Smiles behind their Sufferings

Resilience is an ability to coup up with adversities. It is a way to heal a traumatic incident encountered by individuals that gave them an overwhelming fear. Having it means you are capable of overcoming changes in a diversity. It can mean that resilience is an invisible shield made out of spirit. A spirit to face life's hardships with boldness and courage.

Since Philippines is known for being a disaster prone country, The people living within it is known for being resilient. They are tested by countless calamities like volcanic eruptions, devastating earthquakes, and typhoons. Not just that, they are also surmounted these ordeals and pains like lost of innocent children and the spreading of crisis. But Filipinos never thought of giving up by these problems for it is unavoidable. They continued to live to withstand the flow of these challenges even if they are daunted by horrible scenes because Filipinos are strengthened by their unwavering faith in God.

Being resilient is not only about being strong, but it is also based on how you treat people. We can see resilience everywhere and we think about it everyday. It is being optimistic all time in the hour of darkness. I believe that Filipinos may stumble and fall but through the what you called "bayanihan" they will bounce back with their own might. The greatest resilience is life,it will give you a path through the greatest hardship. That's why you should practice being fearless and tough by finding a way to make the impossible things to possible things.

Epilogue on First Quarter

In the first two and a half months of learning with Ma'am Vera Cruz, I learned a lot of things that are not familiar with me. Especially the parts wherein the famous people's contribution in the creation of internet and blogging. Of course, my writing skills were  enhanced through the activity given by our dear teacher. I managed to create articles because of blogging and my self-confidence was boosted. And now I can voluntarily share my thoughts and opinions through commenting their works.

 Yes, there are a lot of problems I encountered in the following months. Specifically in creating the first task. I was nervous before, I can't control my emotions. I didn't know what to do. But when Ma'am Vera Cruz taught us , I was able to do some drafts by my own self. As time passes by we were able to master blogging. But our main problem is time management. There are a lot of requirements, in different subjects with the same deadlines. Of course it's hard but we managed to passed it on time. 

Therefore, the first grading period was challenging and fun. I was given a chance to improve myself more and more great. Moving on, I will share my ideas and knowledge what I absorbed  in the class.
