STUDYING = FASTEST SLEEPING PILL! :))

Have you ever experienced falling asleep while studiying for your exams? Why is Studiying makes us sleepy? I have experienced falling asleep while studiying for the FOURTH Quarter examinations last year. It was about 4:30 in the afternoon that I started studiying for our examinations. In the middle of studiying, I felt tired and I lied down in my bed and continued reading. I was not expecting that I would fall asleeep because I have so many things to study. But then I did. When I woke up, I was so surprised when I saw the time. Gosh! It was already 8:30 in the evening and I haven;t really studied a subject. So, I started studiying again, but then I still felt sleepy. I planned on sleeping and set my alarm clock to 2 am. :)))

Is CRAMMING Really The Answer?

Exams are coming and the big question is : ARE YOU READY? We, students, oftentimes, CRAM. But is cramming really the answer for not preparing ahead? We are given all the time in the world to prepare ahead. But why don't we do it in advance? Why do we have to wait for the last minute to do things? Come to think of it. I know you know the answer to my question. :))

HOW ARE YOU?

This question maybe is very cliche but it brings a thought. THOUGHTFULNESS. Being asked by this question means being a special person. It means somebody cares for you. It shows their concern. It simply shows that they love you. Simple.

HOW ARE YOU = LOVE.

Saying How Are You is just the same as saying I Care for you. :))

Why? oh WHY?

I wonder why here in the Philippines, we call them ASWANG. But in other countries, CANNIBALS. I wonder why when someone not known to many is killed, we call it Murder? But when someone very known is killed, we call it ASSIMILATION? I wonder why many wants to go to heaven but no one wants to die? Hahahaha. Just Wondering! :))

If Given A Chance, I Would...

If given a chance, I would change the world. I would make it a better place. If given a chance to be a billionaire, I would donate money to the orphans and the poor people. I would make wishes of poor children come true. If given a chance, I would like to be the president of my country. I would improve the lives of my people. I will improve my country. I will pay all our debts and solve all our problems. I will make our country prosper and be known to all people all over the world. I will bring out the Filipino Pride that we, Filipinos, are very worthy of.

I AM A DREAMER, and I hope, SO ARE YOU. :))

My TEENAGE DREAM.

Katy Perry, I believe, is one of the best singers in the international music industry. Kathryn Elizabeth Hudson, as well kown as KATY PERRY is an American Singer - song writer and musician. She was born in Santa Barbara, California on the 25th day of October in the year 1984. Since she was born to Christian pastor parents, she grew up listening to gospel music ans sang in church. She began her music career after finishing her freshman year in highschool. Her official mainstream debut album is One of the Boys. Ur So Gay was her first internet single, but she rose to fame with her single I Kissed A Girl. Her single was a commercial success, peaking at number one for seven weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. This single earned her a nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in the 2009 Grammy Awards. Her debut album reached number nine on the Billboard 200 and has been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. She won Best New Act at the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards and Best International Female Artist at the 2009 BRIT Awards. In Feb. 2009, her single I Kissed A Girl and Hot 'n Cold were certified three-time platinum by Recording Industry Association of America. Her new album was entitled "Teenage Dream" and was realeased on the 24th day of August 2010. Her first single entitled California Girls became a hit, and it took only 4 weeks to reach the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100.She has announced her own fragrance to be released in autumn of this year, named "Purr". It will come in a cat-shaped bottle, and will be available through Nordstrom stores. She is set to make her film début, starring in the 2011 film The Smurfs, as Smurfette, alongside Neil Patrick Harris, Jonathan Winters, Alan Cumming, and George Lopez and I will definitely watch it.

GIRL FRIENDS? MORE LIKE SISTERS!

Friends! What's more to life than having friends? Friends who are there in all times. Friends who remain true even if tested by challenges and problems. My friends are priceless and money can't buy the happiness that they have brought me. :)

Boys, Boys, BOYS!

What are boys really to us? What are they really for? These questions are stuck in my mind for like, forever. And the worst and biggest one is : WHY DO SOME GIRLS DISLIKE/HATE THEM? Yes. That's true. Some girls really do dislike boys. And I am happy to say that I am NOT one of them. In fact, I like boys (no malice! :) ). BOY  Friends are the best entertainers you may ever have if your girl friends are not around. the best cheerers when you are down. They are the best advisers when you have problems/worries especially when your girl friends doesn't understand you. They are fun to be with, and nothing can ever be compared to how it is fun to be with BOYS (no malice!). :D

U SMILE, I SMILE.

