Reflection..........Reflection..........Reflection..........

As the first semester draws to a closure, I have only yet to be worried on how the outcome is going to be. For this second grading period a lot has happened but not in the four walls of the school. I got engaged to more extracurricular activities this grading period with speech choirs, investigatory science projects defense and also, beauty pageant.

As they say, real knowledge is attained by experience. I was quite fatigued and drained by how hectic my activities where but it was overwhelming due to the positive results. Still there was that notion in which I was worried about how to cope in class. 

Academics are still what are important in the composition of my grade. I was quite hard up, tears were shed, and a feeling of giving up was there. Luckily, I had friends to help and I am that person who struggles first and does everything first except to give up. I have passed some requirements marked late but at least there is the effort. I was not content with the composition of some of my projects because some were rushed and hastily made. 

There are more aspects to be improved in me. In this grading period, the activities taught me to be more persevering and more time efficient. Even though I did not attend some classes, I should have done advanced research and not always relying on my teachers.

Upholding English Proficiency for Communicative Competence

More than six billion people compose the planet Earth up to this date, with individuals coming from different regions and countries. How can they connect? Through what is called as LANGUAGE. 

It is said the language is the most used medium in communicating with fellow individuals today. According to my research, there are about 7000 more or so distinct languages that keep people connected to one another. Due to the vastness of the Earth and more than one language established all around the world, how can we understand others from foreign countries? Simple, establish a language to be learned by all, the most famous linguistics that is famous all over the globe, ENGLISH. 

To learn a new language is quite hard for some and alien to many, especially those from different mother tongues and with different literacy rates. The Philippines for example is comprised of so many regional dialects aside from “Filipino” the national language. To learn yet another language could be quite difficult. I am a Pilipino in which I am a firsthand witness on hard it is to establish and teach English especially to those more fluent in “Filipino” or “Ilokano” here in Ilocos Sur. It is quite difficult for some because some are not quite interested to learn the language especially teenagers like me. 

This brings us the dilemma that we have to solve now. Evidently, if there is no communication prior to the understanding of many, there wouldn’t be any unison that may lead to other hostilities among nations. 
Solution? Proper education and practiced. Language can be learned in school but it must be continued also at home. Activities like this blog should be established so that we’ll know the importance to learn English so that someday we’ll be nationally or better yet globally competitive in speaking the language. 

Once these skills are acquired, we are now safe to say that we are one-step closer to global unity and competitive. United through linguistics, through the people engaged in the learning of English, this vision of global competence may be achieved.

.Scientricity: Energizing Science Clubbers for Sustainable Energy

This year the Science Club uses “SCIENTRICITY”, from the combination of the words Science and Electricity, as its main theme for this year’s National Science Month Celebration. Science and Electricity, some of the discoveries man has made through the years that made us understand things that happen everyday. 

The theme is actually a wakeup call to every mind that the nothing is permanent. Life on earth is not permanent. Through the years we have been constantly moving up the ladder due to the discovery of Science. It has somewhat skyrocketed life as we know it. But it actually made us improve but not all had good effects to Earth, some are constantly detonating it to pieces, inch by inch. Actually, this month calls a reason that we must make an initiative that we must somewhat we make alternative resources to fuel the society without having severe effects to nature. 

Change is constantly happening. It is a phenomenon that cannot be altered. That is why actions must be done fast. While time is still abundant, we must do the necessary actions. Hand in hand, we must make a change especially due to the fact that we were given the highest form of thinking power. It is our mission to take care of what is existent in this planet. 

No matter how complex or how simple it may be as long as it is conceptualized to help the Earth it is needed to be implemented now. The sky is vast they say and now that we are needed we must in turn save the day.
