Formulae

I couldn't help but be teary-eyed as Mr. Tabares was talking in front of class. I never knew I'd be touched by what he was saying. He was disappointed with our scores in the recent long test. He talked about doing well in math 21..and about being mediocre..A C and a D is mediocre. As Ateneans, we should get higher grades... I was guilty..I was one of the people who were mediocre, getting a C in math 18a and a C+ in math 18b. I was always contented with getting whatever score I got. Basta hindi bagsak..basta hindi D. And now, in math 21, all I want is a D..Lord, please..wag naman po sana ako maka-F...I know it's wrong to wish for something like a D...but with my class standing (22 pts to get a D!) I know I couldn't get a C...(Scholar pa naman ako..no 2Ds or 1 F!!!!) I'm too mediocre. With my desire to be good in a lot of things in my acads, I fail to give more priority to math...I practice almost everyday though...but my concentration and my willingness for math just disappears when its LT time..

UNDERSTANDING + APPRECIATION = MASTERY

On Friday, Mr. Tabares is going to ask us to write an essay on what grade we think we deserve...If I'd be honest, I want to get an F..just to get the feel of getting an F in a 6-unit course...for me to wake up (as if i'm not awakened...) as soon as possible...But on the other hand, I guess I don't need to get this F to work harder. I NEED TO WORK HARDER NOW. I want to get a D..if there is any consolation...My dream A or C is far, far away...Kaya naman e...Kakayanin.. 22 points to get a D...(from 10 points..to 22 points!)
