YFC

I told myself that if I will join the leadership training, I will also join in the Youth Camp. So at lunch time of the day of our Math Festival, I went home and I got clothes for the camp. It was held in our school after the Math Festival, November 27, until the next day.

It was unplanned and I just let things happen. I enjoyed everything. I had a chance to be with my other schoolmates especially seniors better and of course to know God better. I realized and learned many things. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to attend the Youth Camp and be a YFC (Youth For Christ).

Math Festival

After the leadership training I attended, I proceed to our school for our Math Festival on the same day the seminar ended. I was a facilitator in the contest of Rubik’s Cube.

As I arrived in our school, I placed my things first in our room then I looked for Carisse. I asked for my shirt with our club’s name. She told me that it was with Ate Karissa, our president. So I went to Math Center and there I got my shirt. It was very small but good thing it fits me. I just changed there since I don’t have much time thinking that the contest where I should facilitate will start at any time at that moment. I went to LRC after that. The contest where I was assigned will be held there. I helped first in Sudoku before facilitating in Rubik’s. In the afternoon, the Mr. And Ms. Mathaba was held. The festival was ended after the awarding. It was a very tiring day but I had fun.

Mirachel

Do you know her? If you are studying or if you studied in Tanza Elementary School, school year 2002 until 2009, you’ll know her. She is good in Math…like me? I knew her because we were both contestants in Math in our former school. We became close because of that. She is now a freshman in Tanza National Comprehensive High School. Before, I hoped that she’ll be with me, we’ll be schoolmates, and I even dreamt of seeing her in our school but she didn’t take the entrance exam in our school. She is really a good friend of mine and like a younger sister to me.

Maybe you are now wondering why I mentioned her. It was because I just met her in the leadership training I attended. I thought that only Kuya Ian will make me happy in that seminar but unexpectedly, she made me happy, too. I was expecting for my former classmates to be there. I was shocked when someone called me when I was in the canteen one time. At first, I didn’t notice her but then when I realized that it was really her I forgot at that very moment that I was with my schoolmates. We were supposed to eat dinner but it was interrupted when I met Mirachel. They will also buy food for dinner when I met her so after a few seconds we left each other.

We spent time with each other on the last night of the training. The program that evening finished very late since they chose to not have program anymore on the next day. They wanted us to go home early so they finished everything that night. But since that was our last night, we chose to stay out late and if we can, we will not sleep. We stayed in the middle of the field. It was really not a field with grasses. It was just an open ground. We sat everywhere, looked at the sky with the stars, talked about anything and fell asleep together. I was really happy to see and be with her again after the past two years or more. I hope that we’ll have time for each other next time.

SSG

Who can tell that I am a member of the Supreme Student Government in our school? No one… First, I really don’t know if there’s such thing as “member of SSG”. But whenever they are having their meeting, they include us and called us “member” so that’s what we consider ourselves. Another thing, even I, myself, can’t and don’t consider me as a member of SSG since for me I can say that I haven’t done anything important. I also don’t know if I can say that I participated in some of the projects of SSG because for me I only did a little help. As in so little that I can’t recognize it. But you know what? It was not all my fault. There were times that they didn’t inform us properly. They will just tell it to others and we’ll just know about it when it was done. So what happens is that I wasn’t able to participate in their activity.

Then one day, it was unexpected that they informed us that we, members, can join in a leadership training to be held on the next day after they informed us. It was three-day training, from November 25-27. It was unexpected because at first, we know that only SSG officers can join and on the day before the start of the seminar, they allowed us to join. I was excited when I knew that I can join but I still took a long time before I decided to join. My first reason for not joining was because there will also be other activities after that seminar. We’ll be having Math Festival on 27 and Youth Camp after the festival until on the next day. It may be too tiring for me if I will attend all. But since I also thought that maybe this was the opportunity for me to participate and be active in SSG, I said “yes” and joined in the training.

It was held in Bucal National High School, Maragondon. Kuya Al Ian Barcelona went in that leadership training and his presence made me really excited. The first time I met him was when I attended the YES Camp in Baguio. He is really a good speaker. I was not disappointed because I learned many new things from the seminar. I met new friends and also my old friends. I also had a chance to know the other officers and members of SSG in our school better. It was a really nice and unforgettable experience.

Confused

These past few days, I had been thinking of many things. There are chores at home which I really don’t know if my help was enough. There are also assignments and projects for school. I need to do many things in our house and at school. Another problem was the schedule of the Math Festival which will be conducted by the CALGEOTRIST Society. I am a school level officer of that club so I need to be updated about the program that will be held. This week, we thought we were having the Math Festival. It was supposed to be on Friday. We had a meeting but it seemed to be that it will not be on Friday. They did not make it clear when the festival will be. We made some of the decorations. I seemed to be crazy this week because of being very confused of the things I should do first. All I want is for this week to end. I hope that I will be able to accomplish everything I should do. Good luck to me.

Sick of Being Sick

I have colds and cough again this week. I don’t know how come I got sick again. My father almost got angry to me because at first, I can’t find the name of the medicine given to me before. We were supposed to leave the house to go to school when he asked me about my medicine. I asked if I can just buy when I get home in the afternoon since I still need to look for the name of my other medicine but he told me to buy in a pharmacy near our school. So we all looked for it. I know that I kept it but I forgot where. Good thing after a few minutes we finally found it. In school, I asked someone to accompany me in buying my medicine outside our school. I told him that I am really tired and sick of having colds and cough. I don’t want to hear my father asking me if I already drink my medicine. He was always asking that every time I cough.

Review in Math

After the P.T., we had our review in Math again. Every morning, we were going to the academic building. We went to Mrs. Javier to ask for our exercises.

That was my life for this week. The whole day, we stayed in the Math Center, answering the exercises given to us. If we had free time, we were playing anything we could play. Every recess time, I went to our room and ask my classmates about the things they did. Sometimes, I ate lunch with them.

On the last day of this week, I heard that on next week we are not excused anymore. They said that our contest was moved to January. It means that on next week, we will attend the classes. After the classes on that day, I asked everything I should do for next week. I was really stressed because of thinking many things. I hope that next week will not be very busy.
