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.
