No Regrets!

Making big decisions in life needs time to be pondered on. It should not be easily decided. It needs a long and deep critical thinking for us to be able to weigh each of the consequences that may be present when we made a decision. We should consider all the negative and positive effects that it may cause us especially in our life. We should know our priorities and values. And with that, we will be able to make a good decision which can lead us to a successful future.

Being a high school student in Cavite National Science High School has not been very easy for me. There are a lot of expectations from everyone that I need to achieve. I had made a lot of decision-makings before I finally decided to pursue my studies here in this school. At first, I had many hesitations on studying on this school. But as I continue my life here as a student, I had learned a lot of things that made me a better person. And due to that, I decided to continue my studies here in this school because I believe that this school will continue molding me as a matured, responsible, independent and successful person. I believe that this school will help me achieve my dreams and and to become a successful person someday. And I do believe that this institution really helped me in shaping my personality as a whole because of the changes that happened to me. And I am thankful to be in this institution because it has been a great opportunity for me to improve myself than before. I wish that all the other students here would also be shaped and influenced by the school's discipline.

And with that experience, I am hoping that others would also take decision-making seriously. Because I believe that our future life depends on our decisions today and on the future. So be careful in making your own decisions in life and always weigh consequences accurately for making a decision is building your own future.

Salute to the Fallen 44

According to Hercules, "A true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but  by the strength of his heart." A hero is not someone who is just powerful. He's not the one who has magical powers and infinite strength. Thus, a hero is an ordinary person who finds the strength in his heart to pursue and endure in spite of many obstacles. 

Heroes are heroes themselves because of their incomparable good deeds. They are heroes not because they want fame but because they want to help others. They are heroes because they were able to do things what others can't do. They are heroes because they can endure pain which other's cannot. They are heroes because they are ready to sacrifice what they have. In short, they are heroes because they are themselves. They are the people who have those unique characteristics. They are the Fallen 44. They are those who sacrificed themselves in order to achieve their success in their mission. They are those who gave their lives in order to save other's. They are those who were self-less when they became heroes. 

For me, heroes like them should be honored and remembered. They should be thanked for all those concerns that they had given us. And because of that, I give my salute to them. I admire how brave they were when they fought for the whole country. I admired how they were eager to continue the fight even if there's a big possibility that they could not go back to their homes anymore. I admire all of their deeds. I know how hard it was for them to be away with their family. I know how painful it was for them when they were unable to escape their duty. I know how much they endured the pain for the whole country. But I didn't know why their destinies were planned to end in such a tragic way. I feel sorry for them and for their family. I feel sad for those whom they left. I feel bad for what happened to them. But I know that there's a way for me, for us, for everyone to assure that what they died for won't be ignored. We should continue what they started and win the fight for them. We should help everyone in order to achieve their goal for the country. We should not let them down. We should not forget them and their deeds and instead, remember and honor them for the rest of our lives. Again, let's give our salute for the Fallen 44!
