Friendship

              Last February 23, 2013, we had our last Values Education class with our teacher, Sir Obed Joy Gaitan. I think our topic or theme was about friendship. We had to make a big heart with our name on it. We had to tie it on a yarn to make it a necklace. But instead of putting the heart on front, we had to put it on our back, so others can write on it. Then one by one, each group was asked to sit in a circle and the rest of the class will come to you to write something on the heart. The people who wrote on the heart are the people who treasure you and thinks of you as his/her friend; people who became part of their lives; people who cares for you and loves you.  Many of my classmates wrote on my heart, but there is this one person who wrote on my heart unexpectedly on the last minute. He was my best friend then, and somehow things got complicated and we broke our relationship as friends. But because our topic was about friendship and people who you treasure, we both kind of think that now is the time where we need to forgive each other and be friends again. And so, I was really happy when he came to me first and hugged me. I asked then for forgiveness and he too, did. 

              I was happy that that activity happened because I learned something valuable. I learned that friends are like gold because having many friends whom you love and loves you back makes you feel you’re richer than a billionaire. And lastly, I learned that saying sorry is enough to take all the bad times and memories you had with each other.  Somehow someday, you too, will experience these with your loved one. So if you will, be sure to ask for forgiveness because it will solve everything.

We should all thank the Lord for giving us many blessings like our family and friends. We should all ask for forgiveness for the sins we made. We should treasure and love the people who became a part of our lives and to those who will become a part of it in the future. As for me now, I should start by praying.

By the way, that is my reflection about our last Values Education class. =>
