THE LAST QUARTER: A YEAR IN REVIEW

     Junior days is quite difficult and stressful because of many different situations. I can't even count how many ups I had, but I can't deny that there were some downs that I was able to turn into ups. The year was jam-packed with difficulties, thrills, fears, and lessons. I had the same anxiety and heartbreak each time I went to school. My first day of the new school year was quite frustrating. Junior high school was not at all how I had pictured it to be. My first lesson involved an open and honest explanation of what a junior high school is. I am aware that finishing junior high school is difficult and occasionally stressful.

     I was able to solve a lot of issues and push myself in various ways. I was extremely sensitive at the start of the year; a negative encounter meant a horrible life to me. Later, I began to understand my role in school and why I am there. I also realized that being a student can be enjoyable. I adored all of the school's teachers because they were so encouraging. Dealing with various people is greatly improved by attending school. Early on, this world's many attitudes and beliefs were introduced to us. Our social intelligence growth, in my opinion, benefits from having teachers with many varied points of view.Even though their ideas, thoughts, and styles do not match mine, I learnt how to interact with people. Everything from the first class onward has been excellent for me since I can understand what our teacher is teaching us, particularly in the topic of ICT. I am quite grateful that our ICT teacher helped us with the entire HTML session because it allowed us to learn and explore more about HTML. But even though I struggled with some sections of the lecture, I'm doing my best to study them in order to get the lesson that our teacher is attempting to teach us. I'm at ease that the school year is about to finish, but I'll miss the memories, my friends, my classmates, and of course, my professors. This year was certainly memorable, I can say that much. 

      By the conclusion of the school year, I hope to still be able to name the people who helped me get here and who have supported me when I've felt overwhelmed and unable to continue. Overall, the year I spent in junior high school from the first quarter to the fourth quarter will always rank among my most memorable. As of right now, I'll make the most of every opportunity to cherish my friendship with my pals because there's a chance that one day we won't attend the same university. In the hopes of someday succeeding on my chosen route, I will miss all the memories and teachers from this school year. Being a grade 10 student is tiring yet i still have fun and enjoyed this year.

STRIVE FOR SUCCESS

     In ten years, I envision myself as a strong, independent, contented lady with a degree, working in a reputable organization, spending time with family, and most importantly, as a self-assured and prosperous individual. When I reflect on my life, I want to be able to feel happy with what I have accomplished. I want to keep developing myself and discovering new things. I want to be able to visit new locations and encounter various cultures. I've worked hard to achieve my objective for many years, and I'll keep working and studying hard in the future for my own enjoyment.

 

    I want to improve myself in my personal life so that I don't hold grudges or compete with others. I want to focus on becoming a strong-willed, composed person who is unaffected by other people's behavior and who doesn't care what other people think of me, my actions, my outlook on life, or my own life. I'm aware that I also possess some leadership skills, therefore I'll groom myself to bring out the best in me. For my siblings who are prepared to stick around and support me in what I enjoy doing, I want to set an example. I want to succeed in life so that I can make my parents happy and comfortable in the future and make them proud of me. But once I start working in my field, I won't lose sight of who I am; instead, I'll spend some time working toward the unfulfilled, secret aspirations I had. For the time being, my entire emphasis will be on achieving my objective and improving my talents. Success in life is what makes me happy, so if I don't succeed, I'll get back up and keep trying until I succeed. 

     In conclusion, I regard myself as a reputable person who will be the asset of the youngster. I'll make an effort to use all of my strength throughout the coming years to carry out all of my goals. I won't pass up any chances that could lead to the accomplishment of my objectives. I'll do everything in my power to be an indispensable asset to the organization I work for. Along with my parents, siblings, and others, I also want to change happiness and prosperity for myself. Being inspired and motivated is crucial in life, and I am grateful for my family, friends, and the people who have helped me achieve my goals.

