10. PRESSURE!!

One negative peer pressure I have experience is that I my group mates gave me all the work. I was really tired and I don’t know what I should do with it. Even, I don’t know where to start. I was really onto my nerves because it should be presented the next day and I was just working on it the night before the day of the presentation.
The next day, my mood was really affected that day because I felt like I am going to explode with the anger I felt with my group mates. It was the worst! I felt really bad because I felt that I cannot handle pressure that well that led to the point my mood was really ruined.
I learned from this experience to handle things lightly and stop thinking that the world will came crashing upon you. (Ha ha)

9. RESPONSIBILITY

A responsible man is a person who knows his duties even he is not told to do so. He do things right and also with effort.
My responsibilities at home are just to clean my room and take good care of our dogs. Also, I have to do the thing my parents told me or ask me to do. In my school, I have to study and know my duties as a student. I also have to follow the rules and regulations in my school. And lastly, in my community. I have to be a good example among the youth and I also have to follow my community rules. I should also be a good influence in my community.

8. TRUTH or LIE?

I chose the challenge to tell the truth. It’s not really that hard for me because I am a very straightforward and frank person. I say what is on my mind and what I feel on that thing or person.
I’m able to do this challenge because the truth shall remain and it will be still known even if you lie. And also, the guilt will be there if you keep on telling lies. I felt good about it because I don’t have to hide something to someone.
So, IT IS BETTER TO TELL THE TRUTH THAN LET YOURSELF DIE WITH GUILT! =)

7. HEALTH IS WEALTH =)

As I review my health assessment, I see that I have weakness especially the way I treat my body. I don’t get that much of sleep and worse of that, I’m a smoker and I love to drink. Even I know the effects of it. (IT IS SO HARD TO GET RID OF! HAHA)
I realized that I have to balance everything. I should stop sleeping late at night and exercise in the morning to strengthen my body. I also need to get rid of drinking and smoking. I CAN really do that. =)
So now, I just have to adjust and make things balance for me and my body.

6. Score!!=)

The challenge I took is to get a high score on a long exam. To be exact, it is in Humanities011. The subject I’m weak at. (Ha ha) I think I was able to beat the challenge because I have a very satisfying grade and I know that I really passed through it. I felt happy because I know that I can really beat those challenges and I know that I can pass my course.
I learned from this challenge that you better work hard. And like sir Paz said to us, “NEVER DENY YOURSELF OF BECOMING SUCCESSFUL SOMEDAY” (I kind of revised It. ha-ha)

5. super ACCOMPLISHMENT =)

The greatest thing that I have ever accomplish is that I graduated from highschool. Those times are the best. I get to grow with my friends and be mature all along. Those years that I have spent at school, I guess it's an accomplishment. Why? Because for so long, I have survived every lesson and challenges that came through me.

Me and also my parents are proud of it because I have finished one step of my life to become a more successful one. =)

4. improvement... =)

The one outstanding virtue I want to have is CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT. Why? Because without improvement, there is no progress on doing things. I want to improve on doing things. I don't want to stay just on the ground, but I want to be on the peak or the steeple but of course, I will never loose the virtue of humility. I want to be known through out so that's why i want to improve more on doing things.


Because.....


PRACTICE MAKES PROGRESS.. =)

3. Coping to College

My first week in college is not that bad. But still, I have no new friends. I'm still on the adjusting stage. I'm making an observation to my new surroundings. Not to fit in, but to just go with the flow. Because I know that college is way different in high school.

As I meet my professors, I'm getting really nervous. First is Engr. Henry Paz, my professor on DRAW021. At first, I find him scary. But as he speaks to us, I find him as a new friend, a supporter, and a mentor. Second is Ma'am Jean Gargasin, my professor on SS016. Really, I hate History, but I'm starting to like it because of her. She just keeps on teaching until we got it. She encourages us to study more. Third is Ma'am Grace Abdon, my professor on MATH011. I really love math so I didn't find anything to hate her or something. I love the way she taught us because she said to us "kakampi ninyo ako..". It really helped me to boost my studies. Because I really thought that college is "BAHALA NA KAYO SA SARILI NIYO". I was wrong. Fourth is Ma'am Remilyn Mondez, my professor on VE011. I really find her fun to be with. I learned to interact more with my classmates. Fifth is Ma'am Rowena Dela Cruz, my professor on HUM011. The subject I'm hating. (ha ha) But, Ma'am DC makes it fun. She always said even if we fail, still, "LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL!". It's true. REALLY! =) Sixth is Prof.Leonnel De Mesa, my IT001 professor. Hm, I find him really willing to teach us. I'm speechless to him. (ha ha) Seventh is Ma'am Rovilla Sudaprasert, my professor on ENG011. The "nosebleed" part of my courses. But she is really kind to us. And lastly, Prof. Mendelson Cabalig, my professor on PE021. The intriguing one! (ha ha) He's really funny and frank. That's what I love about him. And above all my professors, all of them are my mentors. =)

My blockmates are so funny. They are acting like a highschool. But still, I love them. The strength of my blockmates is friendship. Because without it, it would be like chaos in our room. The weakness of my blockmates is groupings and some are not studying.

My courses are all challenging. It changes me to study more, party later. Sometimes it's easy then suddenly it's like a BOOM! It becames hard.

The adjustment I'm going through is my schedule. It's really hard to study late at night because I got home around 7 p.m. Sometimes, I miss some church activities because of it. But now, I'm getting through it(I think). Also, I'm adjusting to my environment. Of course, I'm a freshmen so I really don't know anything how things work in college, but I know I can pass throgh it. =)

2. What is the importance of Values Education?

The importance of values education in my life is that I learn on respecting others. Also, my attitude is turn to the right path. Without values education, I won't be able to understand the importance of management and right attitude. Values education teaches me the right way of socializing to other people.

1. In the first few days you've spent in MCL, how would you compare your highschool life to what you envisioned college life to be?

My high school life was just the best. I was not that prepared when it ended. In my high school, almost all of my friends are my classmates. I do things as my teacher told me so. And even if I don't study, I would still pass. But I know college is not like that.

As a freshmen, I see my college to be hard. But i was wrong. College is easy if you learn to manage things. And also, I learned to manage my time. Unlike high school, I was the one who decides if I will attend my next class or not. I have to always study my lessons before attending my classes. I always needed to be prepares about quizzes and recitations just to pass. But I also find it fun to be in college because I am creating a new circle of friends to be at my side.
