reflection..

Last week, we have learned about the TQLR (tuning in, questioning, listening and responding). We all have to tune in or to be attentive to the one who is talking in order for us to be able to question and respond about the topic he/she is talking about. We focus on the topic of the speaker so while waiting, we prepare questions related to the topic. We also have to listen to the speaker in order to find out the answers to our questions and lastly is to respond. In responding, you may comment to the speaker or you may add some ideas related to the topic of the speaker. We always have to use TQLR during discussions and also in seminars.
This week, we learned about a story entitled the "Everyday Use". In the African people, quilts are very important that it symbolizes the history of the African people and what the white people did to them. In the family of Mrs. Johnson, Dee and Maggie are her daughters. Maggie is a shy-type girl while Dee has a high-pride. Dee wants to have the quilt that her ancestors and her mother made to hang it in her apartment but this quilt was promised to be given to Maggie. So, why use it as a decoration if it is to be worn? We should always treasure and know the importance of every thing.

first day school..

On the first day of school. I was so excited to meet my classmates and friends. Going there, I was so happy and had fun meeting also our teachers.
As the days went by and the time came for us to wear our proper uniforms, I was disappointed seeing some students not in proper uniforms while other try to wear them properly. Some used white shirts that is not a blouse obviously or some wear their ids improperly like inverting them and hiding their picz. Others (naman) always try to wear their proper uniforms and it is good but it is still just fourth or half of the total population of MPGCHS.
In class, I enjoyed having our lessons. It was fun. But now, I'm easily bored but I think it's natural as time goes by. gakgakgakgak. (areng--sabay ganun..)

my goals in life..

From childhood, I dreamt of becoming a nurse someday. I was pushed to this ambition when I saw my mother sick one day when I was young and I didn't know what to do. So I chose being a nurse someday because I want that if ever my family would be sick or will have some illnesses someday, I would be the one to take care of them. In being a nurse, I would know what to do in taking care of them. Now, I am doing my best for me to be successful with this goals in life. In fulfilling these dreams, I always say 'go on..this is life..it will always prepare challenges for you..'. People say you should always be a positive thinker in order for you to go on with life; no doubts and others.
