REFLECTION
Some says that the longer you wait for something , the more you
will appreciate it when it finally arrives. The harder you have to fight for
something,the more priceless it will become once you achieved it.And
the more pain you will have to endure on your journey,the sweeter the
arrival at your destination. All good things are worth waiting for and
worth fighting for. So we must don't lose hope because there is hope as
long as we breath. Just like one of the prisoner says that we must don't
lose hope. Mistakes may be a chapter in our life, but it will not be the
whole story. Life is equally about how we rise after we fall.

It was a pleasure upon visiting the prisoners in jail at Misok

Sindangan Zamboanga del Norte and it was my first time to be there.
Through this visitation I saw their abilities and talents in dancing and
acting. They did entertained us and give us a reason to smile.They did
their very best to draw a picturesque pics in our heart. Some things
they have drawn in our heart is that we should don't lose hope, we
should study seriously and do good always. These things brings a great
impact for us students. Because through this, we can estimate and see
what life we may had in the future if we will just ignore it. Their life
being in prison was like birds in the cage. They don't have a freedom to
fly or to go over where the wanted to go. Just like the prisoners we've
visited. So,if we wanted to have freedom, we should do good always.
No matter what things we may encounter in our lives,we should do the
right deeds and not the wrong deeds. Despite of the things that will
bring us downs, we should never lose hope. As the saying goes" there is
always a rainbow after the rain. " So, there are solutions to all of the
problems that we may encounter. Just do what is right. For "God does
not create a lock without its key. God does not give you a problem
without its solution. Trust Him! " May the God of hope fill us with all joy
and peace as we trust in him, so that we may overflow with hope by the
power of the Holy Spirit."

According to the Holy Bible found in the book of Romans

chapter 14:1-4 " Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing
judgment on disputable matters. One man's faith allows him to eat
everything,but another man, whose faith is weak,eats only
vegetables.The man who eats everything must not look down on him
who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not
condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him." We people
don't have a right to judge someone.So,we must not judge the people
around us." Let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead we
should make up our mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in
our brother's way."We must do what is right.
