Fam day

Family Day 2020

January 26, 2020 is the start of our family day. This event made us all excited because this event only comes once a school year and aside from that we are also excited to spend time with our family and friends. Family day is the chance to spend time with our family because all of us is busy with our own things and we may be away from our family, so this day is a great oppurtunity for us to bond with eachother. This day is so memorable for me because i cant count how many time i smiled this day, there are a lot of good time and great things happened.

Every Family Day has a theme, and for this year's theme includes tribes from the Philippines. Each grade level were asked to present a performance according to their assigned tribes, and that parents should be part of the performance. Everything went well and all families were enjoying every time with their family. After every performance things calmed down and every one was asked to go to their respected areas for them to receive their tickets for them to eat dinner.

You should have no excuse when it comes to your family, because they're the only reason that you are who you are today. You may have some misunderstanding with each other, but it'll all pay off

Walls

The poem ,written by Robert Frost, is about two neighbors who meet in spring every year to mend the stone wall that separates their farms. It illustrates how good fences make good neighbors, and how we can maintain long-lasting relations with neighbors by establishing such walls. Now the USA/Mexico Border Wall may have some relevant parts and some which are different.



History of the Wall

The border traverses a variety of terrains, ranging from urban areas to deserts. The Mexico–United States border is the most frequently crossed border in the world,[1][2][3] with approximately 990 million documented crossings annually.[2][4] It is the tenth-longest border between two countries in the world.[5]


Its impact to the citizen/country/world

The impact of the wall really affected both its people and countries, because it is somehow unfortunate to the Mexicans that they prefer to cross the border because they have a lot of opportunities and a large wage gap between USA and Mexico, but mostly Americans think that it's beneficial for them especially in their economy state because they believe that Mexicans are a drain on the economy the border is useful both countries to prevent conflicts. The border has an impact to the world because it is better to build borders than to create war.  


Its impact or contribution to human relationship

For this reason, there had been conflicts between the two people of both countries and resulting into people to the part of racism in which they harass the legal immigrants and how they should go back into their country. Although the wall may had reduce the percentage of illegal immigrants, which means that the more immigrants that enter their country the wages of domestic unskilled workers decreases, but a study shows that "increasing deportation rates and tightening border control weakens low-skilled labor markets, increasing unemployment of native low-skilled workers", and because of this racism starts to spread and therefore turned a person to hate another person that had other qualities as them.

Relevance to "Good fences make great neighbors"

Robert Frost believes that neighbors should have fences between them, he thinks there should be separation in order to avoid conflict therefore peace is around. The height of the border doesn't matter as long as you have a good relationship with your neighbors. We all know that fences separate properties but it doesn't matter if you know how to handle good relationship with your neighbor. We can be friendly and respectful in terms of their own personality but we should focus on our security by building good fences to keep a distance from them. In USA's part it's good for them to create a wall because they want to be safe, and the good thing is that Mexico has no issue about the wall. They only cross the border illegally is because they don't have enough money.

Relevance to the poem, "Mending wall"

Just like the wall of the USA/Mexico, both countries still have a good relation with each other despite their differences in religion, beliefs, etc.... they still respected each other and even the wall itself and how they follow each other's rules and accepted each other even with a wall dividing them. A wall should never be a sign of ending one's relationship.
