Journal no.4
There are times that i make mistakes in school, like recitation, and it is normal if my teacher would correct my mistakes, because that is one of their responsibility, to teach us right, there is nothing to be angry with it. when i'm expressing my opinions during class, i make sure that i will not offend someone. During work presentations, i give my opinion, at the same time i respect other opinions. Mistakes are normal, and it is good if someone will correct you from it, because it means they care for you. When I don’t like doing what others want me to do, i talk to them and tell my side. When they want to give comments about me, I make myself ready, there are things that should be accepted and you will learn something from it.
I treat all of people in MCL equally, I don't really mind their positions, I respect them as I want to be respected.
- when they want to give you their comments or suggestions?

Journal no.10
I learned that I should make my own decisions in what I should do, and I don't care to other as long as I'm doing what is right.

Even I'm a teenager, I also have my responsibilities. At home, I should help in cleaning our house and help in other house chores. In my school, I should go to school on time, do the tasks given to me, submit my assignments and projects on time and study or review for the examinations. In our community, I should help in maintaining a clean place and environment, and help people who lack of something and share things that we have.

Journal no.8
When I was in High school, I often saw money left or maybe dropped in the ground by an owner, the first thing that always comes to my mind is that the person left it accidentally, I care about the owner because there is a possibility that this money is for buying his/her food or it is intended for other important things. And as I think those possibilities, I know that I should give it back to the owner or surrender the money to the discipline office or at the lost and found so that the owner can find it easier. Every time I did those things, I am very proud of myself, because though sometimes I need money, I usually give it back because it is the right thing to do.
I realized that in every good deed we do, it can give us happiness that we can't find in other things.

Journal no. 6
As a student, I always feel challenged every time I go to school, I expect lot of tasks that should be done correctly in the given period of time. I think I accomplished those challenges because I don't have any failing marks or scores in all of my subjects, I don't have problems regarding my grades. Of course, I feel very glad whenever this happens, it's like all of my efforts gave a great results. I was also inspired to work harder in order for me to have higher marks in all of the subjects.
I realized that in everything you do, you should always exert effort and determination to be able to succeed in what we do.

The Most Challenging Thing I have ever accomplished
In a person’s thoughts, it’s always about what you want to accomplish, how and when you’ll be able to accomplish it, in a given short span of time. When I was a high school student, thinking about what to achieve was never a big deal for me. My reason of existence then was to do my homework, pass my projects on time and other school work because it was required. But it was in the day of our graduation, that I realized, I have indeed accomplished/finished my long race, and was getting ready to run another one. Having seen my friends accept their diploma after I received mine, what I felt was more than satisfying; it was a feeling beyond compare.
It was then after my graduation that I thought about the small things I accomplished, and I consider each one of them as “the most challenging thing”. Like there was this one time, my mom was listening to one of her instrumental albums; I got stunned when I heard the Piano Concerto of Chopin. I told myself that I’ve got to learn how to play a beautiful piano piece like Chopin’s. I made a great deal of effort and it paid off when I finally learned how to play Sonatas and Prelude. Of all the skills I’ve learned, it was playing the piano I consider as my masterpiece. Because when I played for my grandmother, she cried of happiness, I didn’t know that time that it was my grandparents’ wedding song. It made me realize that accomplishments are not only the things that you do to make you feel successful, but it is also the things you’ve done for others and made them really happy.
