Bittersweet

    a bittersweet, ups and downs, rainbows and storms, sunshine and rain.



As I woke up on the 29th day of August 2023, it didn't sink in that I am already in Grade 10, that I  am already an "Ate" to my fellow students who are in Grades 9, 8, and 7 lastly what I thought more is that some my classmate back in Grade 9, will not be my classmate this school year anymore. Honestly, I had a hard time adjusting to my new environment, it was cold like there was an ice barrier between all of us. 




I remember back then my first week of Grade 10, I was so afraid to recite on our different subjects, thinking that my answer was wrong but it was the right one. I have this subject named Basic Electronics, it is my first time to encounter this type of elective. Basic Electronics for others are merely wires, LEDs, Currents, Resistance, Voltage, and more. But actually, it is not. It is a subject that challenges me to do my very best, to understand the procedures for building a circuit, lighting the LEDs, using different resistors, decoding resistors, using digital multimeter, and more. 




Looking back, the concepts of this subject made me doubt my capabilities. I remember when I was shy asking how to light it up so I learned on my own how to light up the LED at my desk, I ended up crying because I could not get the procedures our subject teacher taught us. The day after that night, I set aside that shy thing and asked Zarah and Marie. I wanted to thank them for helping me when I was having a hard time lighting up the LEDs using different ways. Those two, made me strive for a better, to not give up when the LED is acting up or not lighting up. After that, I started to listen more attentively, writing what our teacher was saying and analyzing it the way I can analyze it to the max. When there were quizzes, I reviewed my notes on my desk until I dozed up and would write the notes I remembered on a sheet of paper until I was satisfied with the knowledge inside my mind about a certain topic. 

You see, my Quarter 1 in Grade 10 is just like a resistor, it is not perfect. Though moments like this of a student are normal, we all have ups and downs, rainbows and storms, sunshine and rain. Learn to ask sometimes, it is for the better. Make your fears turn into your most powerful weapon.

Even before and still now that I am graduating from junior high school, they often ask “What will you take in college?” Before, that was one of the easy questions I could answer right away but now that I’ve learned and explored new things, that question is one of the hardest ones to answer. After lying down on my bed, I started to wonder and ask myself, “What am I doing a decade from now? am I treating the patients that have different diseases in the hospital or still studying?”   I see myself treating the patients. I see myself being in front of thick books, trying to memorize the different terms needed and also their meanings until dawn. after being content with what I already have in mind, I’ll sleep for hours and wake up to go to school. Going back, I dreamed of being one of the doctors who would treat everyone. I grew up being exposed to the medical field, because of my mother who is currently in this field, she always brought me to her workplace when I was young — the hospita...

Viva La Vida

As the clock's arms restart... Another Year has come to our lives again, people often think of having their own New Year's resolution. Some people use their New Year's resolution as a base on how their life would be this year. Like if they fail to fulfill their resolution/s it would bring bad luck to their life, and vice versa. But whatever it is, Life will go on, whether you fulfill those or not, and that's the reality. “Run for your dream”  We all have dreams, they can be small or big. Dreams that may be hard to achieve but, for sure someday it will be worth it. This song fuels my determination to pursue my aspirations, assuring me that by running on the path that I chose, I can indeed achieve them by time. In navigating your journey and overcoming obstacles, refrain from lingering on the sources of your pain. Keep in mind that ahead of you lies a path with more light than darkness. “‘cause there ain’t no need to hurry, no one ever said that there’s an easy way” Life ...

EstudyantePRENUER was held last February 19, 2024. According to the officers of the club, the purpose of the event was to showcase the skills and talents of the TLE students, where Technology and Livelihood Education has 4 specializations which are: home economics, ICT, industrial arts, and agriculture. Once we stepped into the TLE booth, the banderillas swayed with the wind, and the students and teachers welcomed us with smiles on their faces. They have different sections where I learned new and exciting things. The first stop was the food area. Here, they sell delicious foods, what’s TLE without cookery anyway? They sell pipian, lumpia, miki, mais con yell, and many more.  Moreover, they also have a booth for technology, wherein they print and laminate, they also have repair services and a film viewing. Their love for their work amazed and inspired me. Each area was set up with care, with the teachers and students showing their work while clarifying the different concepts behind ...
