Values Education:Transformation

It is said that an individual is composed of a body, a soul and a spirit.
Though at one glance it could be considered tripartite but each is actually intertwined and interdependent of each other. The outer man which is the body either suffers pain or enjoys pleasure. The soul which is the inner man is the conscience, telling you what is right from wrong. And the spirit which is the at very core of a person is the breath of God the one that keeps an individual alive.If the spirit lost its connection to the its Maker then the soul easily succumbs to depression, insecurities and fear of the unknown resulting to a poor representation of the self. But if the spirit maintains its closeness to its Maker then the soul feels secured, free and satisfied. Resulting to a positive self disposition and a healthy outlook in life.

based on my readings: Victory Over Darkness by Neil Anderson


Elementary students, instilled with values to last, while having loads of fun.

High schoolers, being informed to be transformed, totally getting serious with the parent-volunteers.

Prof. Aguirre:

Maricon: 
[raising her hand]

Prof. Aguirre: 
Kindly read this passage Ma'am.

Maricon:
[reading the passage]

Prof. Aguirre: 
[Maricon, done reading] 
She sounds good, no? What do you do administrators if you have several teachers in Reading and you have someone like her and you want to standardize the way your students pronounce their words? What you do is record her voice and play it in each class.

[Trivia: The Philippines was under the rule of the Spaniards for 333 years. Therefore, a lot of Spanish words were adapted by the Filipinos in their conversations like the word no. Unlike the no in American English connoting a negative answer, the no used here is equivalent to "isn't that so?" seeking confirmation from the listener that the statement is true.]
