The Sixth Meeting Entry

What is the first word coming up on your mind when you hear the word challenge? Many words can connect to this word, but for this girl, the word hard will best describe the word challenge. Challenges are coming along the way without noticing it. It will help us to feel stronger and more confident after accomplishing it. Challenges is a sign of determination because it allows you to think and strive for the trial you are accomplishing. It is a part of life that make us true.

Have you ever accomplish a challenge of reaching to a certain top?.. Reaching to the top is so hard, you must work hard for this accomplishment. It is like reaching but not sure in life because you don't know whether your going to reach it or not. The "Tatlong Krus" is located at Paete, Laguna. That place is very famous for their sculpting technique. Several people are trying to reach the top of Tatlong Krus and at the same time attend the mass and pray. Last May 2005, we went there to attend and pray. We want to feel relax and peaceful. My aunt told us and challenge us to go up there because it was a beautiful and relaxing place. She said that while going up you will not feel tired especially when you reach the top. We prove that you will not feel tired as we walk to reach the top. Some of the people were walking striaght they will only stop when they will drink water and wipe their sweat. The others are pausing to a station to pray the rosary. It's like The Way of the Cross. There are cemented stairs to walk on, but several are not. The way is zigzag, but a wide one. The day we went up is the day of its fiesta, so there are so many people. When we reach the top, we saw people playing palo sebo and other different old games. After a few hours we reach the top, a mass was celebrated. Everyone was participating and praying deeply with their hearts. After the mass, we ate our lunch and rested for several hours. It was really fun... We went down late in the afternoon and I notice there are still people going up.

This challenge was very fun and relaxing. Accomplishing something is a grateful thing we can offer to ourselves. Can you share one of your accomplishments?
