Tearless Memories

I never forget
The memories in the past that I get;
Moments remain in the mindset,
When happiness and sadness have met.

Lola’s store was the first place,
Where I and my cousin got packs of Ace;
Lola suddenly saw us and did a chase,
As we did this for more than two days.

To my cousin’s house, we then went to sing,
To forget what we did to the store of Lola Turing;
One’s turn suddenly led into boxing
Because of the delayed song choosing.

Again, the next day, we were together
With other cousins and went to the river;
Playing tadpoles but here came my father,
I run but slipped and thought my life was over.

Another day, I saw a dog eating something,
That time, I didn’t know what I was thinking;
I planned to throw that something away and bring
Cleanliness but sad to say, the dog, on me, was biting.

I started to study in school one year after,
But being naughty was not yet over;
Cut classes to slide on mountains with laughter,
But punishment from parents then came later.

What a sad yet funny experience
To treasure for future’s good sense;
I’ll share them to make them dense,
And protect them by a strong fence.

If Analysis

Leadership for Betterment

It is true that you must trust yourself that you can make it for the better. You must not trust a person directly but you must trust yourself first since you do not know that the person you trusted is doubt about what he said or did.

Being a humble person is good. We must not make revenge to the person who hates us. It is because if we make revenge towards that person, it can make chaos among people surrounding us. So, we must avoid having revenge to avoid having chaos. We must also have our own principles that we do not easily believe what people had said. We must also not be too proud to ourselves that we brag that we know more than what they know. If that’s what you think that you know more than what they know, it’s not good because they also know other things which you don’t know.

Never losing hope is also a good idea to have. Even we encounter different problems; we must think that we can solve it. If you are down, never lose hope to strive and work hard to improve your life.  In games, if you lose it, try and practice more for the better and time will come that you can win the game.

All these characteristics are needed to be a good leader since leadership needs good values and characteristics. A leader must have these characteristics in order him to be followed by other people. It’s because if you lack of these values, people around you will hesitate to follow and believe you. We all have the capacity to be a good leader. So, we must acquire and have all these characteristics to be what we want, a GOOD LEADER..!

Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard Analysis

Life Has End

We all know that everything in this world will end, either living or non-living things. Human will end their lives in a specific time. Animals and plants too are engaged to end their lives. Even non-living things like buildings, they will end. Some of them crack because of the years or the period they had been built.

We must enjoy life to the fullest but in meaningful ways. It is because we do not know the time when we are going to be engaged to death. We must do all important things we need to do for our better lives. We must remember that we are going to be put in graves when we are dead. We must give our best to all. We must not ignore to help other people because in times of we need help, they will also help us in return.

We must accept opportunities that came to our lives and strive hard for better future. We should face the challenges of life, not just to surrender our lives. All of us must use our time wisely giving our lives a meaning. While we are still living in this world, we must enjoy doing good things for ourselves and for others, and so, we can gain happy moments. We must also be fair to others since we will all reach the time of death. So, we enjoy life to the fullest..!

Why did students get low grades?
Is it because students don't learn?
Or is it because teachers don't know how to teach?

The Whistle Analysis

Life First Before Pleasure

This text conveys to us that we must think of the importance of life, not thinking all about for fun or pleasure. Like in the story, he bought a thing, a whistle, by all his money without thinking that if he bought a whistle seriously and mindedly, he could buy four whistles. But he used his money to buy for only one since it gives him fun. He is being charmed by the sound of the whistle as another boy created a sound using it. He then realized that this thing can cause many undesirable situations. One of these is the disturbance of all the family since a whistle could produce a loud sound. Another is that he could buy other important things if he never pays all his money for only one whistle.

Based on my experience, I also encountered this kind of situation. There was a time that I accompanied my friends watching a movie and so, I had to pay the cost of one ticket for the said movie. The movie cost one hundred fifty pesos. And that, because of my excitement and decision to be with my friends that time, I spent that much. After watching the movie, I suddenly realized that I spent too much. I learned that if I spent the one hundred fifty pesos for food, I could satisfy my hunger that time and that if I was not accompanying my friends, I could go home early and avoid my mother from scolding me.

Now, I suggest and remind everyone that we must use our money and time in good ways. We must use them meaningfully. We must never use all of them only for fun. We must give parts to some important things in our lives like food for healthy body not just all for fun.

The Gift of the Magi Analysis

Give and Receive

As I’ve read the story “The Gift of the Magi”, I found it slightly funny. It’s because they buy things as gifts for their loved ones but these gifts are just wasted. These are wasted just because the things intended for the gifts are the ones they sold just to buy the gift for each other. They loved each other very much. That’s why they found ways like this.

If I were in the situation, I may feel angry to myself for what is done. It is very disappointing to have this kind of situation especially like them who are said to be very poor. Della sold her hair just to buy a fob for the watch of her husband Jim and Jim sold his watch just to buy a comb as a gift for Della. But it is also funny to have this situation since they strive hard for nothing. It is only my opinion since I haven’t encountered this kind of situation.

For the people who encountered the same situation, they commonly got angry to the person intended for the gift since they thought that it was just a waste of money to buy things for nothing. That is why I learned in this story how life is being set to us by God. There are times that because of our wish to have a certain thing, we cannot think of others how and what he or she wish to give to us. Sometimes, we sold our possessions to buy a gift for our loved ones without thinking that our loved ones have something to give intended for our possessions just to make us happy.
