Trapped
Because of technology, man was able to conquer the universe. Look, he launched spaceships and set foot on the moon, discovered the beauty of the other planets. Their testing and launching must have caused the destruction of the ozone layer which protects the earth from too much heat of the sun and the torrential rains. Now that the ozone layer is destroyed, we experience too much heat from the sun and heavy rains.
Some spaceships, however, fell back to earth. These, their residue in the building of the spaceships, their debris and the debris from outer space have piled up and rotten so microbes have developed. These were spread by man, the winds and other elements.
A School Head’s Prayer

FEAR NO ONE
Sometimes we have a valid reason to be afraid. First, is the fact that there were a lot of other people who have ventured on the same thing and failed. So, we simply do not want to end up like them. Another thing is the fact that we usually do not have that assurance of success before we start our plans, so we always end up terminating our plans before it can get started.
Tumbado na si Rizal
Aprobado na daa an pagsugnod sa motor kan IATF. Halaton na sana an ginibong guidelines na iluwas ngonian na semana.
