Questions:
a. What lessons have you learned from your past experiences, if any?
b. How do you make a relationship work?
c. What advice can you give to people?



Having a relationship with another sex is not easy. The two of you should learn how to give and take, with this your relationship will grow.


In my past relationship, I have learned that one should not expect a very happy relationship because there is always trials and challenges. To be able to make a relationship work, understanding each other is a must, both of you should also need to trust each other. As for now my advice to the people who wants to enter a relationship, you should know how to balance your time, you should not forget that there are also other people that you have a commitment with.
You should also love not expecting anything in return.

Peer Pressure

I already experience that when I was in highschool. There is a guy who happened to court me, at first I dont like him, but as the days goes by.. my friends are trying to convince me and I was perssured with it. I answered that guy, but or relationship did not last for long. I broke up with him because I realized that I Liked someone else.

In that scenario, I felt disappointed bout myself because I let some of my friends rule over my life. I felt sympathy to the guy, because he might think that I just played with him. But I told him the truth.

After that experience, I realized that I should not always do what my friends had told me, i need to think twice before doing so.. and I should consider other factors like, my feelings and the feelings of other people.

Questions:
a. What challenge did you take?
b. Were you able to do the challenge? How do you feel about it?
c. What have you realized/learned from your experience?

The challenge that I took was returning excess change. Actually that challenge was a little hard because at the back of my mind someones telling me that I dont need to return the change,since it was the mistake of the vendor. But I still return the change and after that I felt comfortable. While I was reminiscing what I did, I realize that every person can practice honesty in any scenario that they may encounter. Thus, one must be aware that telling the truth(being honest) is a noble thing to do and who knows one can be rewarded with this good deed.

Beautifully stated qoutation...

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.

You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time..
You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.

You'll fight with your best friend.

You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.
You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

'Don't be afraid that your life will end,be afraid that it will never begin.'

Questions:
a. The most striking scene in the movie
b. Your feelings and emotions while watching the movie
c. Your realization after watching the movie
d. The specific actions you can commit to take care of the environment

The scene that strikes me most is when the people and animals are suffering in the scenario that is happening because of the drought. while i was watching the movie, i felt sad and disappointed because of what is happening to our earth. I was surprised with the possible things that would happen if our ozone layer will continue to deplete. I hope that the people will realize the importance of taking care to our environment as Mr. Al Gore did.

I realized that every little thing that people is doing, is also affecting other people and the environment. I also realized that the our environment means a lot to us people becase it serves as our home. One specific action that i could surely do is not to smoke.Another thing is that I would try to be engage in some activities at our scholl that could help the environment,like planting trees, et al.

Highschool Life ===> College Life

Whoaahh... Highschool life is really different from college life... How i wish that i could go back in time where i was a child and doesn't have any problem except when i want to stay late playing with my friends. . . . or be a highschool student again and think about the cute guyz that i can see along way, and have party with my friends. . . I really miss all those things. . .

Now i am already a college student. A new journey is coming. I can now feel the pressure and the disappointments. I thought college life is easy but it's not. There are some expectation that i should meet. There are lot of works, projects, homework,etc. Sometimes I just want to stop studying but my mind is changing when i can remember what happened to my other cousins. Some of them marry at a young age and have children. They doesn't have a good life, sometimes they just borrow money to my parents and to my aunts. I dont want that to happen to me, I just want to have a simple life with my family and I don't want to experience being hungry, or being uneducated to some things. . . I want to have a good life.

Questions:
a. What challenge did you take?
b. Were you able to beat the challenge? How do you feel about it?
c. What have you realized/learned from your experience?

The challenge that I take was having a highscore in one of our courses. Actually, I feel glad after this challenge because I did not expect that I will get a high score and I got perfect. I really beat the challenge and I hope that I would do the same thing to other courses.

After this experience, I realized that I'm also good and other courses and I could also commit mistake. Honestly, before this experience happened, I was really disappointed to myself because I got Low scores in my Algebra course, I was ashamed to myself that time. I was really sad. I had many problems that time and I thought the world was against me, but suddenly, when we got that assessment exercise in Humanities, my feelings became well. And what I thought about my failures became less.

!!TriaLs!!wahh!!

In our life challenges is always on the run. We encounter different trials and problems that are not easy solve and get along with. We tend to do things that are not pleasing to other people and some people feels the same way to you.
In our values education course, I realized that not all people are capable of doing the things that he/she wants to do... in short "nobody is perfect". We need to respect other people as we want others to respect ourselves. We should be aware about the feelings of other people nd have some limitation on what we are going to tell them.
I ,for myself, also encountered this scenario wherein I felt very down because I had commited some mistakes and I felt disappointment to myself. But my friends still respect me and they comfort me. After that I felt good and happy.

^_^

Lately I feel contented with my life. I’m happy with my new friends , and with my old friends who still supports me. I’m also happy with my family. I have a good relationship with my mother, she also knew about my bf and I’m glad she’s not angry. But unfortunately, my father did not know about my bf, I’m going to tell him when he arrives on December. I hope my father will not get angry.
