To stand in front of 32 unique students is a great honor that any teacher can have. It is unique in the sense that teachers are seeing the students future but also building their own future. You read it right!!!--- TEACHERS OWN FUTURE. Some young and carefree group of middle schoolers might not give so much thought about the teachers' gospel of life and may look at it as the same nagging words they heard from their homes. This rebellious and defiant nature is surely brought by raging hormones of physiological growth that was been experienced by the same teachers many decades ago. No one has been exempted in engaging into this battle of growing. All have to pass this stage because this the dynamics of life. With these dynamics, life is indeed a battle to beat or to enjoy.
Dynamics are processes where all generations have been created. They are processes that are interrelated and can not be broken. One unique aspects of dynamics is the reality of cause and effect. What has been molded, built and created today will become the realities and the pictures of tomorrow. Considering this principle of dynamics, the middle schoolers, teachers are administering today will become the agents to continue what is being done in the coming years. If something goes wrong within the process of building the effect will be seen later. There is no available options that will offer every generation the things it wants to take and will trash those that it does not want to embrace. Things, events and situations will manifest as they are, depending on how they are processed. No escape.
In the end, today's generation of teachers are doing their vocations to the best they can just to be sure that the wonderful world and life that had been won by our foreparents will continue to flourish and each generation will savour the fullness of their rights for an ideal place to live with dignity. Time will pass and today's teachers will grow old, retire and expire. Middle schoolers will mature and will leave the teenager stage of life. Together with the passing time is the expectation that each one should accomplish the roles and responsibilities expected. This reality is now in the process of transition towards the new generation of the middle schoolers. Life is a school that offers free learning and its lessons are always harsh and painful. That is why only very few found its wisdom.

The Happy Prince Reflection
The story of "The Happy Prince" is a modern fairy tale that reflects royalty (Prince) with an extremely opposite ending. The is no damzel in distress who is saved by a perfectly handsome prince and the living happily ever after has never been a captured ending. Inshort, no illusions, just a pure picture of the real society governed with human judgments and obsessions to material and superfacial beauties. There are several issues that can be learned and discussed in this amazing fairy tale. To mention a few; the lines of the people who had praised the statue before in his grandeus display of wealth and power and the opposing convictions of the same people chastising the lack of charm of the same poor statue after will show how human society regards the display of fancy things in life.Another point to be considered is the paradox "the sadness felt by the Prince when he already has a heart of lead" (p.6). The paradox displays a nearly perfect picture of how weatlh and status can strongly influence the person's total impression of life in general. However, the point that will be ellaborated further is the projection of the Swallow's personality.It is very interesting to note that in the begining of the story, the Swallow had never had any intention of becoming the bearer of goodwill." I can not stay for I "must" to go to Egypt. My friends are now enjoying at the Nile and building nests on Baal-bec". The Swallow had stressed the importance of reaching Egypt and joining it's friends celebrating the fun of summer. It's main purpose to stay on the statue is to take temporary shelter for a night to regain its strenght for another long journey the next day. Never had the Swallow thought of getting stuck to the mercy of carrying errands for the Prince.Fortunately, the tears and lamentations of the Prince had drawn the wandering bird to acccommodate his request.
The swallow was stopped and was "dragged" as Prince's courier not because of its willingness to do the job but because it was caught in the situation where the choices of following its desire and accommodating another's desire were at stake. The Swallow had accomplished and acccommodated the request out of obligation. An obligation to do good to the Prince who has no capacity to move around and do things for himself. Eventually, the few flights of goodness and the unselfish giving of the Prince have successfully appealed to the soft spot of the Swallow's heart. The Swallow developed a deep connection towards the Prince and its true good nature was unveiled. Eventually, it was very difficult for the Swallow to leave and it made a very good choice that defines its very purpose in its life---TO STAY.
Just like the Swallow, there are instances that in our lives our plans are well defined and the way towards them seem to be very smooth. Unknowingly, there are instances that will hamper and stop our journey. Often, these instances will drag us to the situation where we will be asked to do things that we do not want to. In this situation, the struggle between doing what we want and what the situation is asking us to do is the crisis that neeeds to be overcame. It requires one tough decision that will surely change the pattern of the life we wanted to follow. The difficulty will sometimes be burdened with the thought that decisions will always have consequences. Consequences are often the hardest to deal because they are the aftermath of any act of decisions we made. The duration of how long to suffer the consequences are always undefined.
In the story, the Swallow has displayed a very good paragon of how to deal with the crisis of making decisions and choices. The Swallow decided to take the act of doing good. It's action has shown to us that the decision to do GOOD things will always be rewarding. DOING GOOD is truly the ultimate source of real HAPPINESS. Finally, all of us are challenged to answer the question, HAVE I BLESSED SOMEBODY TODAY BECAUSE I CHOOSE TO MAKE A GOOD DECISION AND TO DO GOOD DEEDS IN EVERYTHING I DO?

The Paradox of The Happy Prince
Please explain this paradox:
" When the Prince had a human heart, he didn't know what tears were. Now that his heart is made of lead, he cries."
