     My grandmother wanted me to become “God-fearing” and faithful like her. When I was younger, she took me to every block rosary, novena, and prayer meeting that she attended. We also went to church every Sunday, whether it be at 6 AM in the morning or 6 PM in the evening. Because of it, I was able to memorize most of my grandmother’s prayers and all the worship songs we sang at times. She was even proud that I was able to lead the rosary at a young age and participate in their prayer meetings. I tried to be like her, pray like her, because I saw that God always answers her prayers, and I thought that maybe, He will listen to me too. However, as I grew older, I still have not found a connection with God.      Watching the video, I saw that Kevin and I were similar. I had also felt this emptiness, the need to be satisfied. This is one of the factors that caused me to evaluate why there is a need to believe in a God. As I started to learn more about the wor...

 What is atheism? Based on the testimony of Kevin, a former atheist, why is atheism a destructive thing?      Atheism is an ideology where people do not believe that there is a God. Kevin, the guy in the video, said that he also did not believe in the afterlife. "Atheism made me feel free, powerful, and in control", this led Kevin to fill the emptiness and dissatisfaction he felt through pursuing power, pleasure and possessions. However, in pursuit of finding the satisfaction he wanted, he was cornered by depression and became miserable. From listening to the testimony, Atheism is deemed as destructive because individuals, like Kevin before, were not able to find the inner peace or satisfaction they were looking for. Their endless search for peace of mind results to the inability of feeling "whole" which can later cause depression and the likes. Apple had a wonderful work/business and career.

He said that there is no problem in crying, but there's also no given reason to cry in the first place. My grandma taught me...

"MARILAG"      During this time when the whole pandemic started, it felt like I was in a dark place. It felt like we were all being tied down by how the world is spinning around now. A lot of people were dying not because of the virus, but also because of the corrupted and this, made me feel hopeless and angry. However, as months went by, despite the anger I still feel, I have finally found a way to channel it into something better. The painting was inspired from a song with the same title by an OPM band, Munimuni, which says that: " Hindi maitatago, hindi maikukubli. Ang mundo ay binabalot ng iyong pagbangon muli. "  (It cannot be hidden, cannot be concealed. The world is being enveloped by your rising again.)  Despite the people who choose to bring us down, silence us for speaking the truth about their wrongdoings, I know that, in the end, we can still rise from the evil and amplify the voices of the oppress.  SCORE :87/100

Discussion question What important take away did I learn in this lesson?      I learned that it is important to choose the right people who will surround me in my everyday life as they will affect how I grow as a person. My mom and my grandmother are some of the people who continue to influence me as I grow up.

Being independent is essential for survival, but when you ever feel like you can’t do it anymore, you can always ask for help from the people who matter to you the most, since they will always be there for you.

It doesn’t have to be only be your family, you can also surround yourself with your friends, teachers or basically anyone who you can look up to. Surrounding myself with these kinds of pe...
