Tenth Meeting:Dealing With Negative Peer Pressure

.When my "tropa" invite me to go to their house because of their fiesta. I joined with them without telling my parents. Ive lied to them. I told them that I have some important projects to do and it will be passed the next day.
.Somehow I felt ok because my parents will not get mad at me.
.But soon, I realize that Ive done the wrong thing and I promised to myself that I will not tell a lie to them.

Eight Meeting: Honesty

.Telling the truth, returned recovered things, admit mistakes, return excess change, and avoid cheating are the thing that I usually do. Things things are the things that the old ones are always teaching me since I was a child. Even today that I was already a college student our professor always reminding us of HONESTY.
.When ever Ive done all this things I felt proud and happy of myself.
.I realize that whenever you returned things to others it will return to you much good or better.

Seventh Meeting: Respect for Health & Environment

.As I read this article about the effects of smoking and drinking of alcohol, I realize that is not really good for our body. Those persons especially students who are a smoker, their lungs became weak and it can caused a lung cancer. I heard from my friends or other people who are smoking, for them, it is difficult to stop. I cant explain the reason why, but maybe it also like those who are taking drugs.
.In drinking alcohol, it is ok to drink but not too heavy and drink all the time. I confess that I drink alcohol BUT when there is only a special occassions like birthdays. I know to myself that it is not good for my body.

Sixth Meeting: Competence & Excellence

.I take all of the challenge from getting a high score in a quiz or seatwork, to submitting a quality assignment o requirement. But i didnt tell that I perfectly done all this things.
.I tried to do it in every course. I felt happy when Ive done all this things because Im proud that Ive tried to do all this things eventhough it was again my first tym to do it when I entered college.
.My realization is that, all of the things that i should do especially in my studies is to make it perfectly for me to passed make my grades more higher and to make other students be also inspired on what I have done.

The Most Challenging Thing I have Ever Accomplished

The most challenging thing I have ever accomplished..

,,is when I learned to play the keyboard when I was in 2nd year high school. Playing keyboard are one of my instrument that I want to learn to play.

,,is when I graduated from high school years. I was very proud of myself as I step on our stage and got my diploma from our adviser, principal and superior. I was very happy because I will now continue my new stage in life (the college life). Were I will meet new friends, classmates, teachers(so called professors) and new environment.

Fourth Meeting Question

1. Looking back at the list of your positive characteristics and qualities, what do you feel and realize about it?

=>I feel happy and proud of myself about my positive characteristics and qualities. When people are telling me those positive characteristics and qualities of mine, I became so proud of myself because they saw my positive characteristics as a person.
=>I realize that when people saw your positive characteristics and qualities, they see you as their model not scene on tv as a celebrity but as a real person of what you really are and what they have seen.

2. All people in this world commit mistakes. Not all of the people are perfect enough in their life. There are still ups and downs that are happening. When I commit mistakes, I accept it and when someone make sita for what I have done, I also accept it because it is also 4 my own good as a person and maybe it will change me.

3. As part of the community in this school, I will give respect and love to the other part of my community. Ill treat them as a family.

Significant Classroom Experience

.there are things that are significant thing / experience that happened in our classroom.

.the first thing I remembered is that when our teacher in Algebra (Sir Bitor) saw me and my friend talking to each other and nasita niya kami. I was really ashamed of what had happened.
=>my realization is that when someone / somebody is / are talking always try to listen. But when you are not interested to what the person is talking about, just keep quite!

.the second thing I remembered is our First Long Exam(12:30-2:30) also in Algebra. For me, the given questionnaires were really hard to answer. But not also I who said that the test was really hard, but some of my classmates also. After taking the long and hard exam, there are comments I heard from my classmates. Days after the exam our teacher show the answers on the test. Many reactions are heard from my classmates, (shocks! ganun lang pala un?!..).
=>my realization is that, it is not really hard. Just if I listen to what my professor is teaching, study really hard and analyze all the questions carefully, I can answer all the questions given.
