I have a good life with my Grandparents since I was a child because my mother and father are separated. My Grandparents raised me and my older sister and brother so well. They gave us a happy life where every child wants to. They provide us everything they can give especially the unconditional...

Fulfillment of my dream

  What is your dream? Or maybe a better question to start this essay is, how are you going to achieve your dream? Since this is my work, I will be the one who will answer it. My dream is to become a successful businesswoman; I could say that I already succeed if I have my own house, a car and a good future for my younger siblings. How am I going to do it? First, by finishing this course and make the most possible things I can do after I graduated. But things won’t be that simple.

  I made a lot of mistakes as a daughter, a sister and a granddaughter to my relatives. And there is only one thing that I regret in my life. When I let my sister to choose this course without my consent. But she is the one who's supporting me when it comes to my studies so there is nothing I can do but to obey her.

  As a graduating student, I still do not know where to put my feet after I finish schooling. Different choices are running in my mind like, am I still going to continue this path? Or I should pursue the thing that I wanted since then. Or if I run my own business, am I capable to do stuffs like others?

  Even if those questions keep bugging me every time, at least I know to myself that I have to finish what I have started. Anything could be hard for anyone if they are doing what they do not like, but I do not know what tomorrow brings so I will push harder to let myself know what I should do or what am I capable of.

  I still cannot see success in this path but I know that there is an ending to this journey where I will just sit and relax as I watch my achievement that I have done. I know I’m still million miles away from it, but the good thing is... I keep moving.

The UNEXPECTED (Short Story)

I had never felt that ecstatic to wake up early in the morning ever before, I was in fact waiting for the clock to tick 5 am, this confusing change in my daily routine was because of the school’s picnic trip. Definitely this is the same “butter fly in the stomach” kind of feeling every one experienced in their school days whenever their school laid a platform for anything other than academics. I call it a confusing change because I remember my dad freaking out looking at me getting ready thinking that he would be late to the sweets shop which he once owned. It was around 6:45 am when we reached the gate of my school. There were my other friends present already ,as I closed by there was my one of my friend named Kevin, if I’ve recalled it appropriately, he steps close to me and tells me this agonizing news about the bus which is going to be 1hr late, I was like, there you go all my efforts put to wake up early went in vain, to be honest I dint even sleep that night. Never the less I had enough time to imagine about my picnic, I was imagining myself playing in the small beautiful water fall spot which they promised to take us. I was even cursing the driver for being late inspite of being ignorant about the real cause for the delay. Every time a vehicle honked, I was expecting the bus to show up but it never did. I eventually got bored waiting for the bus. I saw couple of my friends playing WWE card game so I interrupted my dad who was speaking to a fellow father and told him to find me there with my friends playing. It was a tricky time I was about to lose the game and I somehow had to slip away from this, I still don’t get it why I was so reluctant to face failing situations. To my luck it was our school bus that saved me from that dishonor. My dad who was on the phone just then cut call called me in a plain voice and I headed towards him, I told him that I would behave properly thinking that he had called for warning me about the picnic mishaps but no!, he told me that I wasn’t going to the picnic. I was broke immediately he said that, before anything ran down my eyes he pulled me towards home. Now this was confusing because it was dad who gave the consent for the picnic when my mom was against it. We reached home still couldn’t find courage to ask him why he did that because he seemed a bit upset. For my surprise it was my mom who was ready with an airbag as if we were heading to our native. I remember my dad packing a few things, i could also see that his eyes were soaking wet, then my mom holds my hand and says this “your granny is no more”. Things I had expected and what unexpected I get.

My Ideal School

My ideal school must have knowledgably and motivated teachers who know how to effectively communicate their knowledge in the classroom. Knowing the information means nothing if the teacher is not able to communicate this information to the students. In my ideal school a good teacher takes the knowledge and presents it in such a way that the students will readily understand it and be able to utilize the information. On the other hand, a bad teacher will make it almost impossible to understand even the simplest things.

My ideal school would be consisting of a really good learning environment where students want to learn and teachers want to teach. It would be a diverse school with students of different cultural backgrounds builds on respect for one another. I have always admired and respected people of various cultural backgrounds and I would like to learn from my fellow students as well as my teachers.

In my ideal school the teachers will seek to find new and interesting ways to present material to the students (even on an individual basis), and they will help to motivate their students and show them that the material they are learning is relevant. The most important responsibility of a teacher in my ideal school will be to ensure high academic achievement for all students.

In conclusion my ideal school will consist of students who want to learn and teachers who want to teach. This school will be a partnership between the students and the teachers. It will be a positive and friendly environment for everyone involved and everyone who is there will want to be there.

