Friends
A friend is someone or something whom you know well and you are fond of. He, she or it may be an alley, supporter or sympathizer. When both of you are in the state of being friends or both of you have mutual attachment to each other, you have created a thing that is what we call friendship.
It is a great feeling to have a friend who cares. It does not come naturally. There are some good friends and people that only pretended to be your friends.
There are some characteristics that help in identifying a good friend. A good friend can be trusted because friends do not tell your secrets. They are honest with you. You do not have to worry that they are talking behind your back. A good friend stands for you because real friends do not make fun of you in front of other people. They are on your side. They will be there for you no matter what happens. A good friend cares about you because friends put your needs ahead of their own. They understand when things are not going well, and they try to help you. A good friend accepts you because in real friendship, things like skin color, family background or culture do not even matter. They accept you, and you would accept them.
If there are characteristics that help in identifying a good friend, there are also characteristics that help in identifying a bad friend. A bad friend pressures you into doing things that are not right. He or she insults you, judges you and gossips about you. He or she does not care about what you have to say. He or she does not support what is important to you. He or she tries to control how you act and think. He or she tells lies about you behind your back. If a friend starts doing thes things, it is a big signal for you to find another friend because having no friend is better than having a bad friend. One way to say it better is that it is the characteristics of a friend that determines wether they would make a good friend or not.
Friends are important because we rely everything on them. If we have problems and frustrations, we depend on them and we do the same to them. Whenever we are sad, they make us laugh and cast away all our tears and fears. Friends are important because we can talk to them anytime. A true friend does not leave us no matter what happens, they are always there in times of troubles and dangers. Friends are important because without them, we would be lonely and we do not have someone or something that could rely on. Other people treat their friends already as a family member. In Telenovelas, the usual situation is a fdriend leaves his or her other friend but when they grow up, they meet each other again. Sometimes, a girl friend meets his boy friend when they grow up and they live with each other.

My Family
A family is a group of individuals living under one roof and one head. It is a social unit usually consisting of the father, mother, brothers and sisters. The father is a male parent. He is the head of the family and his role is to find job in order to feed his children. The mother is a female parent. She is the light of the house and her role is to take care of the children but in other families, the mother is the one who finds job while the father is the one taking care of the children. The role of the children is to bring happiness and laughter in the house. Whenever the mother or the father is tired, they make their parents laugh and cast away all their exhaustion.
My family is consist of my grandmother, father, mother, two aunts, elder sister, myself and my baby sister. We live in a house that is not too big and not too small, it is just right for all of us. My grandmother is already sixty five years old this coming February nineteen. But in spite of her old age, she has still a job. She is a fish vendor. My father has no job. He is only in the house. He takes care of my baby sister. He is the one who manages our small eatery. My mother also sells fish. She is also a fish vendor like my grandmother. Sometimes, if she has no fish to sell, she helps my father in managing our small eatery. My elder sister is already fifteen years old this November fourteen. She is already in the second year of her high school life. She is presently studying at Camp Lapulapu National High School. I am already twelve years old. I turned twelve last January twenty two. I am at my first year of high school life. I am presently studying at the University of the Philippines. My baby sister is already four years old last January twenty. She is only at the house because she is not yet studying. I have two aunts. My first aunt is a lesbian but even if she is like that, she has still characteristics that show that she is still a girl. My second aunt is paralyzed since she was still in grade three. Now, she is studying for the course Cosmetology at AVRC located at Katipunan, Labangon. She has gone there last year during the month of April. She would be back this coming April because she has to stay there for one year.
My family is composed of eight members. Even if we are a big family, but we live peacefully. But like other families, we also have some misunderstandings but it only lasts for just an hour and things will be alright again. Sometimes my mother and my father quarrel because of financial problems. If I or my sister asks for something, my mother would not easily give us the things that we need, she still confirm our father and he would be the one who will give us what we need.

