reflection on our emirsion

Meet jun-jun. One of our kid assistant when we went to our emirsion in "barangay ithan". When we went there, we expected the worst. But thanks to our school they still provided us with a nice house to live for three days.

During our emirssion, I realize how lucky I am to live my life. We're not rich. I belong to middle-class family, but my parents provided us everything we ever need. And yet I still find reasons to complain about my life. I guess it's only human that i complain, about stuff. I know it's not an excuse.

Anyway, what i saw during the emirsion was really an eye-opener of how life is really hard for some Filipinos, of how the corruption affects our people. RizAL, is a beautiful town with beautiful sceneries. But behind those, are the town people's longingness for a beautiful life for their family.

Jun Jun and the other kids who assisted us lack motivation in attending school. They would rather play with their yo-yo's or swim in the batis than to go to school. It's really sad, because I know that a lot of children feel the same way as they do. I remember asking a one of the mother in the barangay, on how come she doesn't motivate her children to go to school. And she just only said this " Wala din namang mangyayari kung mag-aaral sila"

I know you're shocked about this. I was shocked too when i heard that. But who are we to blame them if they do not see a bright future ahead of them.
