4th essay I made for my BC 12
ABORTION: BRINGS POSSITIVE OR NEGATVE EFFECTS ON WOMEN?
Abortion is the greatest cause of
death in other counties and also here in the Philippines . Every year, nearly
half a million women have abortions in the Philippines. Although it is true that abortion
would be helpful in preventing pregnancy, I believe that abortion has a greater
effect, on the physical, emotional and moral aspects.
Abortion can affect the woman's physical aspect. It can lead
to severe
bleeding known as haemorrhage due to the
torned and punctured uterus. It can damage the woman’s cervix. The
cervix may be cut, torn, or damaged by abortion instruments. If that cervix of a woman who has undergone an abortion has
no problems at that time, there may be problems encountered in future
childbearing. It can produce scars on the uterine lining. Suction tubing, curettes, and
other abortion instruments may cause permanent scarring of the uterine lining. Scar tissue within the uterine cavity can partially or
completely obliterate the normal cavity and can interfere with conception, or
increase the risk of miscarriage or other complications later in the pregnancy.
It
can damage the woman's internal organs. When
the uterus is punctured or torn, there is also a risk that damage will occur to
nearby organs such as the bowel and bladder. It can lead to death - Other
physical complications from abortion including excessive bleeding, infection,
organ damage from a perforated uterus, and adverse reactions to anesthesia may
lead to death.
Abortion
leaves emotional scars. Feelings of guilt are among the most common
immediate as well as delayed reactions to abortion. Guilt is a normal reaction
that usually surfaces after the woman recognizes that abortion is wrong and
that she has consented to the killing of her pre-born child, the burden of guilt
is relentless. Depression and sense of
loss. Depression is a mood filled with sadness, guilt and feelings of
hopelessness. Women
who feel this doesn’t have the ability to look at other babies and pregnant
mothers. Feelings of rejection, low self-esteem, guilt and depression are all
ingredients for suicide. According to one study, women who have had abortions
are nine times more likely to attempt suicide than women in the general
population. (Ann Saltenberger, Every
Woman Has a Right to Know the Dangers of Legal Abortion. p. 19, quoted in
Reardon p.129).
It affects the woman's morality. A fetus is a member of the biological species homo sapiens (human
being) . To destroy a human being deliberately is unethical (it's murder).
Therefore, abortion is unethical, since it constitutes the deliberate
destruction of a human being The majority of the women would be likely to
disapprove an abortion unless the woman had been raped, or unless she had
health problems relating to her pregnancy, or unless she were financially
unable to take care of a baby. If, then, it is a virtue to act in accord with one's
principles, many of the women having abortions seem not to have this virtue and
are acting in a way which will not advance their possession of it.
With these, I can say that abortion brings negative effects on the
womans physical, emotional, and moral aspects. Human
life is "within" and the mother's body is preparing for the child's
arrival.
One of a mother's mission is to protect her young.
A society that labels abortion as "women's health care" has no true
understanding of what women need or want. The Declaration of Independence
declared this the "unalienable" right to life. Therefore
abortion should have not been legalized here in the Philippines.
3rd essay I made for my BC 12 subject
THE THREE KINDS OF LOVE
It is
undeniable that the vital role that “lectures” play in the lives of
students are to educate and entertain them at the same time. Lectures are
activities where an adult would discuss something and share his experience with
students. On a hot afternoon of the “intramurals” week, all of the fourth year
students (including me) in our school were told to gather in the function hall
to listen to a lecture. This lecture during my senior year in
highschool have taught me about the three kinds of love called Eros, Philos,
and Agape.
I learned that the first kind of
love is Eros which is also called “erotic love”. It comes from the Greek belief
in a God called by the same name. It is a selfish kind of love that seeks to
conquer and control. This kind of love is based more on physical traits. I have
experienced this kind of love when I was still in my sophomore year in high
school. I have a huge crush on this guy who was of the same age as me. He is
the ideal prince I've always dreamt of loving. He is tall, white, cute,
charming, and intelligent. Since he is my crush I always try to catch his
attention but sad to say, he never ever
have noticed me. I was hurt because of that I got angry at him and I never tried to talk to him after that.
I learned that the second kind of
love is Philos. It is a kind of love based on friendship between two people. It
is a unique kind of love, like the love that one has for a friend, a companion,
and brother/sister. It is a love based on give and take, where people benefit
each other in a mutual way. One partner is still concerned with what he/she can
take but at the same time is also concerned with his/ her partners benefit. I
experienced this kind of love during my junior up to senior year in highschool.
This is the time that I can really say that I truly loved and cared for someone. My bestfriend is aways there for me everytime
I need someone to talk to—whatever it is—she will always be there to listen and
give me advice. She is the only person who have been loyal to me and is worthy
of my trust. In times she have problems like love problems, but mostly financial
problems, I always let her borrow my money. I know she is ashamed and she feels so low everytime she
borrows money at me so I always tell her that I don’t really need the money since I am
going on a diet. If I keep the money then I will just buy junk food and
softdrinks and those bad foods make me look like a pig and I also laugh and
enumerate to her my plans when I'm already slim. And she always smiles after
that. I just wish that she would be able to enjoy studying in this famous
school like I do and she would never worry about money.
