Do it while you can

          Going back to the past, energy has been used, even now. The sun was the most powerful and basic source of energy. Giving life support to plants including animals and humans. The time where they used caves as their houses and fire as their light. As time passed by, lots of things happened. Discoveries of such new things. and because, Change is the only thing constant in this world, no wonder. Science then, played this role. The devastating economic status lead such great minds to find out a solution for these problems. Through science, electricity was discovered.
          Electricity use has been spread out worldwide. The idea of which electricity functions was like a virus. The most common of it are: used to start or used for appliance to function, to supply light, to store foods, to cook and such more other uses. This has proven ho intellectual a man can be. Electricity was also used to light buildings that complemented with the sparkling night sky. The synchronization of water fountains, elevators and escalators. We now even have electric vehicles which is believed to decrease pollution of air.
          But too much is bad. We need to conserve. We don't know if soon, electricity will be out or will not be available. While there is time let us conserve or this problem will become recalcitrant to consumers like me. Let us reduce the use of energy. We may not know if what the future generation will have.
          We must conserve energy. Energy conservation refers to the efforts made to reduce energy consumption. This can be achieved through increased efficient energy used, in conjunction with decreased energy consumption from conventional energy sources.
          Consumers are often poorly informed of the saving of energy efficient products. The use of too much technology somewhat needs to be able to change such behavioral patterns.It can do this by allowing energy users to see the impact their energy use can have in their workplace or homes.
          Let us conserve energy!

My Teacher, My Hero

          Ever since I was 5 years old, my parents has been sending me to school with their hope that I will become a wise and a successful man in the future.
          Education was the thing they thought as guide to make my dreams come true. Education is not only learning, it is the exercise and development of the powers of the mind; and the two great methods by which this end may be accomplished are in the halls of learning or in the conflicts about life. Education is a debt due from the present to the future generations.
          In order to make education easier and understandable, we have our "Teachers," to explain to us each lessons and will be with us throughout our journey as a student.

          Our teachers are very important, I couldn't even write this if it wasn't for them. They are sacrificing a lot of their time for us to learn. To learn wonderful and unique things and ways in expressing ourselves. Our teachers are one of the real heroes. 

          Not all heroes can fly, have super strengths, super powers or even run fast, but as long as they have the characteristics known by the loftiness of their carriage; the greatest braggarts are generally the merest cowards. And that's what teachers do.
          Our teachers, spend their time more with us rather than being with their family, in fact, teachers have been treating their students as their second family. Some even force their selves to stay up late at night just to show something to their students.
          I want to thank all of the teachers for giving us light to our lives. Feeding us wonderful wisdom, letting us chew and digest their ultimate advise.Thank you for doing your best to teach us what would be best for us, to lead us to the right path.

          The teachers should be held in the highest honor. They are allies of legislators; they have agency for protecting us; whose incessant action and pressure cause the life-blood to circulate, to return pure and healthful to the heart of the nation. The one exclusive sign of a thorough knowledge in the power of teaching.

The Reality from our Fantasies

          When I was a kid, I was told stories and even watched movies. One of this is the existence of superheroes like: Superman, Batman, Spiderman and others. I admired them so much that I impersonated them in my own way, they have super powers, who wouldn't want to have one? I was always having them in my dreams and dreamed that I was one of them too. Dreamed that I could save the world someday and promote peace and goodness around the world.
          Now that I have grown up, it was then and now, I finally knew that those superheroes that we are so into these days, doesn't really exist. They were just our fantasies or imaginations. I was just living a lie! Instead, a true heroes not on what super powers they have, not the gadgets, the suit nor the armors but it's what is in ones heart and mind. It is in ones heart and mind to help his or her fellow youth.
          The true hero, I consider it my modern hero. She helped me in my everyday life. When I was still little, she took care of me. She was always by my side, until now. As if she was my shadow, in the broad daylight. She gives me advice in everything that I do. She sends me to school everyday, and covers up some of my expenses. She always makes me happy. She had always comforted me when I had problems, it started from the day that my parents got divorced. She was the one who helped. I was still a kid, I didn't know what to do. She tries to explain to me everything, that love may not last forever. They hid it from me that I started to cry.
          The truth hurts, but you can never hide your secrets forever. Everything will be revealed. After knowing everything else, I came out of the blue, I got back on my own feet with my hero's help and to my parents as well. I want to thank them a lot, because of them, I grew a lot stronger since that day. I promised to my parents that I will be, must be and shall be a better parent to my children, if not better, the best of the best.
          Well, that was the story of a new hero, my aunt, a real hero, aside from my parents, teacher and God. Her name is Evelyn Asistin. She may not have super powers but she has the potential to be a modern hero. A whole-hearted person, you can never, never, never... take away her generosity and sincerity to help a person such as me. God is good, He gave her to me, because of that, Thank you God!
