THE MIGHTYNESS OF TWO (CHEMERGY: CHEMISTRY AND SCIENCE CLUBBING IN SYNERGY)

           In our daily lives, we apply and use the different concepts of science.  Everything around our community is a result of studying and doing research related to the subject. New materials are being discovered everyday that will help technology make huge leaps in the field of industry because living and non- living organism in our environment are being studied.

          Chemistry is another helpful tool to attain our progress.  Even if it has a reputation for being a complicated and boring science, but for the most part, this reputation is undeserved. If you take classes in chemistry, you'll apply math and logic, which can make studying chemistry a challenge if you are weak in those areas. However, anyone can understand the basics of how things work... and that's the study of chemistry. Everyone can and should understand basic chemistry.

          The real importance of Chemistry is that it serves as the interface to practically all of the other sciences, as well as to many other areas of human endeavor. For this reason, Chemistry is said to be the central science. It's important to understand chemistry if you are studying any of the sciences because all of the sciences involve matter and the interactions between types of matter. In this case, the power of science and chemistry must combine and this act is called synergy.  Synergy comes from the Greek word synergia, meaning joint work and cooperative action.

          The year’s theme for the science month celebration is CHEMERGY: Chemistry and Science Clubbing in Synergy. This promotes the importance of putting Science together with Chemistry. Science and Chemistry must be in synergy to produce results greater than the sum of the possible outcome when this two work separately. This means that synergy is created when things work in concert together to create an outcome that is in some way of more value than the total of what the individual inputs is.

If Scientist and Chemists work at the same laboratory, more useful things will be created. We're all chemists and special scientist. We use chemicals every day and perform chemical reactions without thinking much about them. So we must not take this for granted. Let us move through the use of these studies so that we could make our way of living more progress in the future. This is a study of everything!

Heroes in Every Season

         Heroes are everywhere in this world. In movies, they are those who save the lives of billions of people because they have super powers. But here in the real life, they are not those who have super powers, but they are those who have super kind hearts. They are our fellows of distinguished courage or ability, and are admired for their brave deeds and noble qualities.      

         There are a lot of heroes arising. But for me, when we talk of communities, teachers are the best qualified to be honored as true heroes. I believe that a man doesn't need to be like Superman, Batman, Super Inggo, Dr. Jose Rizal, Bonifacio, Mabini, etch to be called a "hero". A man doesn’t need to fight thousands of people or write grievous novels and sacrifice his life to be honored and known. Someone can be one by his own little ways by just doing simple things that can mean the most to people.
        

             Teachers are persons who provide schooling for students. They are those who facilitate education for everybody. They are the men and women in profession who shoulder the most difficult task of providing a better education to the country’s future leaders. Others may sometimes see our teacher's job as simple or effortless but being a daughter of both educators, I say that doing their job may consume all of your powers everyday. All they do is to study to supply correct information to their students, check papers, finish grades on time and deal with stubborn students.  Doing their job is very hard but because of their good hearts to help others, they do it with selfless acts even if they only have very low amount of salary. In classroom scenario, the teachers are looked upon by students and pupils as their second parent. Though the teachers are lowly paid, yet they render service not only to students and pupils but also to the community. 

            And in danger and hard times, the hardworking school teachers are always there to give their utmost best to serve the community. 

            During elections, they serve as the election officials facilitating the voters from early morning until late in the afternoon. Serving during election can harm a person’s life but because of their love to their service and countrymen, they still go for it every year.   

           

            Recently, there are many teachers reported for being very good to their students. There are those who sacrificed their time, efforts and money just to give enough education. Teachers also extend their obligations for giving advises about personal matters. They influence their poor students by providing inspirational words. 

           

            Without the presence of our teachers, would the nation have its doctors, politicians, scientists, nurses, next teachers, writers, mathematicians, attorneys, fathers, mothers, psychologists and philanthropists? Everybody knows that no one can get anywhere these days without a decent education and that the nation's welfare depends on an educated populace. Teachers are more beneficial to our nation than anyone else even the overseas Filipino workers earning money of other countries. 

            For all of our beloved teachers, we honor, respect, love and thank you for all of your efforts and sacrifices. Thank you for being our heroes in every season. May God bless you a billion folds for your great actions!
