"Unsatisfied Beginning"

     Second grading period had just come to an end.  However, I will be sharing some of the learning and discoveries that I have gained during the second grading period.  It was fun and challenging for me.  In the same way, it was interesting for all of us.  There's a lot of lessons I'd learned from TLE IV in my second quarter, such as about Mark Up Tags, Two Kinds of Tag, HTML Tags and others.  I have discovered by myself, the fact that I am not active and confident enough to recite, I felt shy and nervous in reciting.  I know you're wondering why, it because if ever my answer is wrong and I commit mistakes in my grammar, I am afraid that my classmates might laugh at me.  But it's just okay for me to commit mistakes as long as I am learning with it.

     Again, new obstacles and challenges in life came in my way.  That without those I can never be as strong and brave as I am today.  Well, get to know me better by my reflections in a totally fresh new way.  There were just a few challenges that I have encountered then.  Academic enterprise has finally come to its pressurize termination; the textbooks to nag me, assignments to worry me and homework to impel me, quizzes to press me, periodical test to push me and to prod me, discussions to fire me, the themes to spur me and compositions to drive me, book reports to stir me, projects to discipline me and its deadlines to pressurize me and give me restless days and sleepless nights.  In short, school work to arouse, enliven, stimulate, animate, exhilarate, inspire, encourage, challenge, energize and galvanize me into action.  All in all, I am not so satisfied with my performance in this past grading period.

     It is not yet the end but the beginning, not the conclusion but the introduction, not the termination but the commencement of greater and deeper pilgrimage in the exciting, exhilarating adventure of learning.  However, I can still high my educational attainment might be, it is still true that all that has gone before in my educational experience so far is simply a prologue, a foreword, a prefatory start, if I please, to the real thing.  I am convinced beyond the shadow of the slightest doubt that I have mastered everything under the sun as well as above it.  In this, I shall climb up the educational ladder a little higher yet and after I shall have earned anything that I must have to.

     Thus, in moving on, I will read my lessons and concentrate with my studies.  I must not lose hope, because it's not yet the end of everything. I still have two more grading periods for me to improve my performance in the past two grading periods.  Always be reminded that if you want to achieve your goal, you must have a plan of action and the willingness to do it. Be patient in doing your work, even if it is difficult, because the reward that awaits you is greater than the pain.  Do wholeheartedly what you are supposed to do.  

CHEMERGY: Chemistry and Science Club in Synergy

     As you listen and look around, you may wonder why things happen the way they do.  You may ever believe that there is a touch of magic in them.  Silkworms and spiders spin natural fibers that stronger than nylon, stronger even than steel.  Chemists have learned what there is in the chemical structure of spider silk that makes it so strong.  Engineers are now able to develop a method of manufacturing synthetic spider silk- these and thousands of other amazing things occur in our everyday life to fill us with wonderment.  All this marvel we witness before we means just one thing; we are now living in an age of science!

     Science is a fast advancing knowledge; we need to know it in order to enable our self to live intelligently and comfortably in this modern world.  You, too, could participate with the development of science and contribute to its growth.  What you see around you were not known before; they are the secrets of the natural and physical world that were uncovered by man.  The principles involved in many of the things we use in our daily lives are the results of accumulated knowledge of man.  Chemistry is a fundamental subject in here that there is scarcely an area of modern life unaffected by it.  The impact of chemistry on society can be seen in most society's products, processes, and services.  Through chemistry and science club in synergy we can able to build awareness on the different issues involved in our community such like the elements of justice, environment, gender sensitivity, and political issues.

     Science covers many fields of endeavor.  You may be interested in chemicals and many others.  But, even if you may not become a scientist, you can still help your country, your family and yourself by knowing how to apply the fundamental laws of science.  There is a lot of wasted labor and resources in our midst which could otherwise be saved and utilized for the mounting needs of the people.  In this alone, you shall have done much for our country's progress if you could help conserve this wealth and teach others the proper ways of preserving them for future needs.

     By working together through the use of chemistry and the help of science club, we will led to the gateway of a new wonder world of scientific knowledge which will be introduced to us so we could become an intelligent and progressive member of the community.     

Promoting Digital Literacy Through English Proficiency

     Linking the world through English proficiency aims us to be awaken, a passionate desire to contribute to the progress of being literate, to develop a keen interest in others views, and to use our communicative skills in making this world a more harmonious shelter for all.  Reading, writing, listening, and speaking are skills that we use everyday and should not be confined in the classroom.  You may not be aware of it, but it has been affecting you and your relations with people.

     Promoting and mastering the use of digital literacy requires a serious sense of discipline, patience, and openness.  Learning becomes more relevant and the whole world becomes a more exciting classroom for us to explore, if we possess these qualities.  We can all make a difference by starting with what we can do.  Accepting our role as an active and positive contributor to nation building is integrated to show the value of effective communication.  English addresses the communicative needs of us by adopting a communicative, interactive, and collaborative approach to learning English as a second language.  We should all consider these.  Then, imagine communicating or receiving communication with faulty sounds, forms, or structure.  The scenario may go beyond anybody's worst imagination.

     Therefore, in your effort to promote digital literacy through English proficiency, you help create an environment where there is more peace and understanding.  In this, you will soon realize how English can improve the rate and degree by which you understand the ideas in what you read or listened to.  Of equal importance to this is the improvement in the rate and degree by which others can understand the ideas in what you wrote or said.  Look around you and feel the magic of a life can make a difference.  Remember that as you learn to live each day with purpose and meaning, you are creating the most wonderful story of all.  We students must realize that what we do with language in the classroom is similar to how we use it in real life.  On the whole, it aims us to promote the proficiency of English a pleasurable one through a wide variety of purposeful activities.  It provides varied opportunities to develop one's ability in listening, speaking, reading, and writing competencies.
