Mentally and Spiritually

The Holy Week is a time of reflection and spiritual renewal for Christians around the world. As a devout Christian, specifically Catholic, I look forward to this time of year when I can deepen my faith and connect with God in a more profound way. This essay will explore my personal experience during the Holy Week.



The Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday, which commemorates Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. On this day, I attended mass with my family, and we each received blessed palms. The atmosphere was joyful as we sang hymns and celebrated Jesus' arrival in the Holy City. It was a beautiful start to the week, and I felt a sense of anticipation for what was to come. The following days of the Holy Week were marked by somber and reflective services. On Holy Thursday, we attended the Mass of the Lord's Supper, which commemorates the Last Supper that Jesus shared with his apostles. Good Friday is the most solemn day of the Holy Week, as we remember Jesus' crucifixion and death. Me and my family started the Holy Friday by going or visiting to different churches around the province, which we can refer to as “Visita Iglesia”, after that, there is a procession. Holy Friday is the day that is refered to as the day wherein the Lord Jesus Christ died, as a Christian being happy and celebrating during this day is prohibited due to that reason.  The Holy Week ends with Easter Sunday, which celebrates Jesus' resurrection from the dead. On this day, we attended a joyful mass with uplifting music and hymns. The atmosphere was full of hope and renewed faith, and I felt a sense of joy and gratitude for God's love and mercy. Honestly Easter Sunday is the day where I could say is the day I am looking forward to, because it is the day where people get to rejoice for the Lord has risen, I guess we could already speak of it as a tradition.

 My experience during the Holy Week as a Christian was one of spiritual renewal and deepening of my faith. Through the various services and rituals, I was able to reflect on Jesus' love, sacrifice, and resurrection. It was a time of deepening my relationship with God and strengthening my commitment to living a life of love, compassion, and service to others. The Holy Week holds a special place in my heart, and I look forward to celebrating it again next year. Also my experience as student, I guess I can refer the Holy Week as a “Spiritual and Mental Break” because we all know that being a student is super stressful and tiring, everyday you need to do the exact same thing over and over again, the Holy Week break really did give me some time in order to take a break, to relax from the stress brought to us by being a student.

Additional Knowledge

  During the 1st Quarter Our teacher taught us a lot of lessons mainly the Origin of the Internet. I have also learned the history of Philippine Internet, she also thought us how to write a blog, The importance of Protocool, different kinds of Search Engines and Search Terms.   There can’t be a quarter where there are no problems I encountered. In the 1st Quarter the main problems I encountered are the difficulty in Answering during quizzes, also I have no knowledge in our topic because I am not that good in computer. I have addressed this challenge by putting more effort in this subject and by doing that I can say that I enjoy this subject a lot because It is fun, plus our teacher is fun, and approachable.   Moving on I hope that I can still learn more about computers because this knowledge is helpful in real life. I know I still have more things to learn especially this is still the 1st of the 4 quarters we have in order to finish junior high school.

How fast it has been, I feel like it was just yesterday when we started Quarter 2 and now I can’t believe that I am now writing a Q2 journey draft. In Quarter 1 we learned about the history of the Internet and now we have learned about Html Tags. Q2 was a 4-month long journey, on the first week we studied Introduction to Html Tags, these days I have no idea about tags and HTML because I have no knowledge or background in computers, which is why I have a high interest in this subject, I want to learn new things. Forward to the Second Week, on these days I have now little knowledge about HTML and tags and that is when we had a quiz I remember I did not even study and I barely passed, I remember being so sad because of my grades but when I heard my classmate proudly shouted a score a bit lesser than mine, I kept wondering why he is still so happy regardless of his score so I asked him, and he said “I don’t care as long as I pass” and I just laughed at him for being so simple-minded, I bel...

The ones who created professionals

  Teachers, Educators, or To Our Second Parents, the one who teaches us in school. From the lowest to the highest grade level they are the one who educates us, guide us, and also care for us. A world without a teacher is nothing but a uneducated world, because teachers are the one's who created professionals, without teachers there will be no Doctors, engineers, lawyers, and many more. I wanna express my gratitude to all of my teachers, for their unconditional care and support for us, their student. There is a teacher whom what he said, I can never forget "The greatest treasure or wealth a teacher can have is to see their student succeed". That message have made my respect for teachers even higher. Honestly before he said that I only see my teachers as a Instructor or a grade giver, but now I see my teachers as a Second Parent because they guide me and give me lessons that can later be used in life.
