10th Meeting Journal Entry

My funny experience about negative peer pressure is when i am 13 yrs. old and my friends and I are playing at the rooftop of my friend's house and they're trying to jump off from the rooftop until the ground and they did it simultaenously all of them have jump except me and then my friends told me to jump because they know i can do it but im a little bit scared of it because its a long run..

i told my friends that i can't do it and then they said that if they can do it so do I, so i jump off the rooftop and guess what, I broke my left foot its so painful that i can't breathe for about 10 seconds... then i called a " manghihilot " to massage my left foot and fortunately my foot got healed up so fast and now i can jump off to that rooftop again and broke my right foot,, nahh just joking...

6th meeting journal entry

Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb. If the vast majority of the world's scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have ever experienced.

If that sounds like a recipe for serious gloom and doom -- think again. From director Davis Guggenheim comes the Sundance Film Festival hit, AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, which offers a passionate and inspirational look at one man's fervent crusade to halt global warming's deadly progress in its tracks by exposing the myths and misconceptions that surround it. That man is former Vice President Al Gore, who, in the wake of defeat in the 2000 election, re-set the course of his life to focus on a last-ditch, all-out effort to help save the planet from irrevocable change. In this eye-opening and poignant portrait of Gore and his "traveling global warming show," Gore also proves himself to be one of the most misunderstood characters in modern American public life. Here he is seen as never before in the media - funny, engaging, open and downright on fire about getting the surprisingly stirring truth about what he calls our "planetary emergency" out to ordinary citizens before it's too late.

9th Journal Entry

A responsible person should do the following

When you agree to do something, do it. If you let people down, they'll stop believing you. When you follow through on your commitments, people take you seriously.

Answer for your own actions. Don't make excuses or blame others for what you do. When you take responsibility for your actions you are saying "I am the one who's in charge of my life."

Take care of your own matters. Don't rely on adults to remind you when you're supposed to be somewhere or what you're supposed to bring. You take the responsibility.

Be trustworthy. If somebody trusts you to borrow or take care of something, take care of it. If somebody tells you something in confidence, keep it to yourself. It's important for people to know they can count on you.

Always use your head. Think things through and use good judgment. When you use your head you make better choices. That shows your parents they can trust you.

Don't put things off. When you have a job to do, do it. Doing things on time helps you take control of your life and shows that you can manage your own affairs.

8th Meeting Journal Entry

I've chosen the challenge of returning the recovered things, i went to the SM because i need to buy my clothes i bought some shirts at the Penshoppe then when i am going to go to the fitting room there was a cellphone hanging at the back of the door where i was trying wear a shirt, at first i ignored it because im busy trying some clothes then after i finish buying i'ce taken the phone and told the salesman near me about the phone because someone must have forgotten it before me and they said luckily i was the one who found it and i am grateful that time because that is the most honesty i did in my entire life..

P.S the phone is expensive but the word steal never came in my mind because i have other thoughts in my mind and i don't care about the phone anyway... ^^

“The Most Challenging Thing I have ever Accomplished”

The Most Challenging Thing I Have Ever Accomplished is When i Finished Or Training In our C.A.T because We've Been Trained for 1 year and we have been like suffered for almost a year because of those push ups, squats and lots of exercises within the whole year and fortunately when we're at the Hellday ( Graduation Day For The Incoming Officers ) we accomplished it and i almost cried that night because remembering those suffering got paid off..



4th Meeting journal entry

1.

By looking back at the list of my positive characteristics and qualities, i've realized that i only not have to say it but also do it in actual life because all of those characteristics is just easy to say but we can't do it that easy as we can say it...

2.

I believe the saying “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” because that is one of my practices in my life, and i have a sense of gratitude to my friends and all other people who did something good to me.. Aside from that when i have given a wrong answer atleast they did not make me feel so wrong and to my professors they can make my answers not wrong or consolation to my answer,when i'm expressing my opinion during class or group discussion i would like to be respected on my opinion and so i would do the same for them, when i commit mistake they would understand....

