“National Career Assessment Examination”

National Career Assessment Examination, NCAE for short is a test that will help us in the future. This will be our first step that will help us choose our course in college. As of now, I’m not yet thinking of it because I’m more focused in my studies and in my high school days. I don’t have enough knowledge also to think of it because I don’t have any idea as of now. But when I go further, I am going to think of it.

When I took up the examination, I found it a little bit boring but somewhat helpful. The basic test is there, that will test your scientific and mathematical ability. For me, this helps a lot because it gives you some hint about the course you’ll take up. Showing us reminders that, that will be the scope and the aspects that we should know in order to surpass the examination. Since I was in elementary, I already prefer Mathematics as my basic major because I am better in formulas and calculations than analysis and critical thinking.

For me, the most special function and objective of NCAE are to help us in a way that they will show a test that will test our ability so that we will know what certain subject we are better that others. With that, we can easily think of a course having that kind of learning. Foe example in Mathematics, if an individual is better in Math, he or she can apply for accountancy. If ever they are better in Science, they can be a chemist, a physicist, or other related course. As of now, I find it very helpful and important because through that, I have an initial thought that I will focus on Mathematics more than Science and others because that’s the subject I’m fonder and that’s the subject that my skills prefer.

“INTRAMS 2012; GO RED BAYERNS!”

How important is the sports activity in a student’s life? Why? If I will be asked with the same question I’ll answer it is very important. Want to know why? Because it’s not just only for fun or for entertainment, it also tests our bodies if we are healthy or not. It lets us know how our health status affects us and lets us prepare ourselves and take good care of it. It also teaches us good manners to others and honesty as well.

I was a grade 5 student when I started joining the sports fest.  Before it was called district meet but now that I’m in high school –it is called Intrams. at first, I thought of backing out because I’m afraid that I lose this game, they might be angry. But still I joined and was trained by my soon to be adviser at that time. I joined badminton. I find it so fun and I can easily learn the basic techniques there so I take the game seriously until I won the first place and went to other places here in Cavite to represent the District of Maragondon. More and more experiences had come and for me, I’ll just play without assuming for anything – win or lose its okay. I just want to have more experiences and I just want to test my skills and its helpful effects to my body especially in my arms and legs.

This sport makes me feel that I’m better than I was before. That among other people, I have a special sport that I must be proud of because it’s not just a simple sport for me, it is a very important sport that taught me the importance of being fit and having a daily exercise and proper care to it. It makes me stronger and makes my arms and feet more functional. Before I’m just using my feet for walking but now, there is another job that is more useful that walking that not just entertains me but also makes it stronger and faster. From weak arms, I already have a stronger one. Before, I can’t even smash but through more practice I can now do different styles in playing badminton that I can’t do before. All in all, playing sports is vey important, it is not just for fun and entertainment, it teaches how to respect others, to make us responsible, makes our patience longer and most specially – making us more stronger and fitter.

“Fluency in English language of Mastery in our Mother Tongue”

Filipinos were used to speak in English and in our own language which is Tagalog. Although we have our own language we were still trained to speak other languages. Most specially, the English language is the most frequent one. It is also called the universal language. Through the use of this language, you can easily communicate and express yourself to other people with ease and clarity.

On the other hand, I still prefer to use Tagalog language because first of all, I’m in the Philippines and that’s the language that my countrymen know. Also, this language is very easy to understand not like the English. Maybe for me it’s easy because I was born and use this language but for others they will prefer English. In our school, we were using these two languages. Between the two languages, were using English language more frequent than Tagalog.

For me, they can be used in the same and right way. It was balanced for me in shorts. If I’m in a country or if I’m in the other countries who don’t know my natives language, I will use English language so that they can understand me and we can communicate. I can say that I’m very lucky because I can speak other language, not only the language taught by my own country. There would be lesser time and effort in expressing yourself to others because I can use the English language so that they can understand and we can express ourselves properly.
