"Education: A Right and Not a Privilege"

 

 

        Many things has been change because of the COVID-19 pandemic that also causes the whole world to shut down. Last school year, schools here in the Philippines did not open and learning happened through online classes and distance learning. As a student, since it’s my first experience to do learning alone in a whole school year, I feel so exhausted and stressed during those times. There are times that I feel like I can’t continue studying anymore, that I can’t finish all my works in time and many more thoughts that made my energy down in the whole school year. I feel bad for myself because I did not adapt all the things that I need to learn that year because of the pressure I felt.


        The new normal of learning is really hard for us students because not all of us can access internet or sometimes we have slow connection, and also lack of gadgets to use especially to those students who are experiencing extreme poverty during this pandemic. Because of these reasons, many students did not get the opportunity to enroll, many of them stopped attending classes for a while and waiting for schools to open so that they can continue attending classes. Education is not only for privilege people, it’s a right that all people should have. Now, online classes and distance learning is still on going in our country while the whole world already open all of their schools.



        I hope by next school year, all schools in the Philippines will already re-open so that all students who wants to learn and study will have an opportunity to attend classes. Because I believe in a saying, that Education is a Right and not a Privilege. Education for all, lets learn together for the betterment of our future. Improvement of quality of education is needed, greater and equal opportunities for the nation's youth is what we wanted.

    We have the same thoughts! I commend you for being brave enough to express what you feel about online classes online. "Education is not only for privilege people, it’s a right that all people should have" I love this phrase from you!

“The Right Type of Resilience”

       We Filipinos are known because of our resiliency. Resilience means the capacity to recover quickly from problems or difficulties. The Philippines is very vulnerable to disasters, it is one of the natural hazard-prone countries in the world. The country is highly prone to natural disasters like earthquakes, tropical cyclones, floods, and volcanic eruptions. Destructions of agricultural products, houses, and government properties always happen after a disaster. But Filipinos will try to overcome this suffering and traumatic disaster experience, showing their resiliency.      In an article written by Pamela, she stated that “Every time, the Filipino nation has to endure, brave the chaos, and stand up the next day. It is from this that we’ve grown to be called a resilient nation. Because we have had to become one.” Being resilient is not a bad thing, but we tend to forget that we’re supposed to be striving for something more. What we need to do af...

“To Learn: Overcome and Try"

  3 rd quarter is coming to end, time really moves so fast. One more quarter to finish and my Grade 10 journey will going to end already. Another learning experiences, challenges and discoveries.   The feeling that I have felt during the 3 rd quarter is just incomparable from the other quarter’s that had passed. I felt so pressured because there are too many task and works to do, there are times that the given task is not what I am good at doing. I’m so down reading the number of task given in every subjects, I’m so pressured, but I pushed myself despite the pressure and stress I am feeling. I conquer my pressure, I tried my best in doing every task given even though some of them are not what I am good at. I can still say that I did well during 3 rd quarter, despite the problems and emotional days that I had experienced.               Life is all about learning, and for you to learn more, you need to over...
