How to be a responsible student

Almar S. Ebrahim

We cannot deny the fact that as a student holding such responsibilities is not easy. As time goes by, we cannot acknowledge how to value being responsible and how to manage ourselves in order to be a better one. I believe that I am not perfect but still I tried to be responsible in a good way that I believe that is essential and effective in order to be a responsible good student.

I realized that responsibilities are must attend my class on time, regularly setting my goals, be able to focus to my future, completing my homework and assignments, to participate in every activities in school, listening, learning, respect, and improving my skills are very essential to maintain good connections as a responsible one. As a student, to accomplish educational goals and objectives, understanding and fulfilling academic duties associated with determination to aim dreams are an obligation to pursue. But many students fail at this because they don't realize the importance of being accountable or they follow wrong techniques and habits of living and learning. But in my part, to be responsible means being who you are and be able to be a visionary of good conduct.

I do believe that responsibility is not a nightmare to make us pressure in everyday but instead it's a choice of accomplishment that where if you'll then handle as essential, it will turn out to be a fulfillment of satisfaction. Before, as everytime I wake up, I always do think that choosing to study with no adequate intelligence and capabilities is a burden of my life, I always do think that it is the hardest responsibility and task that I've handled my entire life. And time always comes, not denying the fact that I used to cry inside my dark room in order to release the pressures that I think I'm really suffering my whole life. But as what I realized that, we individuals are in twinned with responsibility and a choice. We can choose to be settle if we take responsibility as a challenge to make us grow a better one.

Being responsible doesn't talk about capable of being the kindest, but I believe that it is also talks about capable of being you, choosing to live in the brightest side of life, choosing to be responsible as an essential weapon to stand and fight the uncertainties especially as a student.

Technology as a beneficial and distraction to the focus of a student

Keen Francis Candado

Technological gadgets like cellphone and computer promote independent learning because students like me can learn on my own without assistance from my parents. Honestly, I can easily search all topics I wanted to be informed with in google or YouTube as long as there is internet connection. I really became highly independent that I thought if will make me a better learner but that mindset turned out to be a huge opposite to what the consequences it brought to my study.

Too much eposure and use of gadget can lead us spending less time on outdoor activities and limiting our social interaction to everyone around us. It may lead also to poor concentration in studies and lack of interest in day to day activities. And clearly, that's true. Because of technology, I don't spend more in studying my lessons and further acknowledging my teachers' discussions as I intend to use technology for my happiness like playing mobile online games not knowing that I had already neglected that value of my study. Excessive gadget can lead to poor health and bad eating habit. And all of these happened to me. I became addicted to my cellphone. I always play games online, I've focused on my games not on my study. I slept at dawn then wake up in the morning and take a bath until such time my half face became paralyzed.

The doctor said too much exposure on radiation some of my nerve didn't work well and I'm diagnosed" Bells Palsy". We really need cellphone for our education not for the games. From now on, I will do a change in my lifestyle and yes I may not be that smart but I will now try my very best to value the learnings and significance of my study and not going to neglect it for an invalid technological liability purposes

How to be a good Student

Neil Ivan Serenuela

Literally, there is no particular standard to be followed in order to be a good student as I believe, being you and to follow rightful endeavors will make you a better one. For me, everything starts with the respect to our parents because our behavior at home will reflect on how we could respect other people as our behavior at home will be then carried to how we manage our behavior at school. Let's not stubborn our teachers and let's provide respect to them because they serve us our second parents.

No matter what tasks and requirements they assigned us to do, we should never be get angry and instead, we should get even more happier as this serve as a strong dimension in achieving a better future. Furthermore, let's respect our classmates, know our limitations, study hard, help each other in school and not going to leave each other behind until we will all be able to graduate. I really believe that listening to our teachers during their discussions and know how to focus on our goals will enable us to be attentive in class even we are not that smart. Fear no one, except God. I am an INC servant and I always do worship God before and after school. Let us be a student not a lover because if we enter a relationship, it will distract our concentration to our studies. I do acknowledge that as a student, we should get involved to school, sharing our ideas, thoughts, and bright learnings to the class. I did find an activity that our school offered like being participant to sport activities but yet I did had a harder time adjusting but still I pursued and be able to manage my lifestyle as a student.

Other people may feel that success is impossible. But in my stand however, a student can be successful in many ways such as being on time for class, managing our time and study smarter. For a student who wants to be successful; courage, determination, and being who you are like being a better one will take part to make you focus on your goals and achieve your desired fulfillments.

