Tamang Pagpili, Tungo sa Pagbabago

ni Diana Kristina Casandra E. Zerna

Makikita natin ngayon na tayong mga kabataan ay nagiging mas aktibo sa
usaping pampulitika, at nagiging bukas na rin ang isipan natin sa mga problemang
pampulitika ng ating bansa. Sa pamamagitan na rin ng mga medya at internet, makikita
natin kung anu-anong mga problema at klaseng mga pinuno ang meron tayo sa bansa.
Ikaw? Ako? Tayo? Bilang mga kabataan, paano natin mababago ito? O di kayay
maging bahagi ng mga hakbang tungo sa pagbabago? Paano natin magawan ng
solusyon ang mga problemang hinaharap natin sa kasalukuyan dito sa ating bansa?
Bilang isang kabataan, naniniwala ako na ang aking boto ay isa sa mga mahalagang
hakbang tungo sa pagbabago at solusyon.
Mga kabataan, kailangan bang ipilit nating ihalal ang maling tao, kung mismo
tayo alam nating hindi niya magagampanan nang tama ang kanyang mga
responsibilidad? Hindi ba kay sarap isipin na mas maiiwasan natin ang mga problema
sa ating bansa kung hahalal tayo nang tama?
Huwag tayong matakot at magpaladala sa kinang ng salapi na itatapal sa atin
upang mabili ang ating boto, dahil iyon ay sentimo lamang kaysa sa milyon-milyong
perang makukurakot nila sa kaban ng ating bansa. Huwag rin tayong magpaladala sa
mga pangakong hindi naman tinutupad kapag hawag na nila ang lakas at
kapangyarihan. Alamin muna natin nang mabuti ang katangian, karanasan at nakaraan
ng bawat kandidato.
Piliin natin ang mga taong alam nating kayang gampanan ang mga
responsibilidad na kanilang haharapin kapag silay nasa posisyon na. Kailangan maging
maingat, mapanuri, at mapagmatyag tayo sa pagpili ng mga pinuno dahil sila raw ang
tunay na Lingkod Bayan, na magbibigay sa ating bansa ng kapayapaan, kasaganaan
at katahimikan.
Marami tayong hinahapag na solusyon, maraming inisyatiba pero kulang sa
aksyon. Bilang kabataan, ang tungkulin natin ay kumilos, mag-aral, maglingkod, kumilos
para sa pagbabago! Sa pamamagitan ng ating simple pero napakamahalagang gawain,
naniniwala akong makakamit natin ang inaasam na pagbabago. Kayat tayoy
magtulungan sa darating mga halalan! Magka-isa tayo para sa matapat, mapayapa at
malinis na halalan. Magka-isa tayo dahil nasa atin nakasalalay ang kinabukasan ng
ating bansa lalot higit ang kapakanan ng susunod na saling lahi.

Expository:

Going to college can be expensive. First, college tuition and room and board can cost anywhere from
$2,000 to more than $10,000 per semester. Other expenses make going to college even more expensive.
For example, books typically cost between $100 and $500 each term. Second, materials are also very
expensive. Paper, notebooks, writing utensils, and other supplies required often cost more at the college
bookstore than at any local discount department store. For instance, a package of notepaper costing $2
at a discount store might cost $5 at a college bookstore. Finally, there are all kinds of special fees added
onto the bill at registration time. A college student might have to pay a $50 insurance fee, a $20 activity
fee, a $15 fee to the student government association and anywhere from $500 to $100 for parking.
There is another fee if a student decides to add or drop classes after registration. The fees required to
attend college never seem to end.

Cause-and-Effect:

For many teenagers, there are numerous negative factors that can lead them to give up on their
education and drop out of school. The first cause is that many teenagers lack positive role models in
their lives. The lack of an encouraging adult in their lives can cause them to think negatively about
themselves and it does not allow them to live up to their full potential. Also, the lack of a positive role
model can cause them to get involved with the wrong kind of people and activities. When students get
involved in these types of negative situations, they usually don't focus on school. This can lead many
impressionable young children to give up on their education. Another factor that causes a student to
give up on school is a lack of determination. If they're not determined to graduate, it can be very difficult
for them to stay in school. Many students find it difficult to stay focused on school when they when they
feel that getting an education is useless. Some students only attend school because they are forced to
and they are not there to further their education. The third and final factor is peer pressure. Many
students give into pure pressure very easily. If the pure pressure is negative, this can lead them into
drugs and alcohol. The drugs and alcohol can cause them to drop out very easily because that is the only
thing that they are focused on and it can easily ruin a child's life.

Narrative:

The most embarrassing moment of my sophomore year was how I earned my nick name, Crash. It all
started right after school when I turned on to the busiest street by the school. First I pulled up right
behind this truck at a stop sign. After a second, a fellow older student told me that I was really close and
that I was going to hit the truck in front of me. At the moment I was trying to tell the kid that I was giving
a ride to to get back in the car because he was hanging out the window. Since I was distracted, I thought
the long line of traffic had started to move, but it hadnt. In the blink of an eye I hit the back of the truck
in front of me. The devastation sunk in. I was so worried that I damaged the truck, but all that I did was
scratch his bumper. Lucky for him! Then it came time to look at my car. My car was ruined. The hood
was buckled, the front end was pushed back, and my headlights were broken. Humiliated and scared, I
still had to drive my totaled care home. During School that year, I never did hear the end of what had
happened that day.

Using Illustration:

Wrestlers put in lots of time and effort to even become considered great or even somewhat good.
Wrestlers run five miles every morning and lift in the mornings as a team. Practice goes from two or two
and half hours a day. Practice includes takedowns and other technique work for athletes. They also have
live matches and intense conditioning after words. Many serious wrestlers have to work extra by doing a
hundred takedowns and stand ups a day to make them better. Dieting and strike workouts run many
wrestlers lives by having to make their weight limit every week. To be wrestlers, people have to be
mentally tough and physically tough. It is a sport made for men, not little boy.
