vanished or is vanishing as time passses by. But  do I really believe that those values that kept my world, our world going for the past thousand years is now gone?
        No, I think our values did not vanished  but instead, it changed, it goes with the flow. We  still respect each other but in other ways, we still work together, vendors and costumers can still work things out. Teachers are still respected by the students , elders are still respected and loved by the younger ones I think ourvalues will never vanish, cause if it did then the streets would be a war zone. There would not be any shelter for the needy. There will be chaos , No one can imagine the world withoit values because our world will always be made by the people living. The love and care that they give to one another and most importantly the values that we treasure from the earlier years.
         So, never be worried about what you hear that values had vanished,as you always remember that our life is made by the values that we have and life and values will go up and down together.

                                         My teacher, My Hero
       What is a hero? Heroes for me are not those make believe characters who wear fancy costumes and fight evil to save us from evil. A hero for me is not necessarily having superpowers . My example of a hero is my teacher. I have spent half of my life at school and my teachers. I know some of my teachers from the lower grades don’t remember me anymore but I don’t really blame them for that. There are a lot of students they are teaching I often wonder how they can manage having so many children around with different attitudes.
      I have met this teacher once whom I can say really touched my life. I was not her favourite student and to be honest , I don’t like her. I hate the subject that she teaches and she talks so fast that I could not understand. She was the first teacher who scolded me in front of my class mates, the first teacher who humiliated me in front of the whole class but I have nothing to complain. I know she did that because she wanted me to learn and to have the interest to know more. She saved me from my logic about education. Though she has no powers, she’s more likely a hero to me before and that’s what I like about her the most. That’s why I really honor the excellence of every teacher in this planet.
        So my fellow students, let us thank our teachers for teaching us not just to write, read or to solve math but let us thank them for letting us be part of their life most importantly, let us thanks them because they are the ones who prepares us for the real world.
      THANK YOU TEACHERS.

                      Deconstruction of Thank You Ma’am
                                     Opening the mind of people is what the story “Thank You Ma’am “ is all about , opening the mind of people that disciplining a child is not just hitting them. That it can also be done by having conservations and examples to the kid. I think by doing this, all of us can raise a world of peace. The story is an eye opener for all of us and it’s a good story for me to read . The story is also nice and I like it because I can really relate to it. We all experienced how to be a seven year-old and want things we could not get though I have cried I have never experienced stealing one’s pocketbook just to get money. I did experienced stealing from my mother’s purse and I remember ed my father paddling me whenever he caught me. But I would still go and steal but when my mother caught me she did not do anything to hurt me. But she told me that if I won’t stop stealing money from them, she will be imprisoned. And from that time on I would just ask my mother for money if I need some. And I think what my mother did was quite similar to what Mrs. Jones did. She taught the boy a valuable lesson. She did not let the boy to be locked in jai maybe because she knew he would not learn a lesson from those who are inside the prison, instead she gave gave the boy the money he needed to buy the blue suede shoes. Now you don’t get to meet people like Mrs. Jones nowadays. But I really believe that people like Mrs. Jones are he people that should be followed because they showed good example to all of us.
                                Other people may think that what Mrs. Jones did was immoral but I think she was setting an example. I believe that should be follow. It may not be reasonable but if we just widen our mind to what the writer is trying to tell us, we will understand why Mrs. Jones preferred to show affection to the boy than to hurt or pout him to prison.
