The most important lessons I've learned in ESP 10 are:
Love for God
Love for our country
Valuing Human Life.
I am touched with these lessons. It made me understand God. It made me understand that we should love our country for other nationalities love our country, but we don't. It made me realize how Human life is precious and is a gift from God.
I will apply this learning in my daily life by Praying to God and strengthen our relationship more. Since he knows everything about you and he created you. Since he is your burden bearer and nothing will go wrong if you trust God. After the lesson, I see myself praying more and attending church more often.
I am more aware of what I do and I support our country more. I avoid the sinple things that I do before that disrespect our country like not stopping on what you're doing and singing the national anthem. After the lesson, I see myself being proud of my country and what I am. As a person who is born in Oman and has never went to the Philippines, I don't pay respect to our country before, but after the leason I do, because I realized that it is my country too and I should be proud of it.
I am determined not to waste the gift God gave me which is my life. I realized that life gives you challenges to make you stronger and you should face it and not just give up. You should not do drugs, drink alcohol, smoke, etc. Just because you have a lot of problems. It made me realize that suicide is never the answer and from now on, I will never back down from a challenge.

integrity
Integrity is a personal quality of fairness that we all aspire to — unless you're a dishonest, immoral scoundrel, of course.
Having integrity means doing the right thing in a reliable way. It's a personality trait that we admire, since it means a person has a moral compass that doesn't waver. It literally means having "wholeness" of character, just as an integer is a "whole number" with no fractions.
Integrity is important in today's generation, since we are in a generation that everything is made easy. Where you can access everything in just one click. Where everything relies on technology. It is important, because people are using technology as something to scam/trick people just because of your benefit. We must remember that even if we are in a generation where everything is made easy, we should never forget that we are still humans, not robots. We have morals that differentiate us from animals. We should not scam/trick people online just because they don't know who you are behind the screen. We must always remember to remain honest and transparent. We should always be what we are in front of the person and behind that person.
As a student, I showed integrity and honesty when doing a test. I am a person who's transparent and honest when I did not study, I show it and i don't cheat. As a student, I showed integrity and honesty when I don't like someone(a classmate/teacher), I show it. Why should I hide it and vecome plastic when I know that I don't like them? I am a person who is straightforward and will say the things you don't want to hear(truth)in front of your face.

"Child sexual abuse, also called child molestation, is a form of child abuse in which an adult or older adolescent uses a child for sexual stimulation.[1][2]Forms of child sexual abuse include engaging in sexual activities with a child (whether by asking or pressuring, or by other means), indecent exposure (of the genitals, female nipples, etc.), child grooming, child sexual exploitation [3][4][5] or using a child to produce child pornography.[1][6][7]
Child sexual abuse can occur in a variety of settings, including home, school, or work (in places where child labor is common)."
Src: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_sexual_abuse
I do not approve of such act since
It is immoral
It corrupts the innocent
It takes away the freedom of the child to be happy and free
First of, it is immoral and such act can give you a one-way ticket to jail since it is illegal. Doing such act will not be done by someone who has good morals and has good thinking skills.
Second, it corrupts the innocent because you are taking away their innocence. They can no longer be like normal kids, but instead they will live in constant fear of being engaged in a sexual abuse again.
Third, everybody has their own freedom, but when you engage in such act, you are taking away the child's freedom to be happy. They can no longer play wih other children and when they grow up, they will bring that memory of them being sexually abused and which can lower their self respect and lose their love for themselves.
If I were given a chance to change this, I would increase the security or authorities and catch people who do such act and make sure that they will be given the punishment they deserve. I will rescue as much victims as I can and help them earn respect and love to themselves and make sure they won't feel that they are alone. After all, they are children who doesn't deserve to be treated in that way. They are children who will cherish their happy memories as a child when they grow up. They are children who has a story that not all of the society will understand and will judge immediately. They are children who needs our love, support and our guidance. They are children who needs help.

The movie God is not Dead 2 is about a teacher, Grace, who was sent to court for mentioning God in her class and she ended up winning the trial. My favoruite characteris Grace, because I learned that like in her situation, we are given a challenge where we have to proove that we will still believe in our faith in God. Maybe to others God is dead, because bad stuff happen to them and they question his existence. . All humans have different opinions and beliefs. It won't be right if I forced them to believe in what I believe. After all, God is alive because he is the creator and he guides us to the right path, but he gave us free will so we won't be bound to do what he wants and it's not mandatory. He wants us to write our own stories and to learn new things by our own. In summary, God is not dead and will never be, because he's in our hearts.
(The pictures are my proof that I watched it)

2018 is a year that's full of smiles and tears. I can't believe that the year is actually done. I love the memories I made with people in 2018. A lot has happened. My idols have turned a year older and they won a lot of awards. As a student, I also won stuff and a lot of lesson were learned. It made me realise that time flies by so fast and it's in our hands of we make it last or pass. We should cherish everything at the moment, because we will not be alive forever, so might as well enjoy the life God gave us.
My hopes and dreams in 2019 is for my family to be more healthy, especially my parents. My parents are already 58 years old and I am 16. I wish them a healthy life. I know I've been a hard-headed child and it seems like I don't care at all, but I see their pain and suffering just for me. I wish them a healthy life because I want them to see me be successful and give back to what they gave me. I hope I do better this year.

