Creating Changes

How hard is it to change the wrong attitude of a person? Maybe, it is not really hard. Just show him always the right thing to do until he'll do it too. I can say that since I did that already and I felt so much happiness when I became successful.
It started with my so much care for the environment. I grew up knowing my responsibilities in taking care of our environment. I may not know everything about it but I know I should save and protect it. I do not throw my garbage anywhere but just in a trash can. That 's why I hate seeing other people that do not throw their garbage properly. Before, I just keep that to myself. I thought that my concern will just be enough to save our environment. But as years passed, I learned that we should help each other. No one can save the environment by just himself or herself. We should be all in this together to be successful. I should spread my ideas to others. Do you know the movie "Pay it Forward"? A person did something nice to others, and then each one of them will also do something nice to another group of people. Like that, if I will be able to teach someone to love, save and protect our environment, they may do the same things to others next time. One example of my success to that was my classmate. Now, she's helping me to inform others to take care of our environment. My latest success was with my brother. The last time I saw him threw his garbage not properly, he said sorry and I hope that it will continue to a change.
I just hope that I can do more in the future. Now, I will just work hard to create more changes for our environment. But still, there is always a question in my mind. How about changing myself? It is hard but which will I do first. Some say that I should change myself first before changing others because how can I create change to them if I can't even change myself. But is it not being selfish if I will think of myself first than think for the future of others?

About Me

Are you like me?
Please, don't be
Because I am living with no direction
And just a dependent person

Sometimes trying to be independent
But same thing just happen
All I thought, I had changed
No, I just became worse

Do you know how I look at myself?
I'm always in a shelf
A book sometimes used by someone
But then, they will all be gone

Trying to do good and right things
Not to be famous or something
But to be just a simple human being
With a normal and peaceful living

I can understand what life really is
But can't it be just like this
Not competing or fighting
For things not necessary in my living

The Unhappy Ending

Do all "endings" mean that there will be no next? Actually,this does not really mean that something stopped or lasted. It was not an ending of a story, specifically a love story for it to be happy. It was just about a week that ended in an unhappy way.
Yes, it was my fault. I did not really become angry to someone as how it looked like. I was angry to myself. Usually,when you were given something, your reaction should be happy and thankful but I did not feel that. I know that I did not act in a right way and I did something wrong. I should even thank the person who gave me that something. Now I realized my mistake, I do not have enow courage to talk or just even look at that person. But I know that I should do something for us to be alright again.
Still, even if I was sorry for what happened I want to say that my reason for acting like that was because for me if I do not need a thing that much and I can live without it, there's no reason for me to have it. One more thing, was that a thing cannot be replaced as long as it is still useful. I know that the person just cares for me,did not do anything wrong and does not mean anything but just to make me happy. I hope that we will be alright soon.

Where is our room?

I thought that this week will be normal. Normal as in there will be five days of classes and I will just be tired because of studying for the assignments. But unexpected things happened. First we only had four days of classes this week because it was holiday on Friday, since it was Independence Day.
A bad news also came. We were required to transfer to another room because the room where we were staying is a laboratory which is said not to be occupied as a classroom. We were all shocked hen we knew about it. That happened on Wednesday. At the time we knew about it, we quickly fixed our things and prepared it to transfer to our new room. I have lots of books and notebooks. They were heavy. I got tired in transferring my things. At lunch, we ate in our former room for the last time. After eating, my classmates played a game where they really had fun. When we return to our new room, we started fixing our things again. While fixing our things, we found out that there was something missing. One of the sacks for our Earthwatch was not in our room. Mizpah and I decided to go back to our former room to search for it, but it was not there. We went there thrice but it was really not there. We also search in the whole campus and at last we found it. But when we looked at the things inside it, they were not complete. Now, it is a mystery of what happened to the other things inside the sack, and we need to solve it. Until now, there was still no update.
The last day of this week, Thursday, was a day full of fun. I came to school and walk through the pathway leading to the seniors' building. At the end of the pathway, I saw John Paul and before I reached him, he already pointed to somewhere else. When I looked the place he pointed, I realized that was a room. In my mind I laughed at myself. Good thing I was not embarrassed when they laughed at me because if that happen my whole day will be ruined and all day long I will be in bad mood. But at the end of the day, I didn't control my temper. I had a misunderstanding with my friend and I hope that we'll be alright soon.

My First Week as a Third Year High School Student

I arrived at school early. I was the earliest in our room. I came at school at with my other two schoolmates who were also third year students and the funny thing about us was we have different sections but our rooms are just beside each other. Each of us was the earliest among our classmates. After some time, we had our flag ceremony then I cleaned in our room. Our schedule was also given to us but we were not able to have our first subject since we did something. In most of our classes, our teachers assigned some requirements and asked for our names but there were also some who introduced the subject they're teaching.
The next day, I was not early anymore but it was alright because we don't have logbook yet. We just had our Diagnostic Tests in the morning while in the afternoon; we had the continuation of the Brigada Eskwela. At first, we all thought that we can go home in the afternoon as what was announced so we were disappointed when we knew that it will not happen anymore. The other day, almost the same thing happened in the morning but in the afternoon, we attended the elections and meetings of the clubs we want to join. I joined the CALGEOTRIST Society and Young Environmentalist Club.
We were whole day on Thursday. Again, I came early but this time, I was with Lara. We had regular classes but in some of our subjects, we only checked the Diagnostic Tests we answered. This day, we received the Girl Scouts of the Philippines uniform we ordered. We were all waiting for it since it is a new uniform. I was excited to wear it the next day. So on Friday, I had a new uniform. The pants were a bit long so I folded it. About our classes, we had some activities and during our Speech class we had a game. It was called word challenge but unfortunately, I didn't win. After lunch, we had an election for the officers of the Research Club. I was not even nominated in any position but it was alright. At 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., we had our vacant time. I attended first the meeting of CALGEOTRIST Society then I watched the audition for the new SALIW members in the gym. I was expecting for a flag retreat after that but there was none because of the heavy rain. I had fun this week. I didn't feel that it was just the first week of classes.
