Focus and determination build dreams

    Life isn't about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself. We are the author of our own life, it is our key to success. Reginald Laco is just a simple person with a simple dream just like us. Laco is an inspiration to everyone who dreams to be a lawyer.

    Reginald Laco is just is just an ordinary person who became the 4th topnotcher in the Bar exams. According to Laco, he did not expect to be one of the topnotchers in the bar exams. He is a graduate of De La Salle Lipa and considered as DLSL's pride. Laco has less chance of passing the bar exams because according to him, he has only limited time in studying compared to other normal students. Even if Laco doesn't have enough time to review, he still proved that time is not hindrance to accomplish your dreams.

    Laco wanted to help his family so that life will be easier for them. Laco family is not a rich family. Being poor didn't stop Reginald in achieving his dream of being a lawyer. He doesn't have enough time to rest because he has a job on his free time and he also have to attend his classes. Laco showed his hardwork just to reach his goal and become the succesful man that he can be.

    We can relate our lives to the life of Reginald Laco. The only difference in our life and Laco's life is that our life is easier because we are blessed with a comfortable life. We are lucky because we don't need to find a job while studying because we can focus our efforts in studying and accomplishing our dreams. We have a very long time to study unlike Reginald. We have all the advantages compared to others and all we need is to concentrate into our goals and strive to reach it.

    We should not be distracted by anyone or anything because our main purpose is to create our own life. We should not wait for luck to happen to us, we should create our own luck. Don't depend on others because we will not be a man if we just rely on others. We should be independent in able for us to become ourselves. We are the creator of our own destiny, strive for your greatness and learn to trust yourself, but above all, learn to trust God.

Weapon of improvement

    Comski 1 is a very interesting subject because it helps all of us to develop our reading skills, comprehension and vocabulary. In Comski 1 we already challenged ourselves through examinations and activities. We also engaged ourselves in a group sharing regarding the hindrances we had experienced on effective reading. In this group activity I can say that most of us had the same reasons why reading for us is not effective. During our individual activities we had our focus on reading fast and accurate. It means that when reading, our main concern should not be solely on speed but more on our conprehension of the given text because the moment we fail to understand the text, there would be necessity to re-read the whole text again and that would be a complete waste of time. This preference of speed over comprehension on most of us can be reflected on the survey. According to it most of us are bored when we are reading and it is not our hobby. This is the reason why we started to work on our reading plan. Through this reading plan, we will be able to put reading as one of our interests and one of our hobbies, we will be able to set our goals to improve our vocabulary and also our love for reading and through the aid of these activities, we can be flexible in reading and because of good flexibilty in reading we may be able to reach our goals not only on our reading plan but also our goals in our life. Through the activities that we have done, I can say that if we continue to do it, I am sure that our inprovement will reach the success that we want. We must learn to concentrate on these activities because it will bring us to the top. The reading plan is a great project because it teaches us to be responsible in reading. The activities will help me aim higher and I know that it will surely make me the best reader that I can be.
