Panay News 2022, Editorial Cartoon of the Day, accessed October 22, 2022 <https://www.panaynews.net/editorial-cartoon-of-the-day-1265/>

Dear President Bongbong Marcos,

              Greetings, Sir. I hope you're in good shape. We've heard a lot about you. We thought that you would be different from the past leaders we had. Despite the fact that many of our friends opposed you, we wanted to give you a chance. Your ideas for the nation were encouraging. We expected that with you in charge, the Philippines would be a better place to live.

Leading a nation with over 100 million citizens and over 7,000 islands must be extremely challenging, especially at your age. I understand that this is a challenging time for our country as well as the rest of the world. But I do hope that you will keep the pledges you made before taking the oath to govern our nation. We had faith in you. and we still do. Even though we frequently disagree with you, we will offer prayers for you so that you can make wise judgments. We will pray for you to be a leader who upholds justice and righteousness. We ask for warm love for the nation and kindness for your people.

We ask God to give you the grace to wake up each day aware that you have the opportunity to have a significant influence on the country you are in charge of. We also wish you good health.

A concerned citizen, 

Arsheil

Be You

On this earth, everyone has certain qualities that they share with others. One can widen their perception, create or generate new ideas, and share them by getting to know each other. Life is cruel, but it's beautiful. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. Me? My life is full of meaningful connections and memorable experiences.

I am a unique person. I am a person who laughs, cries, smiles, and loves. I am a person who makes mistakes. My joys, tragedies, heartbreak, happiness, and losses have made me who I am today. Every life experience, whether happy or tragic, makes me stronger. Every step I take in life and every second that passes molds me into the unique person I am today. I make a lot of mistakes, but I learn from them and avoid repeating them. I am a person who laughs so hard that I have tears running down my cheeks.

Furthermore, I became a competitive and hardworking person. I love challenges, but even though I love challenges, I hate losing them. I learn new things about life and develop into the person I want to be with each passing second. I move forward in my life, one step at a time. I am myself, just like Brigette Nicole said, "I am who I am. not who you want me to be. "I am me."

Studying during Pandemic? Challenge Accepted!

Everyone finds it challenging to study during a pandemic. It is challenging to study while everyone is afflicted by illness, crises, and natural disasters. And studying alone is more difficult. I feel fortunate and content that I was able to learn a lot about the topic in the past lessons and the past years, not just from the subject but through experiences too.

While being a student during the pandemic is extremely hard, COVID-19 affects everyone, not just students. It has affected so many aspects of our lives. Everything has halted globally. Projects have been postponed, businesses have shut down, and schools have closed. I suffered a great deal from the shutdown of schools brought on by the spreading pandemic, just like many other students. However, we students continue our education through online classes, Google meetings with our teachers, and the modular learning modality. For the majority of us, adjusting during the pandemic has been challenging since so many things have changed.As it is difficult for me and for us to conduct self-study if we are in a modular education system, it is difficult for me and for us students to adjust to the new normal in school. it's challenging to understand the concepts, even when taking online programs. Some of us lack access to the internet or technological tools necessary for our studies. Some of us struggle to understand the lessons because we are unable to personally ask for explanations. And the state of many of us' mental health has gotten worse.

I coped with those problems by learning how to manage my time and having the self-discipline to complete my own assignments as a student who is enrolled in a modular course format. I overcame those trials by trusting myself and praying to God. I overcame those challenges by persevering and having self-confidence. There is always a way to overcome life's trials, so let's not give up. Just like Sherrilyn Kenyon said, "Life isn't finding shelter in the storm. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
