LET'S TALK ABOUT FAIRNESS

This is not to offend anybody. I just want clarify about fairness or favoritism... etc. What I am writing about is only a response on what I've encountered that I personally get affected - when there is a stimuli, there is always a response. It's all started when our drawing instructor checked our activities. He emphasized about lettering with specific measurement. He always reminds us that "it doesn't matter how neat is the drawing is if the lettering is poor, the whole drawing will be spoiled". And not just that, there's a lot more rules on how to make the activity properly. I really appreciate all those rules, although we had those rules already in our minds but not as strict as that of present. This would be a great help for us that we could at least make our activities with certain guidelines and rules to be followed. We were very careful doing our activities last time. The great thing was, our instructor kept watching us on how we did our activity so that we would be guided. When I already done mine, I didn't consult him first because I knew that it'd be alright. Not to boast, my activity if perfectly done not talking about the lettering. I was having a poor lettering with my activity that time, honestly. So, no questions about the object - the Isometric and Orthographic Drawing. Our drawing instructor didn't check mine and some others because of our poor lettering. Without any complain, I took mine back and I will do it again. The bad thing was there were some activities that objects are questionable. The three views of Orthographic drawing are not properly constructed and our instructor already gave rating to it with 90, while he didn't check mine which the orthographic drawing properly constructed. Well, lettering matters not the objects? I am willing to redo my activity again but how about the one which the drawing was constructed imperfectly? Is this favoritism or what? It's not only this thing. Instructors have specific subjects to handle and should discuss everything related the subjects. But it's totally different on what had happened just recently. Our instructor talked and talked which were not related to the drawing subject until we didn't have much time to redo our activities. This happened many times and I never complained but I think this is the time to talk about fairness.

Again, this is not to offend anybody. I just want to clarify.

DON'T HAVE ANY TROUBLE YET

Last school year, I've find it difficult to learn with Math and Chemistry subjects. Yes, those lessons were taught during my High School but that was four (4) years ago. I got lower grades last school year of those two (2) subjects. During those times I didn't feel any discouragement but still have the courage that somehow I could learn despite of the fact that it's hard. I used to encourage somebody to be optimist and so must I.

This school year, I still have Math and Physics instead of Chemistry. So far so good. I feel very much enjoy with the lessons. Our Physics will deal with computations in the next lessons and I feel very much ready for it. We are studying Philippine Literatures too. At first, I really don't have any idea about it. I thought it's only just writings and just read them. But I felt excited as we discussed about the different approaches on literatures. Literatures are written with great distinctions depending to whom the literatures addressed and the main goal of the author of writing them. Before the different approaches on literatures we studied different figurative speeches. That was interesting because I never learned it from high school, maybe I was absent during that time. I only learned 5 or 6 figurative languages but there's more. That is why I really appreciate teachings, because, even I tell myself that I've learned a lot but learning goes on and the capacity to learn is not limited. There's a lot more on this earth that I must learn.

Just recently, during our major, we're learning how to create a batch file. I never learned such thing when I study computer technician course. It is a great advantage for me because I already a background on how batch file works. So, I don't have any trouble with it but my classmates instead. It's not really hard because we're given step by step instruction but others were not paying too much attention never ask questions while they don't really get clearly the step by step instruction on how to create a batch file. [To readers: Maybe you try to wonder what a batch file is, you can just try to google it. :D]

Thoughts about Covid-19

It has been a decade already since my last post and I miss posting some thoughts so much. A lot of things had happened since 2011 until I gr...