CHANGE STARTS WITH YOU: CHANGE BEGINS WITH ME

     Change starts with ourself. As we grow older, change will develop us, as well as our growth, perception in life, hobbies, and many more. I believe that change starts with your own self. Our self is our own boss in life, we control our life through in what things we are most likely to be. That's why, for me change is difficult for me because of this. It is risky, slow to develop, and subject to criticism. And often, one's fear of others is what prevents them from moving forward with change. When it comes to change, we do experience some positive aspects.

   The hardest and most terrifying element of the process is the initial step since it leaves one up to risk. However, it also creates prospects for independence and immense freedom. Making the decision to bring about change is difficult, and continuing down that road by really putting forth the work is equally difficult and crucial, but as the saying goes, nothing worthwhile ever comes easily. Whether we like it or not, change occurs whether or not we take action to stop it. Tomorrow will not be the same as today. We can fight back, but it's kind of like trying to hold back water in a torrent; it won't help. We can either actively participate in and lead change or choose to observe it happen passively around us. Those with a fixed attitude frequently quit up before they even begin because they view challenging challenges as a pain in the butt. Change is welcomed by individuals with a growth mindset while it is resisted by those with a fixed perspective.

   From the most basic to the most complicated levels, changes are occurring. While we can manage and influence certain changes, the majority are realistically out of our hands. Statistics show that only few of us will make a significant contribution to world history. Additionally, by altering myself, I might have a bigger, better effect on the world. If we start with ourselves, we can drive change and improve the world. I can provide more to my family, my community, and my industry if I learn to be a better partner, father, business owner, leader, salesperson, philanthropist, coach, and volunteer. I might be able to have a beneficial impact on others by welcoming positive change into my life and by starting that transformation.

Mom's Love Knows No Bounds: Our heart and Home (draft #2)

  To honor motherhood and remember a mother's love and care, Mother's Day is observed. Nowadays, Mother's Day is observed on different dates around the world by various ethnic and linguistic groups but, it has evolved into more of a showoff and display of opulence. Most celebrations take place in the months of March or May. It is our obligation to care for, respect, and love our mothers. The purpose of Mother's Day is to show our mothers how much we love and appreciate them. Even though it is observed annually on the second Sunday in May, Mother's Day should be observed every day to make our mothers feel special.

A child's mother is the first person they look for when they get home. From their conception till her death, she cares for her children. We are unable to even begin to tally the countless ways they enrich our lives or the sheer volume of work they complete each day. Even though they are exhausted, mothers continue to carry out all of their daily tasks and responsibilities. They show us so much affection and treat us so well, yet they never ask anything in return. But we can give our mothers a hearty thank you for everything they do for us. It is important to honor and obey our mothers because Mothers are responsible for molding their children's personalities and character. Every mother contributes significantly to the growth and development of her children. She takes care of all of her child's requirements. The mother is a child's first teacher. She adores her kids and will always be there for them in times of need, guiding them through thick and thin. It is a mother who forbids her children from doing wrong and counsels them when they have a propensity to go the wrong turn. A mother is said to as a child's first teacher since she corrects them and leads them in the proper direction.

Children and their moms see the mother-child relationship as one of the most precious relationships in the world. We should make every day as special as Mother's Day to show our mothers how much we care about them because only one day does not suffice to celebrate parenthood. Every small thing our mothers do for us on a daily basis deserves our gratitude. The love and respect of her children might be the most precious gifts to a mother. So let's make a commitment to brighten and make each day for our mothers wonderful. Every Mother on the entire world deserves to be greeted and love by their children.

Workers are the Foundation, the Strength of the Nation: International Labor Day (draft #1)

     The celebration of Labor Day honors the social and economic accomplishments of Filipino workers. It serves as a yearly national acknowledgement of the contributions made by workers to the health, wealth, and welfare of our nation. The purpose of Labor Day is to recognize the labor class's efforts and accomplishments. In many nations, it is observed on different days. However, International Workers' Day is observed on May 1st in the majority of the world's nations. The purpose of the holiday celebration, however, is still to honor the labor class's perseverance.