My Own Poem (Helping Friend)

I have something that I want to say  That will help you at a later day.

To help you know how to deal  With something that takes time to heal.

See I have problems, more than most  Problems that I don’t like to boast. 

So I will help you understand  How to help those with the problem at hand. 

When they’re screaming at you, one thing you shouldn’t say  Is how they’re over reacting, or that it’s okay.

When they’re in the middle of an outburst  Telling them to stop, only makes it worse.

Most of the time, they don’t want to be touched  So don’t hold them, unless it’s in a clutch. 

When they scream and yell at you, they most likely don’t mean it  So don’t take it to heart, since it’ll be fine after a bit. 

Those are just a few tips on helping a friend.  So remember these words, and have a hand to lend.

Because when times pass from the sad and blue  They’ll remember that you helped them through.

My Own Poem (Hope Misses You No More)

Dull eyes seek out  Such a beautiful world, no doubt  but nothing I see is worth talking about.

Look into the sky, there's no end  and I can't figure out what my life is going toward  I just have so many people pushing me forward  and I fear that…

What I leave behind I might forget, That what I had before was the best of it all  maybe that's why everything in front of me is so dull.

I'll miss it all, but I already do  I can't stop myself from leaving you’ There's no good in this life as long as there's goodbye  and I'm afraid of that day you'll die.

I'll never know where you are  This is the first time I've had to worry before  I have no interest in my life anymore.

And I can see this world pass me by  if I don't convince myself to get up and try; Do my best in this boring life  and savor each breath before I die,... but why? 

I look to the sky every day,  the sun's shining but there's no light I crave; These days are passing way too slow  and I long for a moment I won't miss you anymore.

My Own Poem (HE’s on your side)

Through the ups and downs, Through the smiles and frowns, Through the laughs and strife  GOD gives life.

He also gives friends  Through the thick and thin, You can depend on them  Everything to him.

When you need to talk They're a dial away. Hold hands and walk If a mile away.

Year to year; and day to day  April, June, and May, Life can bring pain  Life can take much; not giving gain.

Through the downs and ups  The tear filled cups The smirks just up When the going got tough  True love is enough. For this and that; for all that stuff.

So never ever forget  Real trust; no counterfeit  By forgetting the real; you won't prosper one bit. I said all this to say; sincerely not clever  GOD is love; and true friends are forever.

I am Verna Delos Santos. I am twenty and young. I am simple. I am optimistic. I am fun and crazy at times. I am a lover and a fighter. I am a best friend, daughter, sister, aunt,   granddaughter, a girlfriend. I am the girl you can talk to about anything.

I have a good life with my Grandparents since I was a child because my mother and father are separated. My Grandparents raised me and my older sister and brother so well. They gave us a happy life where every child wants to. They provide us everything they can give especially the unconditional love and care. We are so lucky to have them as our Grandparents. A home to me is where the heart is, not just a building, but where my family is. A home can be anything in anyone eyes. I am a graduating college student now; I’m taking up Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education Major in Preschool at Colegio de San Lorenzo. I love kids that’s why I chose to be field of teaching. I know that this will complete my existence. Everyone has many strengths, talents, and gifts. I’m a great friend and good at making new friends. I know I’m also good at teaching and counseling, mostly kids. I love reading books, any genre because for me every single story is important. The things I need to work on, also known as my weaknesses are mostly my anger, depression, and trust. I’m the kind of person who can easily trust to anyone but never fail me because everything will change in every way. It’s my personality, so I would not change it to please others, it’s ME. Every day is a new day with me, a fresh start with every rising sun. I live each day step by step as if it’s my last. I believe God gives me the strength to make it through every obstacle thrown in front of me. To be happy in my future, I believe first I need to graduate and find a job. The main thing for my future is to never stop believing in myself and to keep my head up no matter what happens. I know that as long as I focus and do what’s best for me, my future will be filled with as much happiness as I can fill it with. Success is a hard to word to define, because you are as successful as you make yourself. Like if I want to be a teacher, then success would be to follow my dream and really work hard for it. Failure doesn’t mean you aren’t or couldn’t be successful; it just means to try hard till you succeed in life. In my life I have been given many things and not just material things either. My family has shown me so much and love is the number one thing I am most grateful for. There are many things I am grateful for at the end of the day; like my life style, my family and friends. I’m also thankful for my health, home, good life and never ending love and care from my family. I can honestly say that there’s so much things I’m grateful for that I can’t name everything.
