The Essence of True Love

Informal Theme # 8

Love is the most common, if not abused. As a result we can hardly identify the true meaning of love. Because when one is fond of a certain thing, place, person or anything that he likes most, he then directly associates it, with the word love what does love really mean?

Love is not just mere filling of doing something good but it goes further than funding the hungry and clothing the makes. It means warmth, intimacy, open-heartedness and the over whelming generosity of heart and spirit, it means a desire to know and a courageous willingness to be know. Love implies commitment to person involvement with the person’ life whatever it may cost him. Love can wait. Everyone who has fallen in love had this desire of giving something just to make beloved happy. Love doesn’t end there; one must also take the risk of losing and being hurt. When one decides not to fall in love so as not to be hurt, then that person is a coward.

Life Goes On

          All of us surely have turning points in life, because we all have challenges and happiest events in our life. Theses turning points can also help us. We can learn from our mistakes and we can be proud of what we have done before.

          First of all, one of my turning points is my achievement in school. I graduated as the valedictorian of my elementary. That big achievement made me so happy. I really did my best to achieve that and to give honor to my family. Although I know I can’t pay back all the love they’ve given me, that is one way of showing how much I love them too. I prove them that I can do anything just to make them happy. My whole family was so happy for me knowing that I will have a good future. They said that this will be my stepping stone to success. I said to them that I will not reach that goal without them there beside me.

          My second turning point was the death of my grandparents. My grandparents are the persons who taught me the best lessons of life. They let me grow in a nice, peaceful way. I really love them as what they do. I’m so lucky to have the. They are always there to cheer me up whenever I’m sad. They never let me down. And you know what? I’m their favorite grand daughter. One time, unexpected news came. My grandparents died and I’m very shock. I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how I could accept the fact that they’re not with me anymore. Tears fell from my eyes. I hug them even they’re not breathing anymore. I’m so depressed when they died. There comes a time that I’m not eating or even talking. This is the only time I experience a big loneliness.  

          And my last turning point is when I passed the Cavite National Science High School entrance exam. Before I took the entrance exam I really did not expect to pass. But when they said the students who pass the first test, I’m included and I’m very happy. I also pass the next test. And then the last is the interview. This interview is their basis to put the students in their corresponding section. This time, I have negative thoughts. I’m thinking that I’ll be on the lowest section, but when they post I’m in the Nitrogen section that they are saying the highest of all the sections. I’m grateful because I know that my parents will be so proud of me. They really want me to pass here because they know that this is a high quality school.

            Now, I want to share that those turning points have changed my life. Those things played a big part in my life. I learned to accept the truths and failures. I learned to treasure the significant moments in my life. I’m thankful to God because He’s giving me challenges in life where I can get important lessons of life and giving me chance to change or correct mistakes. Turning points play a big part in a person’s life. But whatever happens in your life, just trust God and everything will be alright. Life goes on. 

Sports: Outlet for teenagers

“Sports keep kids off the street.”

It does not in fact keep kids off the streets; it also instills lessons that are essential in life of a student athlete. They have given us an escape from the hectic life we live and a place of childhood fun. Sports play a pivotal role in the makeup of a young athlete, especially in the middle school to high school years where student athletes are much more mature and mentally developed.

Where else can a young, impressionable youth learn values like self confidence, sacrifice, and accountability? Television, which may be the most influential tool in the lives of young adults, does not show enough of these qualities, nor is it on the Internet, or radio. Rather it is up to the parents, teachers, sports teams, clubs, and after school programs to help mold, develop, and instill these qualities into the lives of student athletes. Without them, there will be no great athletes made.

            In order to produce great and professional athletics, one important thing is finding a good core of coaches. Persons to help, lead these student athletes to success.

Another important thing is the support that comes from the community, and administration. This is very important because they need to know they are appreciated. In order to accomplish this it’s going to take investment and the most valuable investments are money and time. The more invested, the better the results.

When these things are in place, I believe student athletes will benefit and the results will be evident not only on the field, but long after they step off of it.

Sports influence people’s lives more than you’d think. Great athletics play a huge part in molding the individuals.

To my dearest teachers,

          Thank You, 2 words with millions of meanings, simple words with complicated messages.

          Thank you for shaping our innocent minds, filling with those noteworthy lessons and significant advices. Thank you for teaching us the right way of reading, writing and counting. No one will succeed without passing on your precious hands. There’ll be no doctors to cure the sick ones, no architect to design and review the construction of buildings and structures for the use of people, and no lawyer to defend the freedom of another individual. I’m very sorry for all the wrong things that I’ve done. Without you, I will not be here in my position right now.

          Sir/Ma’am, this is your day and I want to extend my deepest gratitude to all of you. I love you.

Your student,

Maryel C. Villegas
