Sacrificing the most Important Things in your Life - An ICT Activity

Last day, we had an activity about sacrificing six things that are important to your life. The six things I wrote are privacy, love, God, family, friends and home.

In the first round, I sacrificed privacy. I sacrificed privacy, does not mean that I can sacrifice myself. It's the secrets that only myself knows. Because even if they know all my secrets, it's still me, I'm still the real me.

In the second round, I sacrificed home, while other sacrificed food, water, gadgets, etc. Unlike them, I am ready to sacrifice my home as long as I have my family to protect me from any harm and troubles that may come along the way. If I'll sacrifice food and water I'll die, and it's okay to sacrifice gadgets, I can live with no gadgets, for what is important is we our own family.

In the third round, I sacrificed two important things, friends and love.I sacrificed friend because family is more important in our lives. They are the ones that you can count and hold onto when you encounter troubles and failures. I also sacrificed love, because sometime love might hurt you badly by loving the wrong person. True love is in our own family and no one can replace that kind of love.

Lastly, is the most difficult round. It's really difficult to sacrifice the two most important things in your life, which is family and God. I really think hard of what to sacrifice, but in the end I sacrificed family, because God can return all you have sacrificed and He can never leave you alone. He can guide you and protect you from all the trials and dangers. God is just like a mirror, He is happy when you are happy. He is sad when you are sad. But there is one thing He can't do, to turn His back to you by the time you turned your back to Him. God has the greatest love above all, He loves you for who you are and He'll never leave by your side.

In the end, our teacher told us that there is no need to sacrifice, he just challenged is. Now, I learned that you don't need to sacrifice anything, because they are the most important thing you can't live without.

Required Reading: Discontinued by Julian F. Thompson

This book is not about basketball. It is, for example, a great deal less about basketball than Moby Dick is about fishing.

As a matter of fact, this book is quite a bit less about a lot of things than Moby Dick is/ It's about some other stuff.

This is a book about love, and looking for answers, and fishing a new pet. It's about a wild chase and an illegal scam, and some very weird people who live in Vermont.

It all happens to Duncan Banigan. And it all goes to show that you may know the people who want to kill you, but you never really know the people who love you.

"In DISCONTINUED, Julian Thompson once again thumbs his nose at the few remaining taboos of YA literature and gets away with it. The novel -- irreverent and erotic and just plain fun -- is his fourth and possibly his best." ---- THE ALAN REVIEW

Required Reading: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

Hilariously picturesque, epic in scope, alive with the poetry and vigor of the American people, Mark Twain's story about a young boy and his journey down the Mississippi was the first great novel to speak in a truly American voice. Influencing subsequent generations of writers -- from Sherwood Anderson to Twain's fellow Missourian T.S. Eliot, from Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner to J.D. Salinger -- HUCKLEBERRY FINN, like the river which flows through its pages, is one of the great sources which nourished and still nourishes the literature of America.

Required Reading: Diary ng Panget by HaveYouSeenThisGirl

It is originally written in Wattpad where you can read unlimited stories and can also write your own imaginative stories. Read this book, and I promise you won't regret this. It is found in all major bookstores nationwide (Philippines).

About Me :)


Hi! My name is Kate Vertudazo, 13 years old, and although I'm 100% Filipino, I was born and raised in Tandag City.


 As a youth I was heavily into reading books and music. These days I enjoy reading , and also writing short stories. I enjoy reading and I probably couldn't live without it. My favorite genres of books are Romance, Comedy, and Horror/Thriller. When I'm bored, I'll search some books in my house and when I found one, I really enjoyed it and can't stop reading.


I like working with my hands and hate being pinned down to a desk.


The latest lesson in life I've learned in that no matter what you do and how hard you try, you will never be able to please everyone and have to accept the fact that others will try to bring you down no matter how good your intentions are.



 Reading is my Passion and I can't leave without it :)