     Labor is the most important factor of production. A nation having plenty of rich land but no labour force, cannot attain any economic development or prosperity. Agriculture, industries, mining, transport system, trade activities, and many more, all require sufficient and efficient workers for proper functioning. It is significant for us students to encourage the Hardworking workers who are dedicated to strive and work hard for their lives. Celebrating a very significant holiday will alwys treasure the workers who had work hard. Labour Day is a critical day because it also teaches us about the dignity of labour. No work is disrespectful, and we must acknowledge and celebrate every profession. From a sweeper to a farmer, for instance, every business contributes to our well-being in some manner, and we should show our appreciation to those who work so hard to provide us with the services we require. Labor Day was historically also a symbol of defiance against the capitalists' abuse and exploitation of the working class. The day gives us the motivation to stand up for our rights. As a result, it is a significant occasion that we should recognize with humility and joy.

     To sum up, Labor Day is a day when workers are recognized for their commitment, tenacity, and willingness to toil and labor. We are aware that the worker sells his own labor in order to make the minimal wage. It is for this reason that International Labor Day is observed globally. Therefore, the purpose of this day is to support and encourage global labor unions. Because they merit it, today is a unique occasion to honor and recognize their contributions to society.

It brought me a lot of learning's and perceptions. All the things I learned is never be forgotten and will always remain in my mind and heart. And absolutely, this is the subject for me. 

THE PERIOD OF RELIGIOUS HOLIDAY: LENTEN SEASON draft #5

     In my observation, most christians see the Lenten season as an opportunity to fast between meals or give up an item that we usually eat. However, the fundamental and original purpose of Lent was to place ourselves in the shoes of Jesus Christ, our Savior. He was without sustenance for forty days in the desert. The devil offered him various temptations. For the atonement of our sins, Christ gave up his life on the cross. We should push ourselves during these forty days building up to Christ's resurrection to cease doing something or devote yourself to something different from the norm. Many people don't enjoy fasting during Lent and I quickly think of childhood experiences like giving up candy or sitting through daily Stations of the Cross. It is common practice to use words like "sacrifice," "discipline," and "self-denial" in ways that imply Lent is something to be endured rather than a season of grace and spiritual development.

     My parents encourage my siblings and I to make a lenten commitment to a certain project. They urge my siblings and I to take advantage of this holiday season to provide joy and love to as many people as we can. Although me and my family didn't go out for "Bisita Iglesia" or visiting other churches, we still pray for the sacrifices that God gave to us. Spreading joy and gratitude by making people happy has a greater positive influence than you might imagine. We commemorated how Jesus gave his life so that we may be together. He was harmed both physically and mentally throughout his life. We can all enjoy the forthcoming Lenten season together today because of this. Sacrifice is also a part of Lent. We have the chance to give up something important to us during this season. When I was younger, I would give up things that would be the simplest to quit, such foods I never ate. I've since learnt that I should stop doing some things that are a part of my daily routine. Maybe some of us should cut back on our time spent watching TV or using our phones. Even though our tiny sacrifices could never compare to God's ultimate sacrifice, we should challenge ourselves by making sacrifices as Jesus did for us. For example, perhaps improving your relationship with your parents or a sibling. 

     We can all be courteous and welcoming to one another throughout Lent. Jesus did not go through all that suffering for us to dislike one another. All of us students have the capacity to get to know a fellow student with whom we have never had the opportunity to interact. You all have the power to welcome someone into our community. We should and can use the days before Easter to strengthen our bonds with our peers and get ready for the Easter celebration of Christ's resurrection. We must keep in mind the purpose as we draw nearer to God. We build up to Christ's ultimate passion and crucifixion. A greater sacrifice has never been made than this. We are reminded as we begin this Lenten season that Jesus instructed his disciples on prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. We follow the example he set for his students and use his teachings to make our own sacrifices and show him respect.
