Essay about the most challenging things you've ever done.



The most challenging that I've ever done, was when I was in 3rd yr. I was choosen to represent my class, I was forced to do it. It's challenging for me because I'm really not a muse material. I have stage fright. Im not the tipical girl that is very "kikay", Im not aware to look pretty, Im just a simple sporty kind of girl that is not qualified to be a muse. Im not really adventurous. person. so There are few challenging things that I've done. or there are only few memory that I remembered to be very challenging. My life is simple and I want it to be just like that.

Golden RULe: Do unto others what you want others do to you

Cite one experience you had with negative peer pressure. How did you react on it? How did you feel about your decision?

In college life there's a lot of pressure, both positive and negative. Having peer pressure sometimes is a help, because it will pursue you to finish your duty and you will be responsible.
But when you were given negative peer pressure you will get stressed out and feel sorry for yourself.

I just let them understand me and tell them what I can do. And i will also illustrate to them my limitations so they will not force me to do things. Its alright because at least they gave me a chance to to harder things and the believe on me.

Choose a challege:

Tell the truth, Return recovered things, Admit mistake, Return excess change, avoid cheating..
Talked about your experience and how you felt afterwards and what you learned from it?

From the choices above I choose Return excess change.
Because thats much easier than the other categories. haha..
well.. I always encounter a situations like this, their giving me wrong change. There were a time that me and my friends went to the SM and rode the jeep. I can't blame the jeepny driver because we are so many when we ride the jeep. the wasn't able to count us correctly. So my friends gave the driver a wrong fare, but the driver didn't noticed it, and then insist to my friends to pay the right fare. I felt sorry for the driver if ever my friends didn't pay him correctly. Because his only a driver he only get enough money to buy food for his family.

After having assesed your health condition, how do you plan to improve it? What is your reaction to " An Inconvenient Truth" cite a specific plan to..


I'm planning to improve my health condition by exercising daily, eating the right foods, resting, and enjoying my day.
My reaction about the “An Inconvenient Truth” is that we human beings should learn how to take care of our mother earth or what we called world. People need to realize that its our duty to protect and love the earth. Many things can happen if we didn't take good care of it. So we should be responsible enough to heal the earth and to make it better.

I recycle, and plant a tree in our neighborhood.

Challenge yourself to exel in school activities. Talked about your experience and what you learned from it.

Im doing my best to excel in my English course, I study, and do what my prof. Told us to do, and since I am enjoying spending my time for this course, its easy for me to understand it and to cope up.
When I was excelling my prof. Was giving me good feedbacks and positive comment that why I'm so proud that I got a nice grade from giving an effort to it.
I've learned to be more responsibly and take charge. I learn a lot and still I'm enjoying it.

What are the two values that you've practiced for two days? how was the freshmen night? or what is your most significant school experience?

Two values that Ive practiced was being Punctuality and creativity. I never got late for a meeting or even to class, I always try my best to make up early even if I slept late at night watching television, but still i got up and go to school early as I can. I love arts, I always try my best to show my creative side. I make things my way, re-designing my chucks, bags, and even small things like folders, notebook, or binder. I will not just practice it for two days, but i will apply them to my life.
The freshmen night was alright, but still there are some negative things about it. First, the weather didn't cooperate it rained, but it doesn't stop us from enjoying our night.
My most significant school experience was in high school, because theres a lot of activities that happen, like the prom night, foundation day, intramurals, field trip, and even just inside the class room.

How did you adjust to college life? What are the adjustments that you have to make?

There are a lot of adjusting to do in college life, new experiences, challenges that will test you, and many more to happen. College life is lot different from high school life. In high school you are not aware about your grades, the point in going to school is to see your classmates and friends, to chat with them, crack on everyones jokes, and just enjoy your day with them, but in college its so hard to socialize with people, its hard to pass, you need to strive hard just to get even the most safe grade you can ever get. You need to be cooperative, supportive and believe on yourself, those are some ways that you can do to survive college.
The adjustments that I still have to improve is my study habit. I am so lazy when it comes to studying. And also fitting in, because we are surrounded by different people, different traits, attitude, and outcome, we need to understand them.
Not balancing socializing but also working, there are so many potential friends, parties, courses, things to do, place to go. Not knowing what direction is best and not wanting to miss out anything, teens might try not to be left out and we want to be included in everything.

How does Values work to your/my advantage?

Values is very important. It works for me as an advantage by guiding me to the right path. It also teaches us the difference between good and bad doings. Values helps us understand things deeper and it opens our mind from important things. It also thought us to pray and believe to God. Values let me know myself more. Its also a bridge to a good relationship with other people.
Values can help me realize what is good for me or for others, and it can create good characteristic in me. It will mold our self, our personality.
My first experience here at MCL was a blast. I got to meet different people and new friends. I experienced challenges, but behind all of that i still enjoy my day together with my new friends.

Ang ERopLano... BOW..



nung bata pa ako, nakikita ko ang mama ko kung paano kami pakainin ni kuya ng mama ko. kunwai raw eroplano yung kutsaritang may lamang dinurog na nilagang patatas o kaya piniyaot na karot. weeeeee!weeeee! may sound effects pa yung mama ko habang duma-dive sa ere yung kutsarita at napapanganga nlng kami sa pag ka elibs at natutuwa sa mga doudle-loops at crash dives ng kutsarita, at gumagarahe na ito sa aming bibig.


HAnggang ngayo, iniisip ko pa kung papaanong hindi tumatapon yung laman pagkain nung kutsarita kahit na nag do-double loops ito. Akala ko dati na may lahi kaming magicians dahil nagagawa iyon ng mama ko. nung nag aaral na ako, mahina ako sa science pero interesado ako sa eroplano. isang bagay lang na hindi ko mage-gets till the end of time. Paano lumulutang sa hangin ang pagkabigat-bigat at pagkalaki-laking bagay? Ayoko masyadong mag isip baka mapunta lang sa Mental Hospital ang kina bukasan ko.hahaha


Kung meron may alam sainyo ng avionics, huwag nyo ng i-explain sa akin at may tendency na kagatin kita sa pag ka gulo ng isip ko.hehe


Dahil wala nga akong ideya sa aeronautics, palagay ko na halata nyo na, na hindi pa ako nakakasakay ng eroplano ni minsan. Hindi lang sandamakmak na tao ang bitbit ng eroplano, may pagka bigat-bigat ding bagahe at mga balik bayan box na naka karga dun. tapos idagdag mo pa yung mga silya na parang kama na.whaaaaaat.. para ka ng nag-angat ng building sa ere! pag nasa may ulap ka na, lulutang pa yung ng pagkatagal tagal. Minsan halos kalahating araw pa.hala..


ano nga ba meron ang eroplano at kahit na mabigat yun ay nakakalipad ng mataas pa sa lipad ng ibon? ang tao kaya kelan makakalipad?..
