Time flies so fast and one school year comes to an end. Students will march down the aisle to take their graduation and savor the victory of their hardships.
Starry`s English speech presentation is fast approaching. It`s their last project before moving up to another level. Students are busy practicing and memorizing their speech. It took a month of preparation, but I`m proud of them for how far they have reached in learning English.
Every year, Starry`s speech event has a song designated for every student. The song for the 2nd and 3rd grade elementary students is from the movie The Greatest Showman, ` A Million Dreams`. Listening to this song feels grand. The melody and musicality are first-class.
The first time I watched this movie and listened to this song, I couldn’t help but smile widely at the song’s deep optimistic lyrics, the grandness of the instrumental, and the scene that went along with this song.
Somehow, this song manages to lift your mood up and tells you that everything will be okay. To keep dreaming, and to keep hoping, because you can create your own world and make anything as long as you hold onto that dream, and I think that’s incredibly inspirational especially for all the younger generation who will start to take their own path or for the one who will start to create his/her own dream.
Sometimes we get swept up in the stress and monotony of life, but this song pulls you out of that reality for a few minutes to remind you that things can become better and that things will be alright. Because you still have that colorful, bright vision deep inside of you.
Cause every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

But, if I`m going to think about it. If the Philippines experienced winter, it would drastically alter the country's climate, ecology, and way of life. Tropical plants would struggle to survive, and agriculture patterns would shift. I don’t want to happen that in the Philippines. Additionally, infrastructure and daily routines would need significant adjustments to accommodate colder temperatures and potential snowfall. The Philippines was created to be a tropical country and I`m happy with that