Love can make the impossible say I'M POSSIBLE. As others say, love can make the world go round. Yes, I believe it does. But let us put into mind that there are many kinds of this feeling we call L O V E.

Love of self. We all love our own selves, don't we? We do all that we can to protect our bodies. We do everything that makes us happy and satisfy us eventhough sometimes we even can't. Love for others. Love. This crazy little thing called love. It is crazy especiall when it comes to falling in love. But worst: falling out of love. It is really okay for us to love others, especially if they needed our love. The poor, the needy, the sick and the suffering. But sometimes, we love someone too much eventhough we know he/she is not even major-major worthy of the love we give him/her. We should give our love to those who are worthy of it and to those who strive be loved. Love for material possessions. Us, human beings, loves possessions too much especially material ones. We do all that we can to get what we want and sometimes, it leads us to committing sin. Loving of material possessions often, leads to sin. Our "always-wanting-for-more" attitude always makes us greedy and never contented.

I think. that's what we really are. Human beings. I think it's part of our human nature. To love and to be loved. When we love someone/something, we do all that we can to get him/her/them. We always make sure that what we have makes us happy. Of course, what's the point of getting something/someone when we don't love that something/someone? :)

So, always remember: everyone deserves to love and be loved. One's happiness shall be the other ones happiness. When one smile, the other shall smile. That's love.

A Day to Remember. :))

Last Sunday, 7:00 am, we went to Dumangas. Since all of my father's siblings are around except for one (who is still in Canada), we stayed there for the whole day! Imagine, it was a Sunday and there are classes the day after. It was such a great day since we went to 2 houses in one day. First, we went to our "usual" gathering place (where we used to live in before), in my grandfather's house. Then, at around 10:00 am, we went to my uncle's house. We all bonded together and talked about fun things. Then, we planned on what to do for the future dates to come. We had a video call together with my tito in Canada. Then, at around 6 in the evening, my cousins and me spent the whole night chatting and talking about our experiences in school and how we did in school and in our subjects. It was about 9:00 in the evening when my parents decided that we should go home already. But, we still didn't. We really talked so hard and laughed so hard that we didn't noticed that the time had went by so quickly. So, at about 10:00 pm already, we finally went home. I can say that indeed, it was a great day to remember because it only happen sometimes and we don't know when can all of my father and his siblings go back home here in the Philippines together again. :)

Brain-cracking examinations && nerve - racking school works. HEELP!

Exams. Exams. Exams! Yeah, they're all OVER! (thank God!). We  were all very tired after 3 hard days, last Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.


First Day, August 3, 2010. STATISTICS, CLE && SOCIAL STUDIES. When I first knew our schedule, I was like "WHAAAT?!". First day was like TERROR on our part since we were not given a day to fully study our lessons, especially Social Studies (we all should memorize lots of facts, terms and COUNTRIES! ++ their LOCATIONS on the map.). Most of my classmates wanted to cry already because of the exams. The given time alloted for us to study is not enough and in Hiligaynon, BITIN. For me, honestly, i wasn`t able to study well in CLE since I concentrated in studiying Social and Statistics. At first, I really thought our exams would be super duper hard, but my mistake, it`s not really that bad if you really studied. Honestly, I didn't have a hard time in answering CLE, Stat and Soc Stud (thank God!). Our test in Social wasn't the test I expected it to be, I thought it would be much much harder, but it wasn't. It was hard, but not too much. :)) First day ended with complaints I heard from my classmates like "budlay!" "baw ka hapos hapos gid ya sang social! (sarcastically)" HAHAHA!. Even I complained, to be honest. :)

