Life in a Decade and a Half

-

   As a grade 10 student going into Senior High School, it is very common to start thinking of the future. Our future careers, life plans, goals, and even love lifes. All those, a constant part of imagining the future.  

     As for me, I'd answer the question "How do you see yourself 15 years from now?" with a simple "I don't know". Today at 16, my mind is constantly worrying about the life I have lived. What will happen to the memories I've cherished, if one day I am gonna sleep eternally?. Others are thinking  of their careers and dreams, and I try to do that, but how can I, when every passion and talent I have has already slipped pass my grasp? Everyone seems to have come up with a first and second plan, but here I am rotting away with my fleeting emotions.

    On a serious note, I wish to study Dermatology, but even that is unsure. I'd like to think that I would already be a licensed Dermatologist, relaxing and enjoying check ups with clients. A nice house bigger than the ISNHS building would be a dream. Having a sports car and a sports bike. 

Such big dreams, for someone who don't even strive and work for it. How pathetic.. In 15 years I want to change, I want to stop being binded by my thoughts that consume my whole existance liks it has no bounds. How can a man fly, if you had clipped off his wings?

       In 15 years, I imagine myself strolling in San Francisco. Enjoying the warm gaze of the sun,  the cool breeze of seasons passing through my skin. By that time, I may have already married the man of my dreams. Getting married not later than 30 would make me at ease. A child or two seems reasonable, but it will be painful.

        Life is such a complex matter, even the future makes it fearful. In a decade and a half, many things will change. Some much more expected than the others. In a life where the future is uncertain, and the past is knowledge, Right now I want to enjoy the gift given by the almighty, the present. 15 years is short, so I must lead on the battle of the future with optomism and resilience.

Durinng this quarter, I have learned many things with my classmates and ma'am Evelyn!!! Our first lesson was about the HTML Tags. We mostly used a hands-on learning setting. Using the computers available we learned how to use different tags that are used in coding and also learned tables. One example for this is the <html> tag used in all coding activities we did, and is vital to every one of them. I also learned that HTML tags aren't case sensitive. So if I accidentally type <HTML> it is still fine. In addition, I also learned that there is no such thing as an </br> tag during one of my exams! Fun right? During the making of the activities called "excer", I mostly struggled with typing. As I am not a fast typer when it comes to different keyboards except my own. The spacing of the computers also made it so that my long arms were uncomfortable during typing. Both of this combined is the reason I am mostly the last one to finish in my group. My group ...

    Today the Philippines is one of the countries still considered to be a 3rd world country nation. Although a very rich country filled with numerous resources, its politicians, government, and people, all contribute to its inability to rise as an economy and nation. The Philippines has endured and lived through  challenges which affect their conditions of life. From natural disasters, economic crises and political instability. These challenges have proven and shown that the resilience of the country and its people, the Filipinos, has shown both our strengths and weaknesses.         For a brighter future, it is essential to think what actions can create to build a more resilient Philippines, one that is capable of solving problems flawlessly and the challenges that lie ahead. An important factor to consider and focus on is disaster preparedness and response. The Philippines is located in a region highly susceptible to nat...
