The Road to Agoo
by truknoiz
Every step taught me trust
Every stone taught me endurance
Every rejection taught me humility
Every person I met taught me kindness
Every moment taught me gratitude.
Every drop of water taught me to cherish the little things
Every crumb of food taught me to be grateful for so many things
Every time I walked in the dark, I prayed for you not to depart
Every sunrise, I learned to hope
Every sunset, I learned to surrender.
Every smile, a relief and joy
Every frown, sadness and disappointment

January-February 2010 - Teachers' Guide
Dear Teachers,
Greetings of Peace for 2010!
‘Creation is the beginning and the foundation of all God’s works.’ We are just part of God’s whole creation. We co-exist with what is around us, for every small thing is also important.
We let go of the past in order for us to continue. We desire to be refreshed as we face the present. Yet we don’t forget to consider the future generation.
January-February 2010 - Our Hideaway
An Eye-opener
By Cristina Grace Gallego
Everything has a purpose, indeed. When I was in third year high school, I was placed under Disciplinary Probation during the last quarter of the school year. The reason was that I had reacted too much with my emotions to the person I was irritated with. I guess it was a traumatic experience for both of us – and with consequences for me. I lost everything. I really felt empty and worthless. This would be reflected in fourth year. I’d be no longer in the best class or a varsity player in our school’s volleyball team.
