National Career Assessment Examination

         Before, our teacher had told us that we will have the NCAE this second grading. I was shocked because I know that this test is for fourth years. Our teacher had told us that DepEd had moved it to be taken by third year high school. As of this time, I realized that we had this opportunity to be prepared in thinking what course we will take.

         

         On Friday, we have taken the NCAE. The students are arranged alphabetically in each room. I was assigned in Room 4. We are very early in school to get ready. We have waited for our proctor and when she arrived, she introduced herself first. After that, we started to fill up the sheets that will contain information about us. Then, we had started earlier and we have taken each subject. Our proctor is very kind. Some time she is cracking jokes to us.

         We had the test very fast because the other subjects were easy. I had just recalled the past lessons and analyzed each questions. We are just half day. After the test, we had passed the answer sheets and questionnaires. Then, we had dismissed by our proctor.

         Finally, we can go home and rest our tired minds. 

What tree is the same as me?

                 A tree is very important to this world. It is a part of nature that is useful in every living thing.

                 At first, I cannot think of a tree that has characteristics as I have. But I had just asked someone who said that I am like a narra tree because that tree is very strong. A narra tree is useful and cannot be easily destroyed. I realized that narra tree is just like me. I am strong because whenever I have problems, I never give up and never lose hope. Compared to a tree, I am also useful because I am helping those people who need something that I have. I am also giving advice for those people who have problems if they are approaching me. My advice is base from my experience. I am trying things that I can to help people. Compared to a tree, their leaves are dancing with winds like me. I am like those leaves and the winds are like music. I really love dancing because I can express my feeling or emotions through it. Plus, the music comforts me and makes me happy.

                 That’s me, like a narra tree.

Intramurals (2011)

September 16-17 2011, our Intramurals days. Those days we had different sports to play like volleyball, basketball, chess, table tennis etc. Every student was enjoyed playing and watching.

At first, we had a starting program. We listened to our principal’s speech about the things in intramurals. Next, we had watched all models in Mr. and Ms. Physique. After that, we had a competition of cheers in every year level. We had enjoyed every time of the day.

Every batch has different names. The freshmen’s name was Green Chevrolet, sophomores’ name was Yellow Lamborghini, seniors’ name was Blue Porsche, and we, juniors’ name was Red Ferrari. Those names are according to the kind of car. I thought those names are nice and cute. We also had different t-shirts according to batch. It is so cool when I see those different colors of shirt being worn by students while walking.

My sport was basketball. The first game of basketball girls was Chevrolet vs. Ferrari. When we had played, I felt very happy though there are small accidents happened because I can see the sportsmanship and determination in each and every one of us to win in that game. We won at first game and we jumped high because of happiness we felt and of appreciation of the cheers by Red Ferrari. Next, the second game was Porsche vs. Lamborghini. The Porsche won. After that, we have been watching the “lose to lose” game. The Chevrolet won. Then, the “win to win” game was the climax for me. I felt nervous because our opponents are taller than us, but my classmate told me “This game is not about heights of players, it is about the skill and determination of a player”. I entered at third quarter, but I cannot play well because the finger of my right hand was dislocated. When we played, the rain fell, we did not finish the fourth quarter. The teachers had just asked us if we will give the championship to Porsche, then we agreed.

The Intramurals was extended because there is no time for awarding. We had it on Monday morning. Everyone shouted their own cheers. I can see the happiness of the players while they have been receiving awards. And I realized that the places of awards aren’t really matter but at least you gave your best and you are fulfilled playing those sports you love. Those days happened only once in a year and a part of high school life. Those moments are another memory that I’ll treasure forever.
