Reflection

     I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due. Yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge…

    

     We are crossing to the finals of our secondary level. We are marching towards the fourth grading period. We have already accomplished the requirements given to us. We have already taken difficult quizzes and periodical exams. We have been scolded by our teacher for being naughty. We have been in distress and misfortunes. But we’ve been also through heaven-sent moments. All of these experiences are worth it. All of the memories of our four years in this school won’t vanish.

     Fourth grading period can be either difficult or easy. Yet we must do our best and best and best to make our grades in the best level! Our periodical exam will be earlier so, we must review. There are many lessons to be discussed like (-_-)  ZzZzzZZz…

     Now let’s cherish the remaining days. Let’s enjoy while we are still together. Let’s tear down hate in our hearts. Don’t allow your heart to become SMALL and BITTER, rather, you must SHARE IT.

My Dream, My Future

     “Live Your Values, Pursue Your Dreams, And Follow Your Passions”.

     This really implies the true ways we must do to have the best future life we could possibly have. Do you pay attention in how fast time goes by? Before we realize, time has passed by and all the dreams we had for our future have not yet come true. The reason is because our dreams are just dreams and haven’t yet become goals. Life is no Nintendo game. You live only once. Therefore, we must fulfill those precious one called Dream during the rest of our short Life.

     As for me, I have my own dreams too. If you ask me this in my childhood, I would say, “I want to be a nurse… I want to be an architect… and so on…”. But if you ask me now, I will tell you I have three major dreams. First, I want to graduate in this school with the Best grades ever! So, my parents can be proud of me. Second, I want my life to be colorful and beatific. Enjoying life doesn't waste money; we should use many to do some significant things. For instance, we can contribute our money to help the poor and homeless children, we can travel to somewhere to see the nature scene, we can buy book or collect your interested things to enrich our life, and we also can have time to play with your family. Third, I want to become a doctor so that I can help my love ones to cure their sicknesses. In the future I may have new dreams, but the first goal I have to achieve is getting my diploma. This is one of the keys to accomplish my other goals and dreams. After becoming a professional, I want to start a family, one caring husband and maybe three children and have one beautiful cozy home to raise my kids and grow old with the people I love the most.

Change: It Starts With Me

Change: It Starts With Me

     The problems of our country are many and of incredible magnitude. These problems are not of recent origin instead, they stemmed from many years of neglect and indifference. Will we able to redeem from the slaughter house of chaos?

     I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, hopeless and retreat, for they are the words of fools. I will toil and I will endure to bring change to our beloved country. I will persist until I succeed because change starts within me.

     I will plant the seed of tomorrow’s success and my harvest will be full. Each misfortune I encounter, I will carry in it the tomorrow’s good luck. I will build my castle one brick at a time for I know that the small attempts, repeated will complete any undertaking.

     We are all responsible for the good of our country. We must sacrifice and do our parts. We must push change and reform. Let us campaign the change our country needs and let us bring justice to the innocents. We must perform and pray.
