ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS

Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ. A time for us to understand the lessons from Jesus & reflect on them. Jesus brought a new religion based on love & the vision of a God who is full of compassion & forgiveness; a vision of doing everything with a positive mindset & from a place of love.

In today’s day and time, it is easy to lose sight of the true meaning of Christmas. Amidst the delicious meals, sweet drinks, lovely songs & dances, beautiful friends & family members we would come across this season, let’s try not to forget about the child, born on a winter night so cold, whose bed was made only of hay & animal food; our lord Jesus Christ, who taught us all what real, genuine & unconditional love is. As we celebrate the birth of our saviour, let’s be human & kind enough to remember & show some love to those motherless babies, helpless orphans, hospital patients, prisoners, beggars & all those who are not fortunate enough to be actively involved in the celebration of the birth of our lord and saviour Jesus Christ.
Happy Christmas.

          My teacher is a hero because she teaches me a lot.She is supportive and very sincere.She is very nice and fun to be with.Sometimes she is like my mom because she is someone who can understand me.She is like a star in the night guiding my way not to be lost and became a better person.She always teaches us a good moral lesson.Like a hero,my teacher always helps me whenever i have problems in our subject especially in Math and she will sincerely help me with no doubt.A hero is someone who helps people.Even though I'm in high school now,she will still noticed me and invited me with my friend in their house to eat because for me a hero is someone who doesn't change.I really like my teacher.For me,she is the best teacher that I ever had.When we're acting for the role,when I was elementary and I was too shy that time.She hugged and comforted me and she said that you can do it.For me, she is the only teacher who hugged me just to help me relax. And even though I said I can't and I don't have any experience regarding that contest but still she always encouraged me. That is the best thing that my teacher has.She pulls her students up and helps them rise whenever they are down. I admire her for that. I know that being a teacher is really hard because you will always meet people with different faces and attitudes that can really make you tired. Though that is her case, she always give her leisure time to us just to have conversation and tell some stories with her on many things. She is really a positive person. She is so friendly not only with me but to other's also. She always smile and laugh whenever we have jokes to tell. She may not be like those superheroes on television who have super powers,but for me she is not only a superhero but a friend that can be trusted. She will always be my superhero and she will always be the best teacher in the world no matter what.

     In August, the Philippines celebrates Filipino as its national language. During this National Language Month, school activities focus on speaking Filipino and on Philippine culture.

     While people in different parts of the Philippines speak an estimated 171 native languages or dialects, all schoolchildren learn Filipino, which was designated as the national language by the constitution of the Philippines in 1987. Speaking a common national language allows those in the Philippines to express themselves as a people of one nation.

      Although the Filipino language is the main cause for celebration during this month, Philippine culture and traditions are also celebrated. The big events of the celebration take place during National Language Week (August 13-19), and are usually organized by all public and private schools, involving performances and contests participated in by students of all ages. Below are some of the common activities in schools during National Language Week:Sabayang Pagbigkas,Philippine National Costumes,Poster and Poem Contests.