Second Day started with prayer lead by the Love group. First exam we took was Math, and holy cow! It was terror! especially, I ran out of time. In the middle of my answering the exams, I wanted to tell our proctor, "sir, extend the time!" because i was only in the 3rd or 4th page and there`s only like 15 mins left and there are still about 2 - 3 pages of problem solving! Ohh, my, I was about tocry. I wrote the solutions super faster and good thing, when I reached the last page, i checked my watch and there was like about 2 mins left, so I hurriedly answered the last problem. Then I finished. Whew! I was relieved. I thought all along I would not finish and really fail in math, but Yes, I finished! Yes I did!  finished! I couldn`t believe it. Thank God. :)) Next, we had our recess and reviewed for CAF and CAE. The bell rang and we took the exam in CAF. It was also like 'Lord-Help-Me!' kind of test. It was difficult especially on the part where you should translate English words to Filipino. My gosh, I really need help. All I can remember is that I really stayed long on the number where it asked for the translation of COMMITTEE in Filipino. Ugh! It really cracked my brain. Finally, we took the last exam for the day, which is CAE and gosh! it was confusing. hahaha. The day ended lightly with so many complaints especially with MATH! hahaha. We were all like saying "ahay, bitin sang oras" "ahay, waay ko katapos" "grabe, budlay sang math" and etc. :))

Last day of exams came. We took the last 2 subjects left, science and journalism. Science. It was not-that-easy-but-at-the-same-time-not-that-hard test. :)) There were parts of the test where I find it hard and confusing but there were also parts where I find easy. Taking the exam in science is super tiring because all we do is write, write and write. There are so many things to write especially in the essays part and the enumeration part. After science, I was really really nervous to take the exam in journalism. I admit, I really haven't studied well on the chronological record of news papers because all along, I thought, Mr. Gerano would let us enumerate all newspapers from the early year to the martial law days. When I received the exam, I immeadiattely scanned the paper to check if there are enumeration parts, but to my surprise..... There wasn't any! ohh myy gosh! i must be dreaming! I could not believe it because sir only gave us multiple choice from 1 - 100! I was very happy in answering the exam. After I finished the exam, i was relieved. But when I asked my classmates "Waay naman ulubrahon no?" There I remembered that there are TONS of projects on queue. Oh my gosh, after the exams, I never thought that we still have so many things to do, and It was to be passed on MONDAY to WEDNESDAY! holy cow. how can I finish all these? I really can say, Lord, HEEEEELLLLLPPPPPP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! :))

Lesson-enriched Evening to Early Morning Experience :D

Last July 16, 2010, 6:00 - July 17, 2010, 6:00 am, we had the "bonggacious" Taize prayer vigil here in Assumption Iloilo, Centennial Sports Complex for the first time. And take note, it was the VERY FIRST TIME EVER IN ASSUMPTION ILOILO HISTORY. At first, when our teachers introduced to us "TAIZE" the first thought that came into my mind was: "Ohh, matulugan gid ko ni mo. Hahaha." But, it seems that my first impression of it was wrong. REALLY wrong. Before the program started, at about 5 in the afternoon, my classmates and I were really REALLY excited. When the program started, we were surprised that we had GAMES! ACTIVITIES! and then GAMES! again and again. I thought going to Taize was really not worth it. I thought that I was going to be disappointed at the end because what the teachers told us was to PRAY and PRAY and PRAY the whole night long... so, BOREDOME went inside my head as the first impression of Taize. But, everything that I thought about was wrong like what I`ve said earlier. When we were given our name tags with the symbols representing the groupings we would be in, I was slight disappointed because my best friends in the section (CAROLYN, CHARLENE, PATRIZIA) belonged to other groups. Dianne and Jeanne, my other best friends, were not joining in the groups either because they were tasked to be usherettes and servers for the Taize vigil. I was sad. When we went down and were asked to go to the Centennial Sports Complex already, i was nervous because, in my group of friends in our section, i was the only one who belonged to the asterisk group. :( When we sat down the bleachers, I was surprised and I was like "enlightened" or "natauhan" when my best friend from ST. ELIZABETH, Apple Colocar approached me and told me that we belonged to the same group. So, I was like... "you know.. yey! I`m with a best friend. Finally. HAHAHA." From that time on, I started became so energetic or what we students call "HYPER". We started the program with a game "BAHAY, BATA, BAGYO". I really had fun and gained NEW friends. After the game, we had the talk. Honestly, we were really bored during the talk. SInce we (our group) seated at the back or the Complex, we could not really understand what the speaker is saying. At the back, it`s as if the speaker`s mouthing her own words, so we were tempted to talk to each other instead to prevent us from getting sleepy. After the talk, we all rejoiced when Mr.Secular said it`s time for us to eat. WOW! EAT? yeah. EAT! haha. After eating, it was that time that many of my friends and classmates felt so sleepy. Maybe because they were used to sleeping after dinner time in their own houses. At around 10 : 00 pm, the handsome, or should I say "HOT" guys (HAHAHA!) from the St. Vincent Ferrer Seminary arrived. At around 11, we were given a break to fix our selves and change because the real TAIZE PRAYER will start already. At around 11:30 pm, we went back the Complex and were told by a gradeschool teacher that the priests are open for confessions. So, my friends andI didn`t let go of the opportunity to ask penance from God from all our sins. I confessed at around 11:45 in the evening. At around 12, the Taize prayer started. After the prayer, we were again given a break and we were served Arroz Caldo, Bread and Iced Teas! YUM! foodtrip! it was like a midnight snack. It was also that time where I get to talk and communicate with my teachers. It was really fun talking to them "AS FRIENDS". Very funny and less serious. LESS LESS SERIOUS that talking to them in the classroom. When i went to the volleyball court, I saw Ms. Olvido sitting. I knew all along that she was really sleepy so my friends and i talked to her. I asked her if she really is sleepy and she replied VERY. Hahaha! so I shared with her what I did to prevent being sleepy. I told her "Miss, kaon ka bala miss Chocolates." Then she said, "why? diin chocolates haw?" I said: "Kagina Miss, nagkaon ko Chocolates tapus na dula tuyo ko asta subong." Then she said: "Ti diin Chocolates haw?" I said: "My ara ko to Miss, imo lang." Then I gave her a bar of chocolates. At around 4 in the morning, we had a mass to signal the end of our Taize prayer vigil. Most of us fell asleep but I didn't. :)) After the mass, the school offered us free hot Milo ang bread. Then, we all went home with tired and sleepy face after a lesson-enriched evening to morning experience. Thanks to Taize, we all learned valuable lessons and also gained more NEW friends.

