Easier and faster work, knowing the facts about our planet, we are really benefited by this systematic enterprise.

            

            One branch of Science which deals with the overall study of matter is Chemistry. In our environment, we can find different kinds of materials and elements. Chemistry, as a science of matter is the one which gave us the comprehension on the composition, behavior, structure, and properties, and the changes these matters undergo. It made us aware of what the substances are made of, how the elements of the periodic table were arranged, how chemical reactions take place, why we need to identify the different properties of materials, how new substances are formed, the difference between solution, suspension, and colloid, and many more. Chemistry is a part of our daily lives and it helps us in knowing more what our planet is made up. Chemistry, with combined operation or synergy to the Science Club results to Chemergy. It is important that people give significance and focus on Chemistry; a synergy for greater productivity and efficiency. Chemergy is indeed for the betterment of our country.

Teacher! Teacher!

     In the age of Internet when all the information one needs can be found at the click of a mouse, what use is of teachers who were once the giver of knowledge?

      Being a teacher is so amazing because you can not only share your knowledge and thoughts but also, you can help others in enhancing their skills and talents. This profession is very important because if there are no teachers, there will be no other professions like doctors, lawyers, engineers, and so on. These people were once helped and guided by their teachers. Even though we have many books, what if there are no teachers who can be able to understand and explain its contents?  Maybe there are something which can be understood by other people especially those intelligent and smart but how about those who are slow learners and need someone to teach them? Our country is said to be a developing country but there were still schools that have no absolute and stable classrooms and complete supply of books and other materials. Our country is poor in the structures and supplies for schools and there are also teachers that go abroad to earn and get more money because here in the Philippines, teachers have low salary. Also, we are now in a modernized world wherein students depend on the information that they can get on the internet. Internet is indeed a helpful tool in our education because here, we are able to search the things we want to. But it also has disadvantages and it makes the students lazy. It also contains some tutorials which are very helpful to the people but for me, personal touch with a teacher is still the best =)

     We must learn to respect teachers because they give all their time and effort just to help students. So , to all the teachers around the world, who have made so many sacrifices only to teach and discipline students, and who gave their best in helping those in need in achieving their dreams and aspirations in life, I salute everyone of you!!

"Magnificent Woman"

She's a model of courage and strength. She's a beautiful picture of grace. She's a constant, a friend, a keeper of dreams, a comforting shoulder to lean on, an adviser who's tried and true blue. She's a giver of life, a giver of love- a magnificent woman.

I have known this woman all my life. She's beautiful, intelligent, friendly, approachable, kind and very generous. Since I was a kid, I admire her so much because of her good characters. She is such a good friend and I consider her as my older sister. She is very supportive and she comforts me when I have problems.  When I was still in elementary, she is the one who taught me on some of our assignments. She also helped me in doing my projects. She shares her own ideas and suggests what is the best thing to do. She also acts as my tutor on the lessons I could hardly understand. Until now, I still seek her help but not so often because she is very busy on her studies. This school year, she will going to graduate in college. It's just so amazing to think of it because once we were still children, playing games, teasing each other, visiting relatives together, running on the farms, eating fruits and climbing trees. Now, we were already teenagers and I know that after  finishing her studies, she will going to find a job already. She is a nursing student and I can see that she really want this profession even though they say that it is not already in demand. She is after the service that she can give to people and I admire her because of that. Whenever she comes to our house, she has always some stories to share like her encounters on the hospital, where she met patients with mental illness. I was scared by her story, in fact, she encouraged me to take up nursing when I go to college. But I told her that I think I cannot do it because first, I am clumsy and nurses must work fast. Second, it's not really what I want and as I see her browsing her very thick books and making some reports and projects, it made me dislike this course. Third, I can't stand seeing sick people. The feeling sucks so I insisted that I don't want to take up nursing. This woman is understanding and humorous. She also shares jokes and her funny experiences during college and high school. I love the way she laughs and the best thing I know about her is that: SHE LOVES EATING. :)) I have known many things from her. She is also a loving daughter and sister to her siblings. We have faced many challenges together and for me, she is the best friend I ever had.

With her amazing personality, I know someday she will be successful in her life. For now, we will continue to support each other. When she will work on other place, I will surely miss her. I just want to thanked her for everything, for sacrificing her time just to help me, for comforting me when I have problems, for giving me advices and always being there when I feel alone. Thank you my dear sister, good luck! You're my modern day hero.. =)