I learned that the third and the
last kind of love is Agape which is also called the “unconditional love”. It is
a totally selfless love. It is when a person gives out love to another person
even if he/she cannot benefit from it. A good example of this kind of love is
the unconditional love of God to us – his children. When God chose to send his
one and only son to suffer and die on the cross for our salvation. Another
example of this is our parents. They always do their best for us to be able to
study in a good school, so that someday we will be able to have a good work,
and so that we won’t suffer the hardships of life, like them. They are always
there for us even in times that we have misunderstandings and quarrels. They
don’t give up on us even if we ourselves have given up on us. They love us even
if they don’t leave a little for themselves. They buy us expensive things we
want while they use old and cheap phones. It is really an unmeasurable kind of
love. So we must always love, respect and take good care of our parents and
family. They are the only people who can love us selflessly after God.
Gaining more knowledge about the three kinds
of love -- Eros, Philos, and Agape-- I
have been able to identify the kind of
love I felt during my past “love” experiences. Learning about
the three kinds of love helped me to identify whether what I am feeling for
someone is a mere attraction, love for a friend, or a selfless love and because
of that I’ve been able to deal with love and give love advices to my friends
and younger sisters.

The second essay I made for my Bc 12 subject
MY ROLE MODEL
There are many people out there,
whom we can consider as a role model. What is a role model? A
role model is a person who possess
qualities that we like to have and who influences us in a way that makes us
want to be a better person. We always do our best to be like them—we dress up
like them, cut our hair like theirs, and speak like them. Of all
the people, the person I admire the most and I consider as my role model is
Angela Zhang because of her simplicity,
personality, and abilities.
She is the proof of the
saying simplicity is beauty. Unlike any
other actress, she dresses simply and uses light make-up. She believes that
beauty is found in ones personality, not on the physical appearance. She impresses
the people around her by staying simple and putting a smile on her face. Another
thing she said; “Sometimes people are
beautiful. Not in the looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are.” so
we must be proud of our own beauty.
She has a very good personality. She
is very nice to all her co-stars and to all their staffs. She loves making
people laugh. She is always positive in dealing with problems. She is not rude
and respects everyone. She fights for what she believe is right .
Abilities? She is full of them. Her
acting skills are very strong that it can reach the hearts of the viewers. She
is very popular in China and known all over the world. She has a very powerful
voice that can project the emotions needed for the song she was singing.. In
2008, she was nominated as the Best Leading Actress in Television Series at the
43rd Golden Bell Awards and in 2009, won as one of the Top 10 Songs
of the year in Hito Radio Music Award.
Having
a role model is a good idea because we learn so much from them . Challenged by
the fact that they are much better than us, we do our best to be much better
than them. Having a role model like Angela Zhang, I learned that simplicity,
personality, and abilities are the key to ones happiness. We must learn
to be contented of what we have because we created in Gods image. Therefore, we
are equally beautiful, talented and good hearted as the other creations of God.
I also learned from her that instead of focusing on what others have and what
we don’t have, we must take a step to develop our own qualities and make a role
model out of ourselves.
The first essay I made for my BC 12
CHANGE
They say change is the only
constant thing in this world. Everything in the whole universe changes as time
goes by. These changes can affect us either negatively or positively. I
believe that within the past three to five years of my life, I have positively
changed; physically, emotionally, and mentally.
I have
developed physically. I began practicing good personal hygiene. If I have spare time, I play sports like badminton. In going
to places at short distance, I always
walk instead of taking a pedicab. At times when I feel bored watching television, I often sweep the floor,
wash my clothes, or clean my room and arrange the things inside my room.
I have changed emotionally. I learned
to treasure good relationships with my friends, my classmates, and my family.
When I am not busy, I always help my younger sisters with their projects and
assignments. Sometimes I also tutor my two younger sisters, Vanessa—Grade 5 –
and Adelita—Grade 3. At times my younger sisters and I are free, I always
invite them to play jumping rope and sing in the karaoke machine. These would
serve as our bonding moment. At night time, we gather in our parents bed (since
my parents sleep late watching television dramas) and I will tell them scary
stories or jokes sometimes (which I personally made) and they end up scared and
sometimes laughing in my “corny” jokes.
I
have matured mentally. I developed techniques which would be helpful in
preventing my bad temper and helpful in controlling my emotions in times that I
am hurt. Before sharing my opinion to someone, I first consider what they would
feel and how they would react on what I am going to say to them. Since I am living alone here in Dumaguete, I
began to practice how to be independent and how to face my problems alone.
Sometimes when I hear someone complaining about the negative personality of
another person, I first observe them –the person complaining and the person
she/he was complaining about—, after I finished observing them, that’s the time
I will judge who has bad personality between the two .
We
all changed through the years not just in our physical aspect but also in our
emotional and mental aspects. I believe that these changes has affected me in a positive way. These physical, emotional, and
mental changes helped me to be mature in understanding life and its meaning.
It also helped in opening my eyes that inspite of the failures I am
experiencing today, there will be a successful future ahead.
