Conserve a wealth

 

The environment is the only fortune that everyone had in common. It is our duty and responsibility to preserve and protect to maintain its beauty. However, these past few years, the environment developed problems that worsen its state. Climate change, deforestation, pollution, overpopulation, loss of biodiversity, waste disposal and etc. are some of the biggest problems that people had created. It all boils down to our behavior and how we protect the environment which we failed to do so.

Environmental protection should be practiced by individuals to lessen the possibility of creating another environmental problem. This practice would be great to perform with the whole community to make a lifestyle more conscious on the environment.

 Environmental protection is about protecting and conserving the natural environment. Therefore, this practice requires to do things that can help to protect the environment such as recycling. Recycling is the simplest thing to do that can give a great benefit to both environment and to the human life. This can lessen garbage and can prevent from consuming more. Whenever there is recycling, there also should be reusing. Reusing has a lot of advantages that can make a lifestyle more environmentally conscious such as, conserving resources, saves money and can prevent pollution.

Moreover, planting a tree is a great example of environmental protection. Trees can provide food and especially, oxygen. Also, it can save energy, can be a habitat for animal species and can reduce stress.

With these practices, it can save and protect the environment and it will be more effective if the whole community will engage with these kinds of practices. So, to make the environmental protection more efficient, the first step that person could do is to volunteer. Volunteer in leading cleanup drives and educating the whole community to practice in protecting the environment. After that, the whole community would be aware about the state of our environment and would start to practice environmental protection.

The aim for these practices is to protect and save the environment by engaging the community in leading an environmentally conscious lifestyle. To be able to make this happen is to unite people and educate them in this aspect.

A room for my Mistakes

    

  First Quarter is about to end, and a lot of things had happened. There were times that I had to push myself more to be productive and there were times I literally had to do nothing just to unwind and relax. This quarter had taught me to take my time and feel no pressure. Finishing tasks on time and not wasting my time in unnecessary things can prevent me from cramming. Also, I had realized that pressuring myself and thinking negative thoughts can affect my performance and mental health. Often times, I had to think possible outcomes or possible events that might happen in the future if everything that I'm planning won't happen. Due to the current situation, it's inevitable to not engage this kinds of thoughts, but I had learned to let it go and just go with the flow. Thinking of what will happen in the future will just be nothing but wasting your present.

   

     I had encountered difficulties, which were unable to learn the lesson after repetition of reading the specific lesson, had to continue the unfinished tasks amidst chaos inside our home and had to in the middle of doing nothing while engaging unnecessary feelings. I felt frustrated with these difficulties and led me to self-pitying.

    Thus, to be able to overcome these difficulties, I had to take a break and unwind. I realized that engaging these kinds of difficulties will indeed give me nothing but unhealthy mental health. I had to stop and let all the negative emotions go, with these emotions, I will not be able to continue. I had to fix my mental health and communicate with the people who are close to me. It helped me to overcome these problems and made me well again. 

    Moving on, I will do better and keep on striving. Failures and downfalls are inescapable, it will appear in the middle of my journey and it will surely test me. It's not easy to subdue these challenges but it will shape and improve me to become a better version of myself. I will be stronger and wiser this time.

Quality of education amid pandemic

the system of education amid pandemic had changed and it was beyond different from the traditional way of classes. since online class and modular had been executed, students were disunited and had to stay at home. it was indeed  difficult to cope up a new system that is totally different from what students experienced before the pandemic.

today's education is not the process of gaining information and knowledges, most of the students felt like it is a cycle of finishing tasks and activities to pass and have high grades. it is a responsibility that students should do  despite the situation. the true essence of education had long gone because of the virtual classes. many students can't access online due to lack of internet connection and gadgets that are needed. online classes is efficient to those who are privilege. 

moreover, conflicts and misunderstandings inside the home can affect  a student's  mental health. due to that, performing all the tasks that should be done can be delayed and even more worst, can let a student's hope and motivation to finish school will be lose. also, not every student is a fast leaners, reading the concept notes is not enough for them to understand the topic.

education amid pandemic can be a good idea but it is only for those who are privilege. a lot of students can't afford gadgets and can't study alone. inability to focus, students being diverge to fellow students and developing physical and mental problems are what a student can get from the new system of education.

Letter to Mr. President

 

Dear Mr. President,

The Filipino people are concern on issues and social injustices that our country is currently facing. I do have a lot of concerns too and I hope you’ll lend me your time and hear me out.  These concerns are getting out of control and my fellow Filipino people are suffering from it. Your people are in a situation that no one ever wanted to be in and I hope it concern you somehow.

When the corona virus was discovered in China, why did you choose to not cancel flights from that country? The virus had entered and it created chaos and destruction in the country. Poverty rate had increased more than the past few years and the Government was expected to help the Filipino people yet, corruption was also the issue. Your fellow Government official had been stealing money that are meant for the people, were you even concern? You weren’t because you’re also one of them. Please do focus on the ceaseless alarming issues rather than fighting with your fellow government official. The Philippines is one of the country that haven't open their schools yet, you have mentioned how you care for the youth, so please be alarmed by the fact you are being neglectful of your duty. We heard enough of your promises, please do act and bring your promises into reality.

I hope that the current situation of the country will be an eye opener for you to make good decision even in your last term. May you realize the unpropitious decision you had implemented and be able to feel guilty somehow. The Philippines’ state was never in the good situation and progress was never in your vocabulary. This country’s Government was never the best  and I thank you for resigning because your leadership showed how growth is being refused. Issues were never lessened and you, the president yourself, was the cause of these unsolved issues. 

With deep concern,

Aaliyah

Consoling Breeze

A soft and gentle blow of a wind can console ones loneliness. It can be a gale or a sweet breeze at times. It blows the negativity away and lifts to leave the situation where despair and misery exist. It can be also  a raging storm that can make a person feel madness and rage. I am a breeze, I don’t want to be seen but I want people to feel my warmth and calm presence.

I love peace and silence to the point that I can stay in my room all day long and never associate myself with crowd. Most of the time, I am mistaken as snobbish and unapproachable person but those are way too far to the real me. My hobbies are to read books and entertain myself by watching k-pop. I am not physically active and I don’t want to engage any physical activities. When it comes to the people that are close to my heart, I tend to be soft and caring. I value these people so much and I don’t want them to feel anything but my love and care for them. I am no saint, I have bad attitudes and hold grudges to people but often, I choose to forgive and leave the gloomy feeling.

The future is something that we create plans for, though it is nothing but a mystery. I have dreams to achieve in the future. When I’ll go to college, I’ll take accountancy and will have the degree. I’ll be an accountant and I’ll spoil my parents with things and experiences they never got to experience and have. Traveling the world is also something that I am looking forward to do with my family and my future someone.
