History


    We Filipinos celebrate Araw ng Kagitingan every April 9, every year. Araw ng Kagitingan is also known as 'Bataan Day' and 'Bataan and Correigidor Day". We celebrate this to pay tribute to the Filipino and American soldiers who died during World War II. It shows respect to the fall of the Bataan peninsula during World War II.



In celebrating this, alive veterans from World War II will parade in some cities in our country, the Philippines. All Filipinos gather together to celebrate this; even our president will give a speech on this holiday. It is a day to pay tribute to our history. It's a way to thank the people who sacrifice their lives just to ensure that we achieve our freedom.



Lastly, it is important to recall this day because it reaffirms our unity as Filipinos in our country. Knowing our history proves that we really deserved the freedom given to us by our brave fellow Filipinos. Big respect to the soldiers who fight for us.

The next day, while sitting at my table very early in the morning, a sudden thought occupied my mind. I realized that I needed to step out of my comfort zone. To explore the things I like and the things I'm good at. During this exploration, I discovered that there are many things that I'm good at, such as playing scrabble, badminton, and even driving a motor vehicle. Exploring things is a happy thing to do.             As puberty hits me, my interests started to change. Back then, I'm not a fan of watching movies because I find it very boring but now it's my favorite thing to do. I found comfort in peaceful & quiet place. I can be loud sometimes but ironically, I really dislike noisy places because they irritate me. On the other hand, t...
