A Reflection on Life and Love

By: Willard Espinosa

Self Orbituary

In our world, we'll never forget the happy days we shared, the joy and laughter we experienced together, echoing like speakers in our midst. I am Willard Espinosa, and this message is for all who love me.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you who, even in a short time, shared laughter with me, especially to that special someone who brought light into my life, supporting every decision I made. To my siblings who have always been by my side, making each day brighter, even when we argued occasionally, we cannot deny our bond as siblings, seemingly destined by fate. And to my father, who worked tirelessly to provide for us, ensuring we ate three times a day, your strength fueled my determination to excel in my studies through your hard work and perseverance. And to my dear friends, too many to mention individually, thank you for never getting tired of my antics; you've left a lasting impression on me.

We cannot deny that we will all eventually pass away. I write this letter to express my love for the people who are dear to me, even if our time together was brief.

Standing Up to Bullies: My 6th Grade Tale

By: Willard Espinosa

Memoir

Flashback in sixth grade, I faced a situation that's stuck with me ever since. Two guys made it their mission to torment me from behind, day in, day out. I endured their taunts for what felt like ages, but eventually, I reached my breaking point. The urge to fight back burned within me, yet I lacked the courage to act on it. So, I confided in my mom, hoping she'd have a solution.

Her reaction was fierce, like a lioness defending her cub. With a determined stride, she marched to the school, ready to confront the issue head-on. As she squared off with the bullies and discussed the matter with the guidance counselor, my mind raced with worries. What if they seek revenge? What if they lie in wait for me after school? Even after the dust settled, fear lingered like a shadow.

Reflecting on that time, I realized how my introverted nature and tendency to stick with girl pals stemmed from a desire to avoid such conflicts. Yet, I also understood the importance of standing up for myself. I made a silent vow to toughen up and face challenges head-on.

That moment marked my initiation into seeking guidance, leaving an indelible mark on my young mind. It taught me the significance of voicing concerns and seeking support when needed, even when others choose to suffer in silence.

In the tranquil town of Cavite, nestled amidst serene landscapes, the eruption of Taal Volcano in January 2020 brought a wave of devastation and uncertainty. According to a report by BBC News, the eruption spewed ash and volcanic gases, casting a shadow over the once-vibrant community.

As ash began to rain from the sky, coating the streets and rooftops in a thick layer of gray, panic gripped the town. The sudden scarcity of food supplies became a pressing concern as local stores quickly sold out, leaving residents like myself scrambling to secure basic necessities amidst the chaos.

Living in Cavite, just a stone's throw away from Taal Volcano, I never anticipated the havoc it could unleash until the eruption of January 2020. As ash darkened our skies and coated our streets, I found myself grappling with challenges I never imagined.

One of the most pressing issues was the sudden scarcity of food. With local stores quickly depleted and supply chains disrupted, securing even the most basic necessities became a daily struggle. Watching shelves empty before my eyes, I joined my neighbors in a desperate search for sustenance amidst the chaos.

The volcanic ash, a relentless intruder, infiltrated every aspect of our lives. Its battle against virus, However, there emerged a sense of unity. Neighbors rallied together, sharing whatever resources they had and offering support to those in need. In acts of kindness and solidarity, we found solace amidst the chaos, drawing strength from our collective resilience.

My experience during Taal's wake taught me that in times of crisis, it is our shared humanity that sustains us. Though the road ahead may be challenging, as long as we stand together, there is hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Lessons Learned on my Journey

By: Willard Espinosa

Reflection

Hi, I'm Willard Espinosa, I used to think studying was easy, but as time goes on, it gets harder, like being hit by strong waves put you down due to heavier task, feeling like carrying a big rock unlike before, one thing I learned is not to be complacement with what we have. I've also experienced heartbreak choose to shortcuts rather that going through the proper process which changed my midset that love should be valued and not just temporary.

Furthermore, one thing that changed my belief is that not all smart people are smart, like me admitting i'm not that sharp. But there are creative people who excel in other ways, before when I saw someone with high grades, I thought they were smart, and I felt jealous, thinking I couldn't reach their level like a tall tree, But now, I realize that they might just be good at memorizing words, which is why they got such high grades, I say this because I've experienced it myself.

Moreover, I've realize that being smart its not about gradrd, Hard work matter too comparing ourselves to others based only on grades is pointless, we should focus on growing personally, improving our strength, knowledge and always trying get better every day.

Inspired By: Adrian Pelen

Created By: Willard Espinosa

Reaction to the Personal Narrative

My reaction of Adrian Pelen personal narratives is have many struggle faced in their life. Navigating challenges and seeking a sense of belonging. The loss of a parent can be emmotional, and Adrian’s journey to continue education amid such difficulties showcase resilience tge mention of being paralyzed adds a profound of layer to the narrative, symbolizing the height of the challenges faced.

The theme of yearning for a complete family and the oscallation between happy and sad moment's reflect the complex emotions tied such experiences, The narrativies, depth grows as Adrian grapples with the fear of never finding happiness agian.

Moreover, Adrian’s decision to distance himself from potential friend and love interest for me Adrian is like a man trapped in a dark room with full of suffering, steemning from pass traumatic experiences, showcases the intricate ways in which personal history shapes social interaction, His story in folds as a mix of internal battles and external challenges, creating a conpening narratives of resellience, of self discovery and the pursuit of happiness.

Grades Define You

Personal Narative

By: Willard Espinosa

In my story, I'm Willard Espinosa, an 18 years old who used to prefer playing outside Instead of focusing on schoolworks during elementary and junior high school. I enjoyed online games like get a ad if they were my go to souce of my excitment and also I love watching anume. I was the kind of student who avoided group projects, rarely paid attention, and thought about skipping school.

Things took a turn when i reached high school I applied to a school. But my grades aren't up to their standards. That rejection made me motivate the challenges ahed. Especially since my family didn't it have a lot of money Grade 11 in senior high school became a time when I started changing my approach.

Moreover now, In grade 12, im seeing improvements in my graded, ones that I believe can get me into good collage. It's not just about getting better grades it's about recognizing the importance of hard working.

In my conclusion, through the ups and downs, I learned that being lazy won't helo in the long run, theres this saying "Grades dont define you" but in today, I learn more toward "Grade defines you" this journey from a carefree student to one focused on academic commitment is about real changes, not just grades but in my outlook on creating a better future.

In the final chapter I've come to realize thar life ins't just avout grades you see on a report card. It's more like shaping the characters are in your own narrative. While the saying "Grades doesn't define you" might sound learned that grades are a bit like the well - crafted lines in a novel they do matter It's not about seeing them as the makers on the pages of your own story. Each grades represent a triumph or a challenge overcome.

So, as this chapter come to a close i'm not just holding a report It's more having like a manuscript that tell a stort is a work in progress.
