“The Lost Girl” Declamation by dhang
I am a girl, young in heart and in mind…
I am carefree, I enjoy doing nothing but play,play and play…
I seldom go to school but hmp! nobody cares!
Instead,you will see me roaming around standing at the nearby canto, or hanging around at the sari-sari store standing beside the internet cafe…

One day I asked, I asked my mother to teach me how to behave, to live, and appreciate all the beautiful things in life.
Would you like to know what she told me?
She said… " Can’t you see, I have to hurry up for my majong session! " So I turned to my father to console me.
But what a wonderful word he did tell me…
" Child, I have to finish my overtime work…Here’s 500 pesos, go and ask your teacher about that question…"

Sadly,I attended my class…
But I heard nothing but the echoing voice of my teacher,torturing me with her words…
" Hey yo lazy girl!
Why waste your time studying those things?
When up to now you can’t even multiply seven by nine?
Go home and don’t bother me!!!"

I am lost…confused…I don’t know what to do with myself…
Where are my parents to guide me?
My teachers to give me inspirations?
My friends, when I play?
I’m lazy and irresponsible.

When I try to study,
I get punished for not being able to answer.
Where now…I’m confused…
Somebody, please help me…
You say that the world is beautiful, why is it treating me this way?
Hear me please!
Help me please!
Help me…
I am lost…

Short Declamation Piece: Desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

    Personal Narrative: My High School Career

    I always thought my parents were a strong couple, that their love would prosper against all. But I guess my dad found out my mother wasn’t the same either because my parents decided to get a divorce. I’m not sure exactly when but I slowly started to develop depression, I couldn’t take it anymore. I quit my job, school was a far off thought, I just gave up. I regret how much I let it take over my life because now it’s hurting me more than I would have ever thought, my future. I now know no matter what, I have to keep pushing my limits instead of letting them push me. I am determined to make necessary steps to improve every aspect of my…

    Mathematics is a content area that students will encounter every year of the academic lives. Basic mathematical skills are taught beginning in kindergarten, and the mathematical content skills increase in rigor and complexity as students move up to the next grade. To help students become successful mathematicians within and beyond the classroom, educators need to be knowledgeable of effective strategies applicable to the mathematical content being taught. As students are expected to learn and apply new found knowledge, educators should be held to the same expectation. The Base Ten Number System and Operations: Multiplication and Division course at Walden University has provided the opportunity for learning and applying effective mathematical strategies while creating a better understanding of improving my classroom instruction to meet the individual needs of my students.…

    TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY

    Most of the time of my life since I was thirteen I told my therapist about everything but he never understood my problems so I stopped going and I handled it on my own. I knew my mother and father were too guilty to be ashamed so I consider them to be guilty all the same. At times I feel that they think I’m invisible and when I’m older I don’t want to see anyone for a long time, I play over and over again in my head my dad’s voice telling me that I will be a “failure” so if I don’t graduate high school I have a plan, I will live off the grid and live my life as a…

    Georgia Gabor Holocaust Survivor

    She taught me that even though when sometimes everything is going wrong, that you need to keep your head up and keep moving forward. She lost her parents, but stayed strong. She was caught two times by the Nazis, and escaped with her family’s help. She was caught a last time, and this time, she was bound to die. While in the tunnel, she could hear the screams of the Jews getting tortured, but managed to persevere and make it out alive. I believe that is important to not give up, as well as keep moving forward even when times get rough. Nothing lasts forever, and that applies to harsh feelings as well. Everyone should remember that if you put bad things in the past, it’ll be forgotten…
