Road to Success: Roads Were Once A Steep Mountain

  How To Stay Motivated To Reach Your Goals, 21 January 2020, Retrieved from  https://oregoncounseling.com/article/how-to-stay-motivated-to-reach-your-goals/          Another reflection, another quarter has been finished. It seems like the school year has started but with the current situation, time is flying so quickly. The things that I have learned from the 1 st to 3 rd quarter are sometimes hard to understand due to the lack of discussion but somehow, I get everything done. There are constant barricades of challenges along the way but alongside it, is constant learning.      An obvious example of challenges that I have constantly faced during this Self-Learning System this school year is the poor internet connection.

Heroism: In the Genes of Filipinos

  The Battle of Bataan and the Bataan Death March, Jo Brick, April 10, 2018, Retrieved from  https://thestrategybridge.org/the-bridge/2018/4/10/the-battle-of-bataan-and-the-bataan-death-march     The celebration of the Historical Battle of Bataan or mostly known as “Araw ng Kagitingan” is done to commemorate the sacrifices and bravery of our fallen and veteran soldiers that fought alongside the United States against Japan in World War II. The Philippines had a critical role in the said war because they became a part of the strategy of the United States, in the leadership of General MacArthur, to drive the Japanese away from their conquered islands which became successful.      The Japanese captured our soldiers and forced them to move them to Camp O’Donnell and make it into a prison. The captured soldiers were starved to death and were treated as slaves. They did not give them food to eat and water to drink. They were placed into boxcars in San Fe...