INFATUATION: FIRST STAGE

What`s the difference of a crush or an infatuation? People are always confused with these words. Infatuation is referred to, by many people as "being a fool for love" and I agree with it. There are 'special stages' that we undergo in an infatuation. First: Being Star-Struck to a person. When your crush passes by, what do you feel? Is there  something tinggling or vibrating within you or inside you? Do your heart beat FASTER and FASTER as that person drawing nearer and nearer towards you? If your answer to all these questions are all yes, then, you`re passing the first stage of INFATUATION. According to Dana Peach, it is the magic moment when someone suddenly takes on "special" meaning for us. Everytime you hear a phrase related to him, or a particular inflection of his voice strikes a special chord in your heart. You are struck with every move that he makes. You are warmed with a gaze or an 'accidental look' from him. It`s as if every move he makes, every step he takes you`ll be watching him. A certain 'intriguing' remark goes straight to your soul or to a certain part of you that you suddenly feel something. It`s as if a lightning has struck you. Cupid`s arrow has struck you.

I love you 5 :)

"I love you one, a two, a three shobee-doo, I love you four, that's more that I can afford, And I can tell someday that I'm gonna say, I love you five." Great song! Nevershoutnever is so awesome that most people get addicted to his song. The singer, Christofer Drew Ingle, also popular as Nevershoutnever has really an amazing voice. He makes great tunes and melodies of songs that he sing. He was born on the 11th day of February in the year 1991 and was born in Joplin, Missouri, United States. He usually makes acoustic and pop music. He began his ventures and music making career as Nevershoutnever in September 2007. His debut album is What is Love which was produced by Butch Walker. As the news say, his music career as an artist caused him to drop out of school before his graduation. Every time he tours, he has with him his touring band which he calls "The Shout".  Not only that his voice is awesome, I had to admit, that he, also, is very handsome. When he was still in middle school, he went through a self-described "emo stage" where he began to like bands like Dashboard Confessional. He often speaks of his admiration for Jack Johnson (sites as his musical influence). As i have heard, last July 29, 2008, he was featured on TRL where he performed his single "BigCityDreams" that eventually made it to number 3 on the Hot Singles Chart. Christofer's super duper awesome. Great things are happening to him at present and more great and superb opportunities are coming his way. :)

I am contended. I am proud. :)

