School is an institution that
helps in educating us students. It is important because it teaches us
about the world around us and prepares us with the tools we will need for
future success in the job market. Outside of the classroom, we can also
learn valuable lessons at school, such as enhancing social skills,
behavior, work ethic, working for people they don't like, and gaining a sense
of personal achievement.
In the 1st quarter
of my Grade 10 life at Ilocos Sur National High School, I have learned a lot of
things, aside from the things that we learn during discussions. First of all is
that I discovered and learned a lot of things: new friends, new lessons in
life, self discipline. Which I helped me to overcome the challenges that
I, have experience this past quarter.
First of
all, I discovered new friends and developed our relationships within each
other. During the month of July our school celebrated the Nutrition Month
with a theme “Kumain Ng Wasto At Maging Aktibo, Push Natin To!” where there is
a jingle competition we called “Nutri-Jingle”. In this year’s jingle, the
participants are the different mother clubs in our school where there will be 7
dancers from the Grades 7 and 8, and 8 dancers from Grades 9 and 10. I am the
President of the Math Club and as a president I am there to support the dancers
during their practices, although I am not always present because of training in
the debate team, Though we loss, I was able to build as relationship with our
club members and discovered new friends.
In this
quarter I,ve experience a lot of struggles and problems. Especially in
time management. I missed a lot of my classes because of my duties as a club
president and during the preparation of the debate contest that we attended
last July 25 where we garnered third place. At this time I’ve also been
addicted in using mobile phone that made me harder to manage my time. I,ve also
experience difficulties in budgeting my allowance because I always eat a lot.
I was able
to overcome these challenges through disciplining myself. I was able to lessen
my addiction in cellphone by spending some of my time in physical activities. I
have also set my priorities that will always comes first before anything that I
will do. I also learned how to stop my urge to eat a lot of food.
Moving on I
will continue to enjoy my studies and learn a lot of things. I know that there
is God who will always guide me in the things that I do. With the
challenges that we experience there is always a lesson that we can learn. Always
remember “ True failure is… when you fail and you don’t learn your
lesson”.