Tips on getting higher grades

Kristine Jane Mandal

As a student, we all know why we intend to get a low grades. Literally because of we don’t hard, we don’t focus in class, and prefer not to listen during the discussions of the teachers. And I have experienced having a low grades. Honestly, it is not easy to face the consequences and that literally gave me unsatisfied and very discouraging disappointment to myself. But that didn’t became my failure era, because still I managed to step out from this point and did able to lift up my grades. So here are the few tips that I can share in terms of getting a high grades;

First tip; motivate yourself. How do we motivate ourselves in order to get a higher grades? I know that is a seldom question. But if you’ll try to surround yourself with the positive influences and appropriate hobbies, you’ll then come up with rightful endeavours to meditate and pursue yourself to love your study. You just do not motivate yourself by spending a lot for your study but you can try to inspire yourself with the better consequences that you’ll earn when you get a higher grades. You can motivate yourself by simply appreciating your skills and strengths in your study.

Second tip; listen and participate in class because it helps us to get more out of class. And it may also provide a worth satisfying acknowledgements for a student. I tried listening and participating in all activities that we had and it turned out to be great. At first, I don’t have the confidence to speak for things that come up to my mind that is relating to class discussions. But then, I realized how valuable it was of boosting my capabilities and speaking skills to lift my grades higher. What I did was I never put in my mind what other people would say and still, I pursued to stand up and share my thoughts in class.

Third tip; take notes about the discussions tackled by your teacher so that you can study it. I tried taking down notes and I studied it every night. Before, I just thought that every discussions are not quite important where you just tend to listen and forget about it later. But then, I just witnessed how effective taking down notes in every discussions as my classmates did able to scan ad further study with the use of it. It never put in my mind that being able to have notes in class will lead you to study in advance and gain further knowledge. Most of all, it is very effective in achieving higher grades.

Fourth tip; stay focus on your class because it will help you to understand the lessons tackled by your teachers. And having sustainable concentration and reliable efforts will lead us to completion and pursue to love our study. Claiming that having relationship with someone is an inspiration but as time pass by, I realized that it is a distraction on valuing time management and concentration to your study. I intended to give him adequate time for us to avoid arguments but what I don’t know is I am slowly losing my focus to my study and not being able to concentrate on my aims and that is to get a high grades.

Lastly; don’t study harder, study smarter. I tried my best in studying hard but that was time consuming and stressful. But in studying smarter, it reduced my stress, it was efficient and produced optimal results. I then figured out that being knowledgeable enough with the techniques and sustainable strategies in your school life is you will be able to boost your efficient capabilities and pursue yourself to value your study. You just don’t need to try harder in things, you just need to be smarter enough in order to surpass from your struggles and pressures.

Don’t settle for less just because it is available; always find ways to reach your visions.

My Struggles as a Student

Dawn Cielo M. Otlang

Living the life as a student is not easy as there are so many struggles, challenges, and trials that usually needed to be faced and overcome in order to survive. As a Senior High School student in most particular circumstance, I feel like in every minute, my overall well-being burden the hardships and struggles of every consequences of my study. And indeed, stress and pressures are the greatest factors of why I struggle in my student life.

You don’t go deep into school with a lot of problems but the fact can’t be denied that being a student is the most exciting but the most challenging part of life. We students are being forced to figure out the rest of our lives, and how to manage our time. And with that, I came to the point that I even came to the point that I even set aside my personal happiness as I intend to focus on coping up with our lessons and submitting my requirements. And since I’m not smart enough, I struggle to understand every discussions. In this process, I have certain types of expectations that I want to meet but since I lack confidence, I usually fail with what I expect, and reality turned out to be a nightmare.

Not denying the fact, I struggle to balance and manage my time for my personal wants and educational duties. Usually and unfortunately, I do not consume time to study because I was really distracted by my personal hobbies recently. I don’t have the vision of boosting my capabilities as a learner since I don’t believe in what I can do. Whenever I have something in my mind that I really wanted to share in class, I can’t say it when my teacher calls me as really I believe that students that are not smart like me, don’t have the chance to be better and grow with a mindful essentials in our study. I don’t have the criticism like others where they can understand lessons very well. I struggle as the enemy of my own capability. I struggle to face the reality that I am not good in academics. And I struggle to show what I can do and to prove that I can be what I expect to myself.

But no matter how I struggle, still I stand and fight for what I really want for myself. Right now, I’m doing improvements to my capabilities and I am doing all of this to combat my struggles and fears to face the reality of my life as a learner. And I believe that struggles are the best weapon to overcome fears and life with essential vision to make development for yourself.

