Unlocking of Difficulties

On March 6, 2013, a great event took place in our school. It was the start of our annual foundation week. Many contests and games were held and big prizes were at stake. My friends and I bagged the first place in the MTAP competition for grade 5 pupils. We were very happy and our teachers congratulated us for being the winner.

Carol’s Diary

The next day I led the program intended for our teachers and principal. The pupil-participants of the program showed their best in singing, dancing, and even acting. It was a tiresome afternoon but an exciting day.

On the third day, we heard mass in our school’s chapel and in the afternoon a sports fest was held. Being with my friends and classmates, while participating in all the sports events is an experience. We joined the relay contest, volleyball, and badminton games.

We also launched the school project dubbed as “May Pera sa Basura” a day before the end of the week-long celebration. We also served the community through tree planting and cleaning the environment.

Finally, the much awaited moment for us was the fifth day of the celebration, the awarding ceremony was held and we received our awards and prizes. I felt so happy and relaxed during the afternoon for I could already rest. I thanked God because I learned many things.
