My letter to Mr. President

Image
Dear Mr. President,           First, I would like to thank you for your wonderful leadership, and I have high hopes that you will be the one who's going to change the Philippines and turn it into a better country.   Speaking of turning the Philippines into a better country, I am glad that they gave me this  opportunity to talk to you because, as I grow up in a family of laborers, I want my parents to experience a better life. A lot of laborers out there, living in poverty, they can't gain much in their work. They end up living with it, struggling to rise from poverty because of unfair payments, especially to farmers who work day and night just to have bountiful harvest, but the price of their products is so low that they can't even get their investment back, what about their struggles? So Mr. President, I would like you to see the hardship of the farmers, fisherman, and other laborers that struggling out there and who can't rise above poverty....

Overcoming the challenges of COVID-19

  COVID-19 has been a big problem for all of us. It causes us a lot of things, like lockdown, being far from friends, not being able to go outside, not being able to have fun anymore, not being able to go to school to study. Can you imagine how long wen waited to be free again? We all thought that this virus would last a week or two, but still here. Maybe we are now able to go outside, study at school again, be with our friends again, and have fun again, but it isn't the same anymore. A lot of things changed. Our life changed. For the past 2 years, we have suffered a lot. We gained a lot of mental illness. I, as a student, also experienced anxiety. So, let me tell you a little piece of my life, one of my days being locked up in my own house. I am a grade 7 student, turning grade 8 when the COVID-lockdown started. I was so happy back then because I thought the lockdown would only last a week. So, I enjoyed the weeks being in our house. But then, I waited for the weeks to pass, waiti...

Describing the BEST and the WORST me

Image
Hey! Let me describe myself for you to get to know me better.  My name is Edlyn Joi Cabbat Queddeng, and I describe myself as a funny, sensitive and ambitious person.  Most of the time, I make jokes and a lot of people find it funny because it makes them laugh too. It is a good thing that I made someone laugh. But when they joked about me and I kind of  misunderstood it, and because I am sensitive, that's when I doubt myself, especially when they joked about my face or something personal.  For me, it is both good and bad thing. But I am growing up now, I am learning a lot and I am improving my sensitive side.  I am also a very ambitious person. I am not the normal ambitious person, I am one of those people who care too much about the things that they can achieve and need to achieve. I care too much about the things that can cause me to doubt my own skills. I am also trying to improve this trait of mine so that I won't stress myself too much. In addition, I am al...
