  At the beginning of classes in Grade 9, I didn’t know what to expect from the new normal education, I had difficulties trying to comprehend the lessons my teachers gave me, because of the lack of guidance and the overall classroom atmosphere, it was a very stressful and lonely experience, although I still gained a lot of knowledge and ideas in the teaching-learning system we had. Now in the first months of Grade 10, I already have experiences from the previous year, now I knew what to expect and what’s to come.   The first quarter of my final Junior High School journey was very similar to the ninth grade, having the knowledge and expectations, let’s just say the challenges were a bit lighter this time around. In this year Google Meets and consultations were a lot more common, giving us a great head-start on what to expect from a lesson, our teachers also gave us more time to do our work, by extending their deadlines, and the workload and tasks they gave were a bit easier...

Rodrigo Roa Duterte Malacañang Palace,  San Miguel, Manila Dear President Duterte,                          A lovely day to you sir president, I am sending you this letter because I want to tell you how grateful I am to be a Filipino citizen in your term of presidency, I also want to express my issues and concerns during your term as the Philippine president.           First thing’s first, I am pleased that your War on Drugs is turning out quite well, even though the drugs in the country isn’t fully gone, your administration still did quite well, but you should know that violent isn’t always the best choice in winning wars, this war is no exception, instead of guns and blood, you could also conduct guidance programs that aims to alter the perceptions of reality of drug addicts for the better.       ...

Birds singing melodies, branches crackling and leaves rustling, settling down in the balcony sipping lukewarm white coffee watching the flaming sphere rise, this is my ideal morning to start a great day. Oh, my bad! I haven’t introduced myself yet, the name’s Ryan Matthew Reyes Vera Cruz, you may call me Matt or Ram, I am currently 15 years old, I am my hobbies are playing video games with my friends and the boys and listening to music, my favorite color is orange, because it reminds me of the bright burning passion of hope that the sun brings, and it inspires me to ignite as bright.  We just scratched the surface, there is much more to learn about me! I am not going to lie, but I am awful at socializing with random people, that’s why I tend to get nervous and forget what I am saying, I love to learn and study topics about science and computers, I find them very interesting!
