Nine Violations in a School

In a school, there are some events that are not good, or we can say that there are violations that a student sometimes do with a reason for their doing. Below are some of the violations present in a school as I might say. I’m not saying that we can find all of these in a school. There might be a possibility only.
Let’s say that the lists of violations are divided into three sections, mainly violations while entering the school, violations along the campus, and violations inside a room.
In the first section, it consists of violations while a student enters the school. It is composed of two violations mainly:
When a student enters school, there might be a violation will be involved immediately such as those who doesn't wear their proper uniform. Sometimes, there are students who forgot to wear their ID. In the school where I belong, we are having the proper haircut for boys and having the nails cleaned off. For some instance, some of the boys in our school didn't get their hair cut shorter even though they were warned about their own haircut.
Also, there are late comers or students who come to school late. I know that it’s not their fault for them to attend at school late, but rules are rules. All of us were bounded by those rules so there mustn't be any exception. We entered the school knowing about those rules, so we should just adjust our time in order for us not to be late.
As we enter the campus, the second section comes next, which is composed of violations within the school premises. For this instance, we can say that it is composed of three violations.
When you enter the gate, you will see different places in which there are corresponding students who were tasked to clean a specific area. That is when one of the violations enters. In some cases, those who were assigned to that area will not clean because of some reasons such as that they were possessed by laziness and that they forgot to do an assignment that’s why instead of doing their task, they will do their own assignment.
When we have our recess, most of the students will go to the canteen. I know that this violation is one of the rarest violations. It is that when a student will get a food, but they will not pay that certain kind of food, instead they will play the mind of the assigned person for the “cashier” and will cause confusion to them which may lead for them not to pay. Let’s say that it is considered stealing, but in reference to other place.
When you go in a comfort room, you will observe the sanitation in every cubicle. But, there are instances where you will observe how dirty each cubicle is. Every time I see this particular violation, I always wonder one thing, “Is it hard just to flush the wastes that we release in a cubicle?” We just need to have 2-3 flushes in the toilet. It’s as simple as that.
Last but not the least; we have the third section where it is composed of violations that can be found inside a classroom.
First, inside a classroom, there will always be a person that will bully his classmates. That student will take advantage of others. He will make fun of someone all the time even making someone to be ashamed in front of others.
Next, this is also one of the rarest cases that we might ever see, stealing someone’s belonging. Oh, this one is considered as common cases. Even a missing ball pen, or an eraser or other belongings has a possibility that those objects were stolen from you.  This violation was brought by one sin, jealousy. If a student is jealous of someone’s belonging mainly because they cannot obtain it. The only thing that we can do for it is to be careful. Even if those persons that you’re with were with you for almost a year and more, don’t let yourself to be deceived by it.
One of the last violations is not passing your project on time. For a common student, he will think that “Oh, it’s still a week before the end of submission. I will just do it next time.” That is one of the reasons why students cram always a day before the deadline of a project. The only solution for that is not to think about that kind of idea and finish your project early.
The last violation that will be involved is none other than cheating. There are lots of reasons why a student cheat. Desperation because of time, laziness, and lacking of idea are some of the reasons why a student cheats. To prevent this kind of violation, the only way is to study harder and don’t be lazy while having class.

Does Texting Affect your English Skills?

http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/media/2010/04/jejemon.jpg
Most of us, texting became a part of our life. Everyday, every minute, some of us have textmates. Most of us were bored having the correct spelling of each words they type while  having a reply to their textmate, making those words shorter, making it invaluable with the information in relation with our english vocabulary. "cge, nnnd2 na ko.". Those are some examples of words that they referred to be shorter for easier texting.
They eliminate vowels, consonants as long as the thought or the receiver might guess or might think the appropriate word that they mean. Right now, there are some terms that we refer to as "jejemon". "helow phhooowwzzz, kkamoouzzta phhhoowwwzzz???". This is an example of a text with a jejemon format. Yes, I know that it makes their time to consume more if they text like this. They're just making each word longer than others. I know that it's just according to people's taste.
Let's say that I'm one of those who text everyday, but I only have one textmate everyday. I'm a type of a person who doesn't refer making each word shorter, but there are some instance where I use shorter words such as "cge, k, panu, aun" and others. I know that since texting became somewhat a part of my life, it somehow affects some of my vocabulary, ONLY if I am texting but if it is in terms of having in our everyday life, it doesn't affect me.
There are some that can be affected by their texting capability. But, it's up to the person if it will affect his/her vocabulary if he shortens the texts he/she has.

Happiness Mixed with Melancholy

            When I had our last day for that month specifically, it felt like time passed by slowly, it felt like it was making us feel the last moments of class for that month. When we had our recess in afternoon, one of my classmates asked why is it that even though that the schedule of giving of our cards will be next day, still none of us were worried about it. The only answer that reached my mind is that we will finally have our long period of rest when we reached our sembreak! Time passed by and it's been 1 minute before 5:00 in the afternoon when we had our final countdown. My heart beat fast because it's almost time. When the hand of the clock reached 5:00 in the afternoon, we shouted with joy, it felt like our freedom was finally handed  (it does not mean that we don't have our freedom when we have our classes.). That's when I became filled with sadness.
            It's the last day of the class in this month...and it is the last time that I'll see her for a long period of time. I know that our sembreak will only last for one week, still it is a very long time for me. But the best ting is that the moment when I went home at that time was one of the BEST moment that I ever had. It was a memorable moment for me. But there's a question in my head, will my sembreak be those days that will make me happy? 
            When I woke up on the first day of sembreak, it felt so uncomfortable for me because I'm already used on waking up early. It's the same time when I realized that I woke up 5:00 in the morning without knowing that it's sembreak already. Even though it's only the first day of sembreak, I already missed her so much. Still, I somewhat made promise that I will be happy for the whole sembreak so I didn't mind it at first. Well yes, the first day of sembreak was good and it turned out well.
            Also, even though that I told myself that I will sleep early, I stayed late at night at that time. I watched Bubble Gang and by that time, I remembered the happy memories that I had when I was in second year and the memorable moments I had this year. It made me happy but on the other side, it made me sad at that time.
             For the rest of the day, sembreak was quite fun and enjoyable until it reach 6th day of sembreak, I was filled with melancholy. It made my heart sunk at the bottom part of what it can reach. I can't even force myself to smile. I can't explain much the reason why I became this sad.
             I felt that emotion for three consecutive days. After those days, my melancholy was filled with so much happiness in myself. Also, at those days, I started doing my assignments. Even though that I know that few days were left for me to finish my assignments, I still can't focus and my laziness draws me in. But for the last day of sembreak, I was focused enough while afternoon.
            For me, the sembreak was quite fun even though that there were days were I felt so much loneliness. The best thing was that happened in sembreak was that I enjoyed it and I rested enough to sustain my needs for sleep, I guess. Also, we had a stop on the flow of assignments and projects present in school.