Daily Routine as a Student

Rinnel F. Salazar

Many people rely on daily routines to help them accomplish tasks and maintain a satisfying personal life. If you want to create a balance time management between your school life as a student and personal goals, you might think to create your own daily routines as a student. The way to maintain a healthy daily routine is to have discipline, consistency and hardwork. So let’s begin.

As a student everyday, I wake up early in the morning at around 5:40 a.m. After I wake up, I do start my morning with getting changed and a little bit of stretching to fully enliven me up and starting to put my bed in place. Before, I usually wake up 5:30 a.m., do jogging for 30 minutes and perform a light workout before going to school. But now, because of so much activities and a lot of time I spend in school, it makes me tired and exhausted so I have to manage my time and give myself an adequate rest. If I would have to choose between exercise and rest, I’ll probably choose to rest because sometimes you must have rest to recover your body from the stress and pressures of life. So, moving on to the next thing I usually do, is drinking two glasses of water while taking my vitamins. Afterwards, I start preparing my breakfast meal and that is plain healthy oatmeal. Next, I take a bath and after is getting changed with my uniform clothes. I will then eat my meal and go to school. As every time I go to school, I do walking because it helps me to be calm and gain concentration on which also, I have that habit that I like inspecting my surroundings.

I study at Malangas National High School that currently, I am a grade 12 HUMSS student. I walk 10 minutes to get to school. My class starts from 7:30 a.m. in the morning and ended at 5:00 in the afternoon. We have 4 hours class in the morning with our 4 subjects; Philosophy from 7:30- 8:30, World Religion from 8:30-9:30, followed by 15 minutes recess, our Media Information Literacy from 9:45-10:45, and our last morning subject, Practical Research from 10:45-11:45. After our morning class, is I used to walk in distance to go home and as I have to reach our house is I immediately go to our kitchen to prepare and eat my lunch meal. Giving worth to my next lessons is I used to give myself a 15 minutes time to scan my notes and review for my lessons; also giving myself time to play videogames. As the clock would reach 10 minutes before to 1:00 p.m. is I also used to do walking again to reach my school destination. Our class in the afternoon is also 4 hours accompanied with our 4 subjects; Piling Larang that starts from 1:p.m. to 2:00 p.m., UCSP from 2:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m., Creative Nonfiction from 3:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. and Entrepreneurship from 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

After class is I usually walk again to go home and doing my evening routine is my priority. My daily routine serve as my disciplinary guidance for me to avoid getting late and avoid disrupting myself with unnecessary things to neglect my study. Daily routine boost our capability as a student to pursue mindful behaviour, mentality, and serve as a pattern on how should we manage our daily life being a student.

Working Student

Rocky Jay Sumampong

I, as a student had experienced being a working student may be due to my curiosity which I wanted to experience on what it feels like to be independent, and to know how difficult life will be without any financial supports. Life is driven by chance and opportunity. Some wants to pursue their education but cannot support their needs. Some has the opportunity to study but chose to discontinue because of having impassionate self-reliance. My parents can support to surpass my needs in my study, but still I value to earn for myself and to don’t just rely on what they provide. So I decided to work.

At the age of 17, I entered different types of jobs while I study in High School. Because of my curiosity, I had tried to enter different jobs such as; being a construction worker, fisherman, and a fruit salesman which I tried to enter those work to experience being an independent student. When I went to work, I experienced all the hardships and fatigue realizing life is hard when you do work and study at the same time. I entered as a labourer at the Construction site near our place and during that time, lockdown happened due to the pandemic of Covid-19. I worked in the morning and study in the evening experiencing fatigue and hardships while studying. As a working student is that I had realized that life was not really easy. Because apart from the hardships and tiredness that you might encounter, is that your studies might be neglected which will lead you to lose the desire to go to school. I’ve learned a lot of things which I realized how hard life is when you don’t have someone to provide and support your needs especially when you are just a student. Even though, I have that someone whom who provide my needs, I still pursued to experience the reality of my curiosity on going towards what I really wanted to visualize and feel. Even how hard it is, I still keep on standing and moving forward for the better future that I will achieve. After that I continued on my study and believed to achieve my goals for my family that I could get through all of my determinations. I learned the value of earning through your own sweat and tiredness. And appreciated the reality of life experience as a working student. After that experiences, during the new normal and face to face classes, I stopped working so that I could attentively focus on my studies.