Friends. Do you ever have one? Friends are great. Many said they come and go but I believe that if you have a TRUE friend, he/she won't go. He/she wont leave you. Have you ever experienced leaving a friend? or have you ever had a friend who left you? You wont feel good right? You'll feel like there's something missing inside you. At present, I can say that I am very contented and very proud of what I have now, my friends. I have a lot of them but there's this very very best friend of mine who have been with me since grade 5 up to the present. Wanna know her? she's Carmen Ana Margarita Catequista. I admit we're not perfect. I love her for who she is. Eventhough we have experienced a lot of problems and encountered a lot of obstacles, our friendship remained strong. We forgive each others mistakes and forget what happened that is not pleasing. We share a lot of similarities, likes, and dislikes. We share each other's secrets and trust each other. So, to my best friend, Carmen Ana Margarita Catequista, I hope you'll stay the same. I love you for who you are and I hope we'll remain friends until babies grow on trees. :)

Craving for FOOD! :))

Research period. "No Facebook-ing allowed", that was the main rule of the Research center. Most of us students really don't want this rule. (HAHAHA!) All of us wanted Facebook-ing. Since we have nothing to do, I searched and opened cool sites on cool pictures while my seatmate, Patrizia, was busy doing her blog. I typed "Tumblr Pictures" and saw a picture of food from Mcdo! OMG. MCDO is one of my favorite fastfood restaurants. I suddenly felt hungry. I feel that I crave for food. Hmm. I wanted to eat but it's not allowed here. So, i guess, i should really wait for a few more minutes... Hmmm. the time now is 4:15, so I should wait for 5 mins more. Hmph! I'm really hungry! :( I ate my lunch, and I don't know why my stomach grumbles now. HAHAHA. Patience is a virtue. FOOD! :)

Judgements are not always RIGHT :>

Many people tend to judge people before knowing them. Many people believes in the saying "First Impression Lasts a Lifetime." and actually, I'm one of them. Sometimes, I get to judge them through their appearance, through their faces. While i was surfing the net, looking through some cool pictures in Google because I have nothing to do, i saw this picture saying "DONT JUDGE ME. You don't know what I've been through." Honestly, I was STAR STRUCK by the picture. Eventhough it really isn't that awesome, it was the quote that caught my attention. For me, I really believe in it. You just don't judge a person through the way they look, the way they act, the way they do things. You should first know him/her. Eventhough at first, she/he maltreated you, don't judge him/her immeadiately. Take time to know him/her more. Give him/her another chance to improve his/herself. Maybe, she/he has something deep inside him/her that made him/her maltreat you, whether oral or physical. We should always look in the brighter side of things. You may not know, that person who maltreated you actually wanted to be a friend of yours and wanted to get you attention. Look in his/her positive side. Don't easily judge others. Not all judgements are correct. Even your mom or dad can't judge you correctly eventhough you've spent your life with them. :)

WHY?

Why do I need to hurt myself?
Because I`m feeling so blue.
I don`t really understand it,
But what I am feeling is so true.

Why do we need to leave each other
When we can stay together
With each other
Forever and ever.

I can't stop myself from remembering
The person I love,
I am just reminicsing,
All the memories we have.

I have many regrets
In my life these days,
But why is it really hard to forget
All the dreams that we have made?

"why" is the question I always ask,
To myself and to the people I trust.
I think It's time to move on,
I can't, but I must.

Moving On is Hard to do.

New Life. New Hopes. New Friends. New Teachers. New everything. Second week of my Second Year High school education has already ended. My new life has already begun. I’ve met so many new faces since last week. New classmates, new seatmates, new groupmates, but no one can ever replace my Gabriel family. I can’t easily let go of the past. Gabriel is the best. We had the best class adviser, the best group and the best classmates I’ve ever had. First year life has helped me open and widen the circle of friends I have. First few days of first year, I only have 3 best friends but as days go on, I had made 35 new BEST FRIENDS. No one can ever replace them. Without them in the classroom, I feel empty. I feel like there’s something missing inside of me. I can say that our bond as a section is really so tight that we can’t easily let go of each other. I miss everything about Gabriel, our teachers before especially Mrs. Abototo who transferred to the grades 1-2-3 department and Sr. Forthelli whom I’ve never seen for quite a long time. First year, for now, was the best year of my life. Gabriel is the best section for me. I can say that there are so many challenges that came our way, so many obstacles and trials that tested our friendship but no dilemma ever destroyed our camaraderie with each other. We treated each other like a sister. We considered Mrs. Sardua as our mother. Doing things with Gabriel is really fun. We can easily relate with one another. Gabriel really means something to me. Our relationship with each other is special. We’re not just friends. We’re more than friends. Moving on, really, is hard to do. Adjusting to adjustments is really so hard. Talking to someone you barely know is awkward. With Gabriel, I can do whatever I want, knowing my limitations. Sometimes, I feel unease with my new classmates. I think, it’s because we’re only together for a short time. I think it’s really the time to move on. I can’t, but I must.

