Owner of the Mighty Pen :)


Pen is Mightier than the Sword

He was an example. He proved that the pen was mightier than the sword. And I think that’s why he was considered more of a hero than Bonifacio was, because he used good force and he used his brain. He proved it. He fought with his mind. A lot of books are based on his influences. He’s brave, and I think that’s what a lot of people should do. What I loved about him was the way he died, which was very commendable and very brave of him. He knew he was going to die, yet he faced it, literally.
          If I were to meet him, it would be a great honor. Seriously, the first thing I will do is to thank him. He is the reason why we have a peaceful country and have a progressive one. I want to talk to him about the effects of his sacrifices and I will tell him that he inspires every one of us to be industrious enough to take care of what he has done.
Rizal is important especially to the youth because his life was full of values that we need to have. His dreams and philosophies could be our inspiration to achieve our goals. The youth today have become rebellious, like Simon in El Filibusterismo, and in this kind of situation, we need to keep in mind the works and ideals of Rizal and prove that the youth is indeed the hope of this nation.

My top 5 Sins as a Student (5SS)

       
My top 5 Sins as a Student (5SS)


 We always say that this time, in school as a good student, we will do our best to avoid sins and stay away from trouble as much as we could. But unfortunately, we could not avoid these sins we commit. Here are just some of the six sins we commit at school. 

Number 1: Laziness 
    There are many causes for laziness, but I think one of the biggest causes of student laziness isn't laziness at all. I used to be called lazy a lot in school and it was never a matter of being 
Lazy, it was more because I struggled with the understanding and the teachers would put me down so much that I felt stupid asking questions. When you hear over and over that the answer should be easy but it isn't you eventually just give up. It's not because you're lazy at all.
Number 2: Cramming 2 the Max
     In education, cramming is the practice of working intensively to absorb large volumes of informational material in short amounts of time. It is often done by students in preparation for upcoming exams, especially at the last minute. Cramming is often discouraged by educators because the hurried coverage of material tends to result in poor long-term retention of material.
Number 3: I am not Obedient
      As a student, I admit that I belong to the not obedient ones. Why? Simply because sir Tom gives the rule of respecting your own school uniform. He gives commands on not to roll up the sleeves because it is a disgrace. And what do I do? I still roll up my sleeves because I could not bear the hotness. I know I did the bad thing so I am trying to change.
        I always get my punishment. For the boys, it’s the haircut that matters but for girls like me, this is the one that matters. Sir Tom always scolds me whenever he sees I roll my sleeves up. I promise not to repeat but as a naughty student, sometimes I still do it so I feel guilty. There’s just the Hades side in my head that persuades me to do the wrong thing.
Number 4: I'm always late
     When students come to class late, it can disrupt the flow of a lecture or discussion, distract other students, impede learning, and generally erode class morale. Moreover, if left unchecked, lateness can become chronic and spread throughout the class. Because there are a number of possible reasons students arrive to class late, considering which causes are at the root of the problem can help guide instructors to appropriate responses and strategies. Understanding the reasons, however, does not require tolerating the behavior.
Number 5: "Can I copy"
    I cannot avoid the fact that I could not understand the lesson myself. I know I can simply ask questions regarding the lesson but one need not to copy another classmate’s answer. Those devils coming out of their place and got inside my soul were so desperate, which makes me cram even more. Students like me are getting used to it so they get too lazy to answer on their own.
        One cannot simply determine the punishment at first but when a test comes, that’s also when you realized you still don’t understand the lesson. You only have grades in homework because of copying, and now, a test comes and you got to do nothing but guess for the answers.
