When We Were Very Young
critique
In another box set that my parents got me when I was younger contained four books by A.A. Milne. 'When We Were Very Young' is a collection of poems that Milne wrote for his son Christopher Robin. This is a book that is full of references to Mr. Edward Bear, but a lot of the poems give some various descriptions of life of a very young child and where, when, how and why they do what they do. The illustrations are quite cute for you can see what Christopher Robin is and may be thinking. Also, Pooh Bear does make his self-known at various points. I have read these verses many, many times over the years and each time make me feel good about myself.

Eighth grade
Eighth grade my last year in what is known as middle school aka junior high. This is a transition year for most students for high school starts the next year. This is year that was all about learning more about the state that you live in from its' history to its' government. Our voices were all changing for the boys and the girls, and you would think that some us were actually left behind again for some reason some students did not fit for good reason (they seemed to adult looking) in many ways. Our various talents were tested from writing, singing or playing an instrument, or drawing and painting along with the practical arts of mechanical drawing and/or home economics. When I was in school, boys had industrial arts and girls had home economics. In the seventh grade my homeroom was the home economics room and I saw how to operate a sewing machine along with a washer and dryer. I knew how to cook and clean up the kitchen at home for I was a latchkey child to a point.

Contraception: It's Not Magic, It's Science
In a society deeply rooted in traditional beliefs, conversations about sex education are often met with hushed whispers and avoidance. As a young college student navigating the complexities of adulthood in the Philippines, I have noticed a palpable absence of discussions surrounding sexual health both within academic settings and social circles. This silence, heavy and all-encompassing, speaks volumes about the pervasive knowledge gaps and limited access to reproductive healthcare, particularly when it comes to contraceptives. The taboo surrounding the topic is like an invisible forcefield shielding it from open dialogue, leaving many young adults ill-equipped to make informed decisions about their own bodies and well-being.