Time Flies So Fast

Now a days, I really believe in the saying “Time flies so Fast.” You would not notice that the first week of my second year in Assumption Iloilo had gone by like a wind in the beach. I can say, it was a great week. Day one started its greatness. When I entered my school last June 7, I was quite shy. I didn’t go outside my car first. I searched for my friends or even my classmates last school year but I haven’t seen one. So, I stayed in my car, fixed my hair and waited for my friends. I waited and waited for about 20 mins inside but I saw no one but other year level learners. I patiently remained in my car. When I went down already, I was very in high spirits to see my clique. I went to them and hugged each one of them because we really haven’t seen each other for about 2 months while waiting for my other best friends. I was blissful to hear that they were all okay and enjoyed their summer but bad news came when we went inside the St. Anne’s Hall. It was that moment when we knew that we would be separated from each other and only 4 of us, from our group, was in St. Catherine and others were all strangers. I meant, yes, I know them in name but not from top to bottom. When we finally went to our respective classrooms, my first reaction was “Ohhh my. Who are these people?!” I really don’t know some of my classmates know because we weren’t classmates last year and for some, I knew them with their first names but not in manners and etc. I wanted to cry at first because I really don’t know them and in Filipino, hindi ko talaga sila “feel”. I don’t know why but I truly can’t feel comfortable with them. But I tried my best to get to know them. Second day came. It was still the “get to know you” day. It’s really hard for me and my other best friends to adjust to our new sections. It’s difficult to adjust to our new classroom, to our new classmates who we will spend our 10 months together. I find it easy for me to adjust to my new class adviser because Mr. Guintivano and Mrs. Sardua is kinda like the same. The way they talk and etcetera. The best thing I like most about Sir is his very happy disposition and his always smiling face. Second day, we chosen our new set of class officers and I was one of them. I was elected as our class secretary. Good thing that my assistant was also my good friend since grade 3 so, with no trouble, we got along with each other. We had our whole level mixing after recess and we had fun. For all of us, we took advantage of our mixing to get together again as Gabriel, Micheal and Raphael but also cooperated with the games and activities. In the afternoon, we had our Student’s Hour and really had fun. The LCBA really provided us with great games and really ensured that we had fun even if we ourselves didn’t play. Third day came. It was the first day that we finally met our subject facilitators and got to know them once more. We took part in games and assigned groups. Fourth day entered and exited smoothly. A number of of our subject facilitators already gave us their first lessons and had our regular class however there are several that we first oriented with the subject. It was like yesterday that we just met our new sections but when Friday came, it was like we knew each other and been with one another for more than three months already. I widened my circle of friends and made new ones. I can say that I am already “close” with others even though we’re not classmates last year. Friday went with a bang. We played a game with Mr. Secular and it was indeed amusing and as well, let us learned things about others. Before we went home, Mr. Guintivano talked to us about our misunderstanding with our facilitator. It was really a great misapprehension because we didn’t really understand the side of our teacher. So when Sir conversed to us about this matter, we realized it was our mistake. I can’t blame this on one classmate because I believe that the fault of one is the fault of all for the reason that we are one as a section. So, we express regret for that mistake we have made. This week gave me so many realizations that can change me for the better. One is that you should understand first the side of a person before judging him or her because as we all know, all our judgements are not always exact and sometimes, these can lead to nuisance and misunderstandings. Next, we should always be open to all and sundry so that we can expand our circle of friends. We should also know others before judging them because not all first impressions are correct and we should not judge others with their physical appearances. Lastly, we should always make a good first impression because most impressions last a lifetime. Now, with all these learnings and experiences, I can say that my first week in school was indeed fun and unforgettable.
