Students should choose what they like to read. This is something I like to agree with, but it's not practical in a classroom setting. In the first place, not all students like reading, and not all students who like to read like to read the same material. This means not all the students in the...

I think it's good, but I don't recommend it. Some kids would reason out that, "Why do we need to read the book when we've already watched the movie?" And these are encounters that I generally avoid with my nephews and nieces, especially my younger sister who would rather watch the movie instead...

I'm not that strict when it comes to how people perceive books. For me, I always spend most of my time searching for new books in booksales instead of bookstores. Either way, in both settings, I search for books that: For non-fiction books, things that dwell around Asian History (more on...

I did, though they were different teachers. Most of them taught some part of English, though, and a lot of them persuaded me to either join the campus newspaper to participate in inter-city and inter-region competitions, and I've actually won a few awards because of them. But most of my teachers...

Definitely the way it's connected to history. I've always wanted to collect old maps of places and cities and imagine the tactics and the movements soldiers did and generals decided on when places are being attacked or defended. I've always wanted to observe the history of Japan and China from a...

I've been exposed to music ever since I was a child. But if we're talking about the time when I started to actively look for songs to listen to, it would definitely be the first year of highschool - because that was the first time I was given my own MP3, haha! Which means I have all the means to...

I love it because I want to give life to my ideas, I guess. I've always had this tendency of buying sketchbooks simply so I could have a clean sheet to draw on whenever I feel like imagining a situation - and creating it for real. The feeling is amazing, especially when you get to draw the thing...

This depends, actually. In college, because History isn't a major part in our curriculum, we tend to fast-forward different periods and eras, which means we don't get to discuss them a lot, as much as we have a lot of notes about them. I think if we just took History a little bit more seriously...

Ever since I was in Fourth Grade, I think. I got amazed by this classmate I got who could draw quality-level manga (Japanese comics) at such a young age. This actually got me started into looking into games and cartoons and anything with fancy images, and got me into drawing. This eventually...

I do, to a degree. I admit, I'm not good at it, but I also admit that Math is a fundamental part of everything we do in our lives. None of anything in the world is possible without having a degree of math in it. I appreciate Math because it has an "exact" way of explaining everything to us - no...

I'm not good in Math, and I don't think I actually "hate" it. But I think the most difficult thing in Math was to learn it in a classroom setting. Being in a classroom means having to adjust to whatever speed the class adapts when learning lessons - and because we're supposed to follow a...

Definitely Physics. At least, the short time where we actually dwelt upon a little bit of quantum physics. I'm really fascinated with the theories and all, but I generally didn't appreciate our other subjects (Biology and Chemistry) pretty much because we focused more on the "computation" and...