What I have learned being a working student is that life was not really easy when you haven’t finished and completed a course for a stable job especially when you didn’t finish your study with a degree. So if you dare to achieve a stable life, don’t waste every opportunities that will welcome you to the better future. As a former working student, I must say don’t lose hope in yourself even circumstances are not easy and even how hard is to study and work at the same time. But beside all of those struggles, don’t make it the reason to stop dreaming and to stop believing in yourself. Instead, what you should do is to pursue things that will make you better. Fight for your goals in every point of life. No matter what happen, don’t stop, continue your study. Continue believing and lastly, continue dreaming because these are only your investments for a good future.

Building Connection as a Student to Teachers

Monjohn Jarantilla

I can still remember when I was just in my elementary, that during that days, I was totally a very shy person and which, I don’t have confidence at all. My grades were very low not until I’ve met Teacher Daryl. She was my mother’s cousin which I’ve met her when I was just 9 years old. Teacher Daryl was always the one who lift my intellectual capacity to strive in order to be an honor student. She always teach me when I’m in her home, teaching me all the subjects that I need to learn, and the one who treated me like her own sister. Even though I’m far away from and on which I really do miss my family, but still I’m grateful that Teacher Daryl was always by my side, guided me, loved me, and most especially, thought me the right and good manner a student must possess.

As a student, I’ve learned so much from her on which I’ve learned that we need to respect our teachers, classmates, and every individual that surround us. It helps me to realize that building connection to your teachers will make you a better person or student. Having a good manner will lead you to create endless good relationship to everyone. Your teacher appreciates you as for just truly being who you are. Through that great connection and relationship that I’ve created with Teacher Daryl is that, I can now reflect and apply it that I should properly appreciate and value my teachers most of the time. I believe that our teachers where even though you’re not their relatives, are they would never let their students to learn nothing instead, will always pursue to teach their students a productive lessons.

Having a memorable connection to your teachers is like maintaining a strong relationship with your parents. All I thought is that I just only felt that unforgettable valuable connection with my teachers in elementary exactly how I felt with Ma’am Daryl but I was wrong. Because until now, in everyday that I go to school, I always do appreciate the value of teachings that I learn from my teachers in Senior High School. In every minute that I do pay attention, I always do realize the greatness that I avail in their discussed lessons. And right now, I don’t want to waste my last year in SHS just with unnecessary behaviours, but instead I’ll intend to gather fantastic memories of building stronger and undoubtful connections of wonderful relationships with my second parents, my teachers.

My Aims and Dreams

Reya Jane S. Ferraren

As a grade 12 student of the Humanities and Social Sciences strand, my aims in life are to gain more knowledge, to graduate, to pass the entrance examinations, and sooner to be able to pass the board exam in order to get a better and stable job in the future. To be honest, I became so lazy in school works lately. But now, I realized that I have a dream that I want to fulfil. Back then, I didn’t literally had a dream that I wanted to be fulfilled because all I thought is that I’m not smart enough to dream. But now, I understand that when you have a dream, you need to trust yourself no matter what.

My dream is to graduate in BS Tourism but since we have the lack of finances, I will intend to take BS Criminology course which my family can afford. Additionally, my dream is also to help my family because I want them to experience living with a prosperous life and I want also to repay all their sacrifices just to pursue supporting our study. “I will not quit until I will make my dreams come true”, because I have a family that are hoping for my success and believing in my capabilities. Many people discourage us in a way that they tell us that we will not be able to finish our study because we are just poor and that, we will get pregnant early. But instead of believing them and lose hope, I intend to use those as my motivation so that I will grow more matured and pursue to continue my study. For a student like me, I’m not really good at everything. I don’t have talents, I’m not smart, not rich, and don’t have confidence. But still, I believe that as long as you have dreams and goals in life, you can achieve them if you exert dedications and effort. You will succeed in life but it should not be forgotten that the key to achieve all the success is by a prayer. Even though there are many obstacles and failures that will come to us that we think we can’t overcome and handle, just always think that we have a dream that we want to fulfil.

What I learned is to just trust yourself and do not be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Even if there are so many problems that will come, just always find better solutions to overcome them. As the day passed, time became our enemy. While it’s early, we should learn to appreciate what we can do for our dreams. Just always be positive, courageous, and mindful enough of what you are facing. Never let negativities to lift down your delightful plans in achieving your dreams. Instead, make them as your powerful motivation to combat your unstable thinking. If you really have a dream that you want to fulfil, there is always a way to move forward and achieve those and there are reasons to lose hope.