On the second day I practiced this personal value called "skill" because in this time of my life the skills i have learned in high school will put to the test like doing math problems, comprehension, writing an essay and everything else and i know that i need to enhance this skills so that my performance in the class will always be good. . .
The first day in MCL i practiced Friendship because i need to be friendly and get to know with my new classmates because if you're not friendly enough and hard to approach it will be hard to study in some ways because we all in the class must be friendly...

3rd Meeting guide questions for journal entry

I would choose my outstanding virtue is the "Toughness" because right now in my college life there will be lots of trials and " pagsubok " being tough means it cannot break easily by some problems.. cause i have to be independent in some ways like my parents said because being in college is the preparation in my future life depends on how am i gonna do right now...

2nd Meeting journals

1. How was your first week of stay at MCL?

My first week was great but still i need to have an adjustment to the people around me and with my daily because in my current stage this is not a high school life anymore this a stage that people needs to be independent and how we communicate with people around us so maybe ill just have to adjust and hopefully i pass all of my courses...^^


2. Describe your professors. What are traits do you find positive in each one?

Well all of my professors are very patient and understanding when it comes to discussing and quizzes they're so generous because that they sometimes exempt us in our seatworks and quizzes and sometimes they are giving us a consideration. . .


3. Describe your blockmates/section. What do you think are the strengths and weaknesses of your section?

In our section we used to get to know each other that fast because most of us are so sociable and all are easy to approach , luckily i am part of this section and i dont have any regrets studying at mcl...

i think our section's strength is we can easily communicate with each other and help whos in need but then our weaknesses is that we're always that noisy and stubborn that the profs couldnt stand sometimes hope they wont scold us that much..


4. How do you find your courses? Which ones do you think are easy and which ones do you think are a little bit challenging? Why?

All of my courses doesnt need to be taken for granted because we need to focus on every subject, especially "Math" because we are all incoming engineers and still i find that kinda challenging for me because actually i really like math but i always find it hard.. i dunno why... ^^



5. Do you have any adjustment you feel you are going through or must go through? What are they? Cite examples in terms in your academics, emotions, and social environment.

I think i need to adjust a little bit in terms in my academics, i need to strive harder to get a passing grade try not to disappoint my parents .. in terms of my emotions is sometimes i need to accept things in more complicated way and lastly in my social environment i must have an adjustment that i need to choose my friends in a way that they will not do anything that can ruin our studies but will make us do right things...

What Is The Importance Of Values Education

Values education is 1 of the most important course in all school curriculum because in that subject we can learn a lot of things that we need to enhance our moral in our life because i think good moral is one factor to get this nation a good and success not only in our country but with ourselves.Without values education maybe we'll have a wrong thinking about the things in our environment like example its not really the president of the Philippines fault that makes our economy getting worse and worse at all but we don't know that we, too, the citizens of the country should be blamed for it because we only criticize the works of our higher officials and we always want the president change from time to time...

Without values education maybe we could not be a good moral person like we are now..

My First Few Days At MCL

At first its kinda hard to adjust to the people around you because way back in highschool we're just 13 in our class and our school campus is small so i need have an adjustment but then right now days passed im getting used to it already, i know i just need some time not to get so shy and get to know all of my classmates..

Well compared to my highschool life, my highschool days is the best of all because we did a lot of good times there with my friends,schoolmates and also our teachers.. Though in highschool u dont need to be that serious to get a passing grade, to tell you honestly and im sure all of us knows that, because in highschool we can cut class or just borrow your classmate's notebook and copy his assigments.. But here at MCL don't show yourself to your professor like 3 or more meetings and you'll drop..

For me i think college life is just a new chapter in our life to think that we dont like to do similar things we do in highschool life because we'll just waste our money time and effort if you dont take college seriously so for me i really have to do my best and be don't take this college life lightly...
