Essays

JM is currently enrolled in the summer program of Wordlab School, Inc – Alabang. One of the concentrations of this program is the simple format for essay writing, which includes stating the main idea, providing supporting details, and wrapping up with a concluding sentence.

This series of six essays include one wherein JM talks about himself; the task given him was to think of how to best describe himself.

In the next five essays, JM synthesizes the answers of his interviewees (some teachers), when he made a survey about what each of them would do in the event of an earthquake – as well as other topics concerning this issue.

Essay 1:
Who is JM?

JM is the sweetest son of his parents. JM’s parents are Nitoy and Lala. JM is with his parents every weekend. He is sweet to his parents because he loves them so much. JM loves Nitoy and Lala.








 Essay 2:

Where the Teachers Want to Live

I asked Sir Cyrus, Ma’am Den, and Ma’am Leslee where they want to live. Sir Cyrus and Ma’am Den want to live along the beach. Ma’am Leslee wants to live in a village in Alabang. They want to live there because they feel protected along the beach and in a village in Alabang. The teachers will protect themselves.




 Essay 3:
How the Teachers Will Prepare For An Earthquake

If they hear that there is an earthquake, the teachers will prepare for it. One teacher will hide under the table, but the three teachers will evacuate their houses. On the other hand, one teacher would stay in a safe place. I learned about how the teachers will protect themselves.



Essay 4:

How the Teachers Would Feel If There Was an Earthquake

            I asked five teachers how they would feel if there was an earthquake. 20 % of the teachers said he will be shocked, unlike 20 % of the teachers who said she will be relaxed. However, 60 % of the teachers said they will be scared. Most of the teachers will be scared.



Essay 5:

What Would They Do After an Earthquake?

            The teachers will relax after an earthquake. One teacher will sit down and relax. On the other hand, two teachers will go back inside the building or house. Another teacher will listen to the news, while one teacher will check the house if there are cracks. However, one teacher will ask the security if it is okay to go out of the building. The teachers might celebrate because they are happy.



Instead of the teachers coming up with a backgrounder for JM, he was asked to make his own:

I am JM. I am 14 years old. I am male. I am cute. I like playing basketball. I want to take up HRM in college. I am good!