If I am give a chance to tell my classmates to stop and reflect on a certain habit which I find morally wrong or evil, it will be their habit of picking on people they think are inferior to them. My classmates do talk about you behind your back even if you're are fellow classmate or a teacher or anyone basically. I said so because it's not good to talk to people behind their backs. It's not right for you to be friendly or kind when talking to them directly but you talk bad about them behind their backs. If a person knew that you're talking about them behind their backs, they'll get mad/angry and their confidence and self respect will decrease. I'm not a stranger to this cause I experienced it and I done it as well, but it doesn't mean that it's right. We're all equal individuals, so why can't we just love each other?

Temptations distracts or hinders me to develop a strong conscience as a student because there is a lot of Temptations present to a student like me. Sometimes those Temptations are so big that I tend to get driven by it.
The ways I can do to strengthen my conscience is to always remember what's right and wrong. Also to trust in God. Plus if ever there are bad habits that I so happen to posses, I have to do my best and change it

There is a need to know about different laws that government our existence as human beings since it helps us keep in contact with our sanity. These laws exist based on our what we know is right or wrong. We need to know these different laws since they're there to protect us and to also know what we should or shouldn't do.

If I were to create my own law, it will be about the law to not jump to conclusions without a proper investigation or facts to prove your conclusion. I was thinking of people getting arrested when they're innocent and the people who did the crimes are free. I know it's common sense that we should never jump to conclusions, but as a woman who believes in equality, I am going to make that law.

One act that gives me thrill and fun with my friends is when we watch and read things that we like like return of superman, Web toon, and detective conan. When we talk about things we want like our crushes and what we noticed with our surrounding. These acts are enjoyable since we get to know each other more. As we talk, the trust and our bond gets stronger. We get information and we get to have fun.
I gave money to a beggar I saw in Ghubra when we went there. I also threw my trashes in the right places and I was able to finish all my projects, except for the since we have to perform on Sunday. They were enjoyable like as what I mentioned. They give me the feeling of happiness and contentment, because you get to tell. Yourself that you did something good and with what you did, you won't be a contributor to problems. You get to appreciate what you have more.
As I mature, it means to be happy with one's act when your conscience doesn't tell you that what you did is wrong and that you get to do something good not only for yourself, but for others as well.
A person can achieve true and lasting happiness when they get to do something that is good and for the better for everyone, not just themselves.

"Sow a thought, reap an act; Sow an act, reap a habit; Sow a habit, reap a character; Sow a character, reap a destiny."
Chinese proverb, 19th century.
Blog#4
This verse is true in my life because all the things I do, it starts as thought and then I do them and it becomes a habit when I do it repeatedly and that habit will reflect you and with that it will show what you will be in the future. For example, studying. I think of studying and then I do it. "If you do thing for 27 days straight, it becomes a habit."-Sir Sargento. As it becomes a habit, it reflects who I am. I will be reflected as a studious person and with that character, with that habit, I can use it to go to my destined path. I can use that habit for a good advantage in order to get a good future since we write our own destinies. We make our own path.
With my recent acts, I am headed to my path of becoming a teacher. So close, yet so far away. I said so because, I know that whatever I study today, I can use it when I will teach the future generations like what my teachers did. I can always be prepared for whatever questions they will ask.

I don't think God is inviting me to change my old image him, because I view as a father, my father. I do believe that because he's always there like my father, he supports me and he saves me. With anything wrong that happens.
The image of God I'm being drawn to keep is a Father, because I do believe that he does things that fathers do to their children. He supports us, he protects us, he listens to us, and he saves us. This image of God help me in rendering greater respect and love for others, because I know that I'm not the only child of God, we are all children of God. Plus God created us, therefore we shouldn't hate and disrespect what he created since he created things beautifully and for a reason. Plus there's this quote I always here.
"Love your neighbors like you love yourself"

When I was a child I wasn't really a kid who says po and opo. My mom would get angry and spank me. So whenever I see people older than me, I would always remember my mom and then I would mano say po and opo.
It is significant to me because I was beaten. Joke! 😂😂😂 It is significant to me since as a Filipino, it is in our nature to be respectful. It thought me that we could give respect to a person by simple gestures.
It shaped me as a morally right individual by teaching me that we should give our respects to anyone older or to anyone, because if we don't respect them, they won't respect us too. It is imprinted on my mind that we, young people, should always respect anyone older.

What does it mean to be human?
Being human means you are above the rest of the animals because God gave us the intellect and the free will. We can do things that animals can't do like making decisions, communicating well with others, we know what is right and what is wrong, we learn, etc. We do things based on what we think is right while animals do stuff using their instincts.

What could be the reasons why God created you?
In my opinion, I'm still to young what my mission in this world is, but I think God created me as a normal human being. Not so good, not so bad, just average that people may belittle or look upon, but even if I am created that way, I know that I will work hard in the future and contribute something good to the world and maybe that's why God created me because he wants to show that even if we aren't perfect like him, we can still do something that's good for others.

What do you think is your purpose as a human being?
I think my purpose as a human being is to be a good example to others even if I am not a very good student, I am aware of what is wrong and what is right and it is my purpose as a human being to do something that is good not only for myself, but for others as well.
