Come What May

“When the going gets tough, the tough gets going” –a group of simple words but has a deeper meaning as a whole. Some might say this statement is just typical sentence composed of not so hard words. Yes, we can know the definition of these words without consulting the dictionary. But the question is do we really know true meaning of this idiomatic statement? What does this statement want us to know?

It just tells us that when things go hard, strong people don’t give up. If a person is strong enough he won’t let anything to hinder him from doing things he want, from reaching his goals. He won’t lose hope that he can do it instead he will set his mind that if he really wants it then he will do it anything regardless of how hard it is. He will not think that the thing he wants or he dreams is difficult to get that he will stop reaching it. What he will he think is that nothing is impossible if he will work hard for it.

It also applies to our problems, we cannot avoid from having them. We all have problems in life, we just need to have the strength to overcome this. We cannot solve our problem if we will think that we cannot do anything about it, so better not to try anything and just let it. Let us think positively, let us be positive that problems are going to be gone if we will face it.

It implies us that we just need to have self confidence.  The more it takes hard, the more we should be strong. If we want something then go for it. We have to be strong in this life. If we won’t be strong then we will be left alone unsuccessful. Take those successful people in the society. They won’t come that far if they give up easily. They won’t have what they have if they let those problems or challenges to block their way to their dreams. God gave us the strength; we just have to use it.

Math Festival 2011

From a year with fewer events, here we had our Math Festival for this year. Expectedly, we had different activities related to Math of course. In the morning, we had the Math Trail, Math Quiz Bee and the presentation of contestants for The King and Queen in every section for the four year levels. The crowd was cheering out loud for their representatives as if the contest has begun already. After this, the oral phase for Math Quiz Bee in which only the top ten teams from the written phase were chosen to compete. While Math Quiz Bee was still on going in the gym, the participants for the Math Trail are very much eager to finish every station and become the first team to finish the whole trail.

The students kept on cheering as the contestants for the G. at Bb. Sipnayan started own the stage as they presented their selves and their year level. Every student was shouting for the name of their candidates. Some has their banners for the candidates to show their full support to them. At the middle of the Contest, the Math Jingle participants of each level performed their prepared Math Jingles to show up their talent while applying what they had learned in their Math Subjects. Every team was so energetic while performing that everyone enjoyed their presentation. Going back to the G. at Bb. Sipnayan, the participants showed up their own talents proudly. After the talent portion, they proved that it is not only the talent they’ve got but also the wit. They answered the question given to them intelligently. At the end of the contest, the third years are so proud that Michael got the title for the G. Sipnayan and as well as the fourth years for their batch mate who became the Bb. Sipnayan. Though she did not get the title we are still proud for Jam who got the 1^st runner-up for doing her best and giving her full participation for this event.

With the hardwork of the people in Calgeotrists’ Society, Math Festival was done successfully for this day. It gave us students the enjoyment for the whole day. The time we got to mingle with other students while participating in different activities.  Once again, the society had proven that they really deserved the approval of our principal to have this fest.
