“A SNAIL WHO HIDES INSIDE ITS SHELL”

                    

       “A SNAIL WHO ONLY SINGS     

                                INSIDE ITS SHELL”

 

 I am Gesus Miracle Peredo,  im 15 year old , currently studying  at Ilocos Sur National High School. I was born and raised at Zone 5, Bantay Ilocos Sur. I have 5 sibling, 3 girls(including me) and 3 boys and my parents are Mrs. Marisel Nancy Inere Peredo and Mr. Gilberto Q. Peredo. My Family are very religious , we always pray at night together and go to church every Sunday. And right now  im going tell you something about myself . . . …

I sing a lot, but it’s always in my own time, when no one else is around except  maybe my family. I am an all around shy person, therefore, getting up in front of people to sing is just not my thing. I have been asked to sing and put on the spot before and I just cannot do it. It bothers me that I am so shy with something that I enjoy spending my time doing. When I’m all alone, I block everything out and I’m not hesitant to express, with my voice, what I am feeling. However, when other people are around my voice goes back into its shell, as it becomes conscious that there are people around, listening. Hopefully, one day I can build up enough courage and my hands will stop shaking every time I get in front of others, so I can show them how important singing is to me and what a joy it is and has been throughout my life to do it.

Strangely, to this day, it still puzzles me because I am not sure as to why this happens to me, but I always get emotional when I hear someone sing who has a beautiful voice. I think this is because when I hear a person truly put their all into a song and really feel the song, it makes me feel what they are feeling and puts me in their shoes. Also, I have found myself beginning to cry when I sing in church or hear people sing in church. By noticing this happening, I have found that, depending on what the song is talking about, it really touches me.

COVID-19 and Children’s Rights

  Children who contract COVID-19 appear to have less severe symptoms and lower mortality rates than other age groups. But in myriad other ways, the COVID-19 crisis is having a devastating effect on children, with potentially far-reaching and long-term negative impacts. More than 1.5 billion students are out of school, and widespread job and income loss and economic insecurity are likely to increase rates of child labor, sexual exploitation, teenage pregnancy, and child marriage. Stresses on families, particularly those living under quarantines, lockdowns and other restrictions on freedom of movement, may increase the incidence of violence in the home. As the global death toll from COVID-19 increases, large numbers of children will be orphaned and vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.   This report outlines key human rights risks to children related to the COVID-19 crisis, and steps that governments should take to protect children’s rights in the pandemic, mitigate its deva...

"CLEAN AND GREEN"

Image
  The environment around us is not only our home but everything that keeps us alive. From the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, our shelter and more, it helps us to survive. Therefore, caring for the environment is something that should be inherent in us. Sometimes, our actions endanger everything that surrounds us, including ourselves. Our interaction with the environment should be in a way that we use the resources that nature provides, but in a sustainable manner. Here is a guide to  what sustainability means  and how to practice it daily. We Only Have One Earth As Our Home Why is the environment important? Although some of us may take this lightly, it is critical to know that we don’t have anywhere else we can run to. If we spoil what we have here, we will suffer the consequences of our actions. If we take care of nature, then nature will also take care of us in return. When we pollute the water sources, we are the ones who will lack clean water. If...
