KYSD: What Is the Feeling of Being Taught By a Student

Know Your School Day, popularly known as KYSD, is one of the most awaited events here in the University of the Philippines. This event gives way to the students to show their teaching talents on other students and teachers. It gives them chance to teach others what they learn from the teachers.

Basically, KYSD is celebrated for one week. But this year's KYSD was only just for two days. Still, the students and the student-teachers were glad for having this two-day activity.

I did not apply for a teacher this year because I am tired of teaching others as what I have experienced the other years. Sometimes, you have to be excused from the class because you have a class to teach to. Although tiring, I still find it enjoyable. You get to know the lesson well than any other classmates. It is fun to teach people about your learnings.

The feeling of being a student still this KYSD, is self-fulfilling. Self-fulfilling in the sense that you are relaxed of such responsibility and you enjoyed every minute of discussion.

The professional teachers are incomparable to the student-teachers. But the student teachers did their job well just like the professional teachers. Some of them imitate the professional teachers by copying their style of test and their way of discussion. I find them very responsible ones. They took the challenge for they are determined to join such activity.

Having student-teachers make me feel confident in answering orally. It is because they are just my classmates and so I am comfortable to answer their questions whether I commit a mistake. And also, I find the class so noisy if the student-teachers will be the one handling it maybe because of the mentality that they are just your classmates and not some professional teachers.

But even though they are only students pretending to be teachers in those days, I still have respect on them as what I have for teachers. When the noise seems to kill their discussion, then that's the time that I will keep my mouth shut. Student-teachers must be respected as what we do on professional teachers.

KYSD is also a special event for the teachers since it gives them time to relax with all their school works. It is so memorable to them because students tend to give them a thank-you offering. It may be a form of presentation or a form of letter written by the students, or both. This event is really for the teachers. They are so special to us. They are our second parent, so we must give them our heartfelt thanks and gratitude.

False Friends

Friends carry heavy responsibilities on their shoulders. They are expected to understand a broken heart to the droning sob story that comes along with, to laugh at corny comments when no one else thinks it'd funny, to trail a crush, to share an ice cream, or many others. Genuine friendship requires a touching of hearts and a meeting of souls.
Picking the wrong friend can be disapponting, or even disastrous. Still, more crucial to friendship than choosing the right friend is being the right friend. A good friendship requires goodness in both sides. Moral good ness is the quality that makes friendship possible. Because from this, comes harmony, permanence and fidelity.
We frown on discriminations as we should. But we should always be careful lest while we forge some new friendships.
Friends can be thee when they need you, but once you're down and out, it's going to be a miracle o find them. Some can be clingers that always follow and copy your style. They could go wherever you wil go, wear some perfume and crimp their hair to get your look. This could dismiss the relationship as unhealthy and smothering. They could be detrimental to your well-being. Some could be possessive that they will get jealous when you start talking with someone. And lastly, they could be self-absorbed friends that dive you your blow-by-blow account of their weekend and detailed reports of their daily meals. You may end up wondering if they know anything about you or do they care at all.
Friends could be a pest in our lives. Wrong friends could lead our lives into a mess. They could even turn our lives into hell. But what really matter is that we should endure our hardships with each other's company. This is important in developing friendship.
For a friendship to actually work, it requires mutual compassion, consideration and understanding. We should value our friendships so much. Let's face it, they are one of the biggest part of our lives. They are the keeper of our secrets, the wiper of our tears, and the laugher of our corniest jokes. As what Aristotle said, "without friends, no one would chose to live, though he ahd all other goods."

Question: Why are Guys Checking Out the Boobs?

"They’re out there! Boobs were made for a purpose to catch attention." -Joe. Wow! This statement really alarmed me. I have taken this statement in the Candy Magazine. Who could have thought that boobs were made to catch attention? Well, maybe for some boys. They may think that boobs are there for them to be attracted. Boys like this are surely immature.

Good for me for I have flat boobs. That let me conclude that those boys who like me were attracted with my inner and outer beauty and not with my boobs!

But still, I pitied those girls who are innocent of boy's real intention to them. I mean, some boys may like only your boobs and not you’re whole. Girls should not also display their cleavages to the public for that may look like flirts or indecent women. They may look like helpless romantic when they use their boobs as their assets. Each of us has desirable talents and personalities to be use for good. So, we should not take advantage of what we have just to make ourselves a fool or an indecent one.

Another answer to this question also taken from Candy Magazine is this: "That's a big mystery. Maybe it has something to do with the notion that the bigger the girl's boobs are, the more 'womanly' she is. It's also a way of checking if you're turning gay or not."-Alex. If that is the case, then I am less womanly after all. This is such a lascivious statement from a guy. But I can't blame him if he actually thinks like that.

Still, I want to correct him of such mentality. A woman cannot be measured by how big your boobs are. It will be measured by what you think of yourself as a woman. And if boobs are made as basis or a way of checking if your turning gay or not, then that would mere offend the girls. It is also degrading for the part of the boys for having that kind of measurement.

Boobs were not made to measure how masculine the boys are or how womanly the girls are. They should not be made to purpose to catch attention. Boobs were made to enhance our beauty. Boys who think bad purposes of any part of our body were immature and crazy boys. We should beware ourselves from them.
