because now i realized that evrything that happens to us has a purpose.
while watching the inconvenient truth i felt a sadness in me because of the main person in the video that is disabled in many things. but the main character is satisfied in his life and lives it with joy and happiness. the man has a good faith in god and he never blaimed anyone on why he is like that and thats why everyone who knows him loves and appreciates him as a good man.

At first I taught that all of my teachers are the strict very but when the days pass by I proved to be wrong because all of my teachers are nice.

About my classmates at first I have a hard time making friends because I am the type of person that does not approach anyone to introduce my self. but some are already my friends because they were my classmates before.

About my academics at first I have a hard time adjusting into it because my mind is still on vacation during those first week but now I find my academics just fine and easy to manage because I already trained my self to do things without the helps of spoon feeding process of teaching.

Regarding on my emotions i think nothing has change or needs to be change because I like it the way it is.

And about my social environment now i have to talk to other people because you cannot live alone in your college life unlike in my highschool I also learn to interact more with others and blend to their tune.

I like my first year in college to be exciting and to be productive. And forme to achieve this I have to exert more effort in my studies and again enjoy my social life.

http://mc0y.blogspot.com/2007/06/how-does-values-education-works-as.html

How does VAlues Education works as an advantage in your college life

Values Education works as one of my advantage in my college life, in many ways.
It helps me to communicate with others without offending them. It makes me feel confident when it comes to my gestures and manners because I know I have been taught well. When discussing sensitive topics it helps me decide whether what to do or what to answer properly. And it also lets me know my limitations in certains topics or happenings. Values Education has many advantages in my college life that i have to explore for proper usage and nurturing of it.
