Equallity for Everyone

They say that no man is an island and even if you're lonely sometimes, there will always be a person who will care for you. And men are made to be with women and women are made for men. And together they can do a lot of things like building a family and helping each other to survive. But in today’s time inequality is arising. It has a lot of negative effects to women and to the world. Women feel like they have no sense in the community and they do not feel important because of how men treat them. They treat them like slaves and they don’t appreciate their skills. And that changed the meaning of equality where everyone's right is equal and should be respected. Unity is being forgotten but we can bring it back again. In order to achieve equality, we made laws to respect and protect everyone’s right. Through that, equality can be slowly regained. But some countries don’t have these laws and don't consider women’s rights but we hope that they can make laws in order to achi...

New Me>Old Me

It’s a new year again and it’s a new start and new chances for everybody. Everyone has their or new year’s resolution because it’s a tradition to everyone that if a new year starts, we make plans on what we want to accomplish throughout the year. Last year taught me that in every challenge that you face, you learn a lesson if you try to face the challenges. It teaches us lessons that we can use in the next year and opportunities come in the next year. My goals this year is to be more serious in my studies, be more open to people around me and make more friends. Last year I didn’t have a new year’s resolution because I was not as responsible as I am now. But now, I will try my best to accomplish my new year’s resolution and make my parents proud. I think that 2019 will be a wonderful year for me. Reference: https://www.headway.org.uk/media/4572/a-new-me-logo-image-link.png?width=390&height=246&mode=crop&anchor=center

4th Quarter: The End

It's been months of learning lessons and facing problems. Months of memories and hardships that made us stronger and pushed us to our limits. These memories made our bond stronger and we can use this bond in our future. The four quarters were hard but we got through it. A lot of lessons learned from our subject and we had our teacher to guide us when we need help and don't know what to do and of course we had each other's back when we need help. Through this, we managed to go through and learn from the challenges that we faced. But we all know that everything has an end. This was a great experience and a joyful journey, months passed and memories were gained. I will never forget these memories with everyone.