Being a Filipino
I am a Filipino because the color of my skin is brown, my eyes and my nose are not too big and not too small. I am a Filipino because my mother and my father are both Filipinos. I am a Filipino because I was born in the Philippines.
I am proud to be a Filipino because the Filipinos have some good characteristics like hospitality, politeness and bravery. I can say that the Filipinos are hospitable because all the Filipinos accepted the tourists that gone here to the Philippines. When the tourists come here in our country, the Filipinos tour them to all the places here in the Philippines because the Filipinos are very proud of the different wonders of our country. I can say that the Filipinos are polite because whenever they meet each other during morning, they say "Good Morning", during afternoon, they say "Good Afternoon" while during evening, they say "Good Evening" even if they do not know the people they meet. They greet each other because greeting other people shows respect to our fellow Filipinos and it shows that all of us are on the same boat. I can say that the Filipinos are artistic because many Filipinos are known almost all over the world because of their skills in Arts. Some examples of the Filipinos who are known all over the world because of their skills in Arts are Antonio Luna, Felix Resureccion-Hidalgo, Fernando Amorsolo and many others. Until today, many people are still artistic. In fact I have a classmate who is very good in Arts. He is Fidel. I can say that the Filipinos are brave because our ancestors fought for the freedom and independence of our country. They were not afraid. Until now, I still believe that many Filipinos are brave and courageous enough to defend our country. They are ready to serve our country.
The Filipinos also spend their holidays happily. They spend their holidays with their family and relatives. During Christmas season, some people from other provinces go to their families and relatives in the city while other people from the city go to their families and relatives in their own provinces. The Christmas of the Filipinos is worth remembering because in this holiday, all of their relatives are gathered. It is not only during Christmas that the relatives of the Filipinos are gathered but also during birthdays, fiestas and other occasions. I am also proud to my fellow Filipinos because they are known for their talent in singing. Some examples of the well-known singers are Lea Salonga, Regine Velasquez and many others.
I know, I should be proud of our country, the Philippines because even though our country is only small, but we could shout it to the whole world, because of our well-known Filipinos. Now I have already known the reasons why our ancestors have defended our country from the colonizers. It is because they already know that when all the Filipinos are united, we can make a better country without the help of other people.

On Being Taught by Students
The feelings that I have experienced when I was being taught by my fellow students are being happy and pleased. I was happy because somehow, my teacher is also my friend so I can easily express my thoughts, ideas or feelings. I was also pleased to my teachers because in so many months of teaching, I know I have learned something.
The Know Your School Day activity is offered to the teachers who did not give up or surrender on teaching us even though we are very awkward and too clumsy. The activity was opened by a program. When I was being taught by my fellow students, I have seen in them the hardships and trials the teachers have to overcome in order to give us some good lessons. I was also pity to the teachers because of their sacrifices for us. During the classes of Social Science, I did not felt bored and sleepy, not like usual that when Madam Logarta is teaching us, I feel bored and sleepy. During the Filipino class, I was amazed with the student teachers because there were seven of them and they keep on telling jokes especially Jhon Rhey. During the English class, I have appreciated Patrice because even if she is only one, she still managed the class well. During the Science C class, I like the way on how Patrice and Jeziel taught us while in the Science A class, I was not too glad because there were four of them and every student teacher has their own topic. Isabel took much time than Grace, so she has not able to discuss, but a week later, Madam Gallo gave her the opportunity to discuss her lesson to the class. There are subjects that the students have able to apply while there are some students who did not apply for that particular subject. The activity was also closed by a program.
When I was being taught by my fellow students, I did enjoy and I did have a great time because I have known the hardships and the obstacles the teachers have faced. During the Know Your School Day, I have appreciated the student teachers because they have done a good job. I have also appreciated the teachers because they have done a good job in making us learn. They also helped us in storing memories in our minds. I only experienced this activity here in the University of the Philippines because we have not done it before. For me, the Know Your School Day activity is the best activity I have ever met because in this activity, the student's skills are developed. I know that many students in the University of the Philippines like the Know Your School Day activity because in this activity, they can show their love for the teachers. The Know Your School Day activity was very memorable. I like the event but, actually I was not hired to be a student teacher. I know I did not make it this time but I know I can make it next time and I know that I would make a great job.
