“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” - Nelson Mandela

There were no classes (kind of) the whole week because it was Academic Week! Kind of ironic, right? But it was a week dedicated to educational stuff so here goes:

• After so many years of studying in my school, the clubs have finally risen to prove that they exist! Usually, they just hire members and then do nothing for the rest of the year but this time they made booths, exhibits, and garage sales!
• The Science Club made those balloon stuff wherein you pop one and they’ll ask you a corresponding Science-related question (they were all so hard even in the easy section! I mean seriously, what comet hit planet Jupiter? <Google said it’s Shoemaker-Levy 9 and I was like Oo nga pala no!). They also made a watermelon explode as what I’ve seen in 9gag, and other science-y stuff!
• Grade 9 students had a project wherein they had to throw a birthday party so they did! It was a 7th birthday of a 14 or 15 year old girl and the set up was so funny!
• I joined English-related contests but two things were unexpected! Winning the extemporaneous speaking, text twist with my 9th grade partner, and placing 2nd on reader’s theater really shocked me because I didn’t really join extempo in the first place and we only practiced Dr. Seuss’ Oh! The Places You’ll Go! the day before the contest!
• Shoot ‘N Math was really fun to watch! I didn’t join because I believe I suck too much at Math, and so much more in basketball. There is one schoolmate I was really amazed at because he answered all the Math questions in less than 10 seconds (and those were square root and trigo questions, I tell you) and shot the balls effortless, like he was just throwing the ball oh my gosh! He isn’t even on the honors list and not a part of the varsity team!

I am really thankful for this activity because it helped me to catch up on missed homeworks, quizzes, and lectures because I was on camp last last week. I’ll blog about that soon! Photo creds to Wayne, Rlyn, and basically everyone who took shots using those cameras everyone borrowed during the event!
