Trae-alegria

It is actually so important that people become aware outside their circle. At this age, we're all students, all concerned with our physical appearance, and our social stature, or our grades. But there is so much happening that requires our attention. There are over 50 different countries whos people cant even go to the grocery without getting shot dead. So many women who from 15 and younger must industrially or sexualy sell themselves to be able to eat something at the end of the day. It's a fact, everyday someone dies from natural causes, or with their blood on someone else's shirt. Inequality is a huge problem. Everyone has the right to believe what they want, love who they want, see the truth, and voice their opinions. So many of us take these little things we do for granted because all these material nga put us in a transe, keeping us from seeing what's really there, and what's actually happening. We all need to stop being so egotistic and make more efforts to help problems much bigger than what you're going to wear tonight. If everyone is an active participant in segregating trash, joining peace hearings, and protesting for good causes world peace would become more of a possibility than it is an idea.

I would like to start by talking about how our school discriminates sports.
In the Philippines, the most favored sport is unsurprisingly; Basketball. You can go to a park without seeing one or two courts, its seen everywhere from the streets to being replayed on tv.
Of course, there is not any harm in being totally passionate about a sport, however in school setting, i dont think its just to favor it from all the rest of the sports. Every athlete knows their sport is important, and that its challenging. They also know its important to win to prove yourselves worthy to your peers. getting to my point, i find it very interesting that basketball seems to be the ONLY important sport in our school (a close second is volleyball, but that's another story.) the basketball team are very privileged, and everyone notices. Dont believe me? lets REALLY think about it for a second; There are 6 basketball courts in total in our school. the two volleyball courts in our pavillion can be converted into basketball courts, and if that wasnt enough they've also put ANOTHER basketball court outside parked next to the football field. the last two are in gym 3 and in division one, but is used for badminton (thankfully)
after that the whole (guys) basketball team are given school customized bags, shoes, socks, water bottles,( and they are rumored to have a key to a certain beach house which i can neither confirm not deny.) the problem here is recognition. obviously there are so many great teams in this school who have felt more than unappreciated for quite some time now.
I'd like to start of with the baseball and softball teams whose field has recently been converted into a parking lot. Not only have they already been forced to train in ACC due to the lack of facility the school provides,( and sometimes the alternate of practices coming from the frisbee team), but now they're only field has been stripped of them. I'd also like to point out that it was not well-maintained, and like I'd said before was not suitable for much softball or baseball. And for what? its not like they deserve to have their field cut from existence, they WIN, they're an amazing team. Most of the guys baseball team go abroad to play (and win) many tournaments. The softball team has been given no support since they
