Superb Experiences

            I gained so many experiences this school year. These experiences turned into learnings that I could apply in everyday life. I sometimes made mistakes. Yet, this does not stop me from reaching my goal. In fact, these mistakes helped me. We can’t learn without mistakes.

             The things that I like the most in this English class is I got to learn something new. Almost everything are first times, the blogs, oration, Shakespearean masterpieces, Divine Comedy, jazz chant, choral recitation a lot more. I really enjoyed these performances. Although, these are no easy to master, with the help of the class and ourselves, we got through it.

            Other things that made the class special are the questions that are difficult to answer. These questions made me really think for the answers. I still remember this question, “Will you choose a life without a mother but with a father or a life with a mother but without a father?” Some really got teary-eyed. That is when I realize that both parents are important in my life. Another question, “Am I special?” This time the whole class went silent like everybody is thinking for the answer. Actually it is my first time to hear that question and I really don’t know the answer. But as the discussion goes, I realize that everybody is special, that I am special. “What makes me happy?” is another question that I am still looking for the answer. I believe that to answer this question, I must know myself first, which is I am not yet accomplishing. The last question that made the 3N room tremble is, “Who in this classroom would you sacrifice?” This is a really tough question that a very brave student in the class can answer. To that one person that answered the question, hands off to your courage. Honestly, when I heard this question, I look at everyone’s faces, weighing each. But at the end I got no answer. Yes, everyone has weakness but if we come together as one I know we get strong enough to face whatever challenges we encounter.

            These are just some great experiences that I can recall. I know that these all contribute to my personality as a student, a daughter, a friend and a citizen. I hope that this will not be the last batch to experience such great things but also the next batches for the next years.
