Historical Places at its Finest

As Helen Keller said " Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. " Just like exploring other places, why not we explore the historical places around us. Here in Poblacion, Talisay City, Cebu the Landing Memorial is located with the statues of the 8th US General. This heritage serves as the memory of the liberation forces of General MacArthur that happened during the the 26th of March 1945 World War II.
This place will help you relax and do fun things with your family and friends. The nostalgia itself will give you the feels that this place is historical and should be given importance. As me and my friends explored this place, we saw a lot of people visiting  and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Because of my curiosity about historical places here in Cebu, I was not contented just by visiting the Landing Memorial. I also visited The Heritage of Cebu Monument
The monument was built by the local artist, Eduardo Castrillo with the help of Senator Marcelo Fernan. This heritage represents the symbolic events in the history way back from the time of Rajah Humabon up until the Cebuano martyr, Pedro Calungsod. As I visited the place,  i was amazed by how it was created and how historical it is. Just like the Landing Memorial, these places should be on your list when you visit Cebu. These places serves as the memory and history of our great heroes, that's why we should not neglect it.
It's all the little moments that make life a very big adventure. As long as we live we should explore more and live life to it's fullest. Visiting these places made me realize that we should know more about the history of our country, because if we don't read and learn about it we can't embrace who we truly are. As Anita Desai said " Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow. "

As soon as we knew the area we were assigned we directly go to the are which is the canteen. As we observed, the school canteen tables were not cleaned and their dusty. The leaves were scattered near the garden and some of the leftovers of the students were not thrown properly. Upon seeing the canteen we did our best to clean it and make it good enough to look like a new and improved canteen.  After we cleaned the canteen, we rest a little bit and we cleaned our classroom. Since our classroom is not organized and its not in good condition, We, the Grade 7 Courage helped each other in cleaning and making our classroom a better room to use everyday. We mopped

On January 27, 2019 we had our Family Day. It is a yearly and special event in our school campus, because it is where our families and friends gather and bond together. Before the event started the officers of grade 7 were asked to come early and help decorate our booth. I came early to help and to have fun as well before our Family Day. After we decorated our booth we decided to have a practice for 2-3 rounds and after that have lunch. After we practiced my friends and I decided to eat lunch at Mcdonalds and be back after we eat.
