Be Strong Enough

           Aeneas encountered many challenges in life. Being the leader of a group is already hard responsibility. If you see yourself lying on the road of dirt, you will just let yourself there. Aeneas is not like that. He still stand strong to fight for their dignities.

           Aeneas fought Turnus. Turnus was killed and he loss. I can tell that Turnus can’t accept that they were defeated by Aeneas. Aeneas just did his best to win the battle and he just trust himself. He did not quit what he has started.

           Everyone of as experience challenges and we can deafeat them as long as we trust ourselves and we just continue fighting for the correct one and just believe to God. He is always there for us.

Creusa and Andromache

         A family is composed of children, mother and father. Each of them has their own responsibility in their family. For me, the mother has the greatest responsibility at all.

         Creusa, the wife of Aeneas is very understanding and loving. She did her best to stop Aeneas to fight because she knows that it’s not easy to survive in a battle. But Creusa let Aeneas to join the battle for his countrymen because Creusa knows the responsibilities of Aeneas

        The wife of Hector named Andromache is very caring and understanding. She knows all the responsibilities of Hector as the leader and she is not that demanding. She let Hector to fulfill his destiny.

         If you loved someone and if you understand him/her, you will sacrifice everything and you will give what they want as long as it’s the correct decision.

Sacrifices

              If you really like and love something, you will do anything and sacrifies everything just to get it. Like Aeneas, he sacrifices everything. He fought for his countrymen and he did everything to look for other land for them. Leaving his own city is not so easy for Aeneas. His countrymen and the Trojans are his inspiration I think. He still stand strong and fight for the right. He did his best but nothing’s happened and everything became worst. Many died in the battle with the Greeks. The city of Troy was destroyed. I felt pity for Aeneas because he did his best for his countrymen. Maybe Aeneas think that if it is possible to bring back the city of Troy in the old one and the better one, he will make it.

              We are like Aeneas, there are problems and situations that we encountered and it is like we need to sacrifice everything to solve and to get something we really want but don’t make ourselves like an idiot if we raelly know that the things that we want are impossible to get.

The Mysterious Smile

          Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting has inspired romantic songs and art lovers the world over, who become captivated by the Mona Lisa's enigmatic smile. The smile of Mona Lisa is so amazing and mysterious.

          The smile of Mona Lisa is so magical but intriguing. When I looked at the picture of the painting, I can say that she is happy, she is sad or mixed of emotions. Her face is so beautiful as well as her eyes. Her curly hair, I love it. But the most attracting thing in the painting is her smile. I think no one can copy that smile.

          The painting became famous because or her smile. It’s really amazing.

Meeting Rizal

         It was a very serene midday when I got into a restaurant, spending my time in doing school works while having my lunch. I sat on the next table, which is occupied by man who is wearing a hat and tuxedo. A very serious and influenced man who is reading a newspaper and seems to be thinking of something. At first glance, you won’t noticed that he is one of the most historical person, ‘cause he don’t really show his ideal look. But, when you look to him in straight and prudently, you would really know him. He noticed me of looking at him in a curious way. I wasn't expecting of meeting him. It was not just of meeting him, he stand off where he is and sat on the opposite chair where I was sitting. He then, talked to me and said “ Aren't you’re a high school student, right?” and I simply answered “Yes, Sir.” Who would be thinking of that a very famous hero of our country would be having a dialogue to a simple third year student.

As we started the conversation, he asked me of why do I keep on staring at him. I answered “Sir, I knew it was you though you hide a little bit of your look. But, I knew it was you.” It was so grateful of meeting him. Talking about so many things, especially about studies and our nation. Then, he also shared about his life. Where did he spend the most important part of his career and the contributions to our country; in the history of our country. I also take advantage of this exceptional meeting to him. I had open questions and opinions about philosophy. Nowadays, we are facing challenges which would be interesting and proficuous to hear Dr. Jose Rizal’s opinion about them anyhow. After those conversations, he asked me of going somewhere where he would show me some of his works and spend some of our time discussing those matters.

          But one could ask me, why expressively choosing Dr. Jose P. Rizal for this, and not some other great heroes of our country from history, like Bonifacio and Aguinaldo. Giving a perfectly rational reason is impossible for me. But if one carefully considers the life of Dr. Jose Rizal from an historical point of view, he would certainly remark that only Jose Rizal has been at the same time a multidisciplinary talent of highest level and a quite recent figure in history.

Circle of Violation (SCHOOL)

         It’s a dark morning when I arrived in school. When I went down from my service, I saw a gate of darkness. I entered. There was a scary voice saying, “ Welcome to the gate of darkness and you will see the major violations in school”.

        As I continue walking, I saw the 1st circle of violation and it is called THE CHEATERS. The souls here are the souls of the people who cheated. The 2nd circle is called THE UNFOLLOWERS. The souls here are the souls of the persons who did not follow the rules of the school. The 3rd circle is called THE BACKSTABBERS. The souls here are those who back stabbed the teachers and the other school members. The 4th circle is called THE BULLIERS. The souls here are those who did bullying. The 5th circle is called NOISY STUDENTS. Here are those who are noisy inside the room or everywhere in the school and talking about nonsense. The 6th circle is called THE LATE COMERS. Here are those who are late in flag ceremonies and classes. The last circle is called THE TEXTERS. Here are those who are texting while having classes.

       After I saw the circle of violation, I saw the exit gate. I went out of the Gate of Darkness.
