Seafood Pasta and Green Mango Shake

Last October 15, 2007, the Rotaract Club had Medical Mission with the Rotary Club of Laguna Technopark at Timbao Elementary School. There were lots of people who went there and but it was fun. It was only a half-day event and we went to Paseo after. Before we have our lunch, we went first to Neospot because there was no internet in school. We ate our lunch in Guilly’s at around one-thirty in the afternoon. I ordered Seafood Pasta and Green Mango Shake. I knew that the serving is bigger there. However, I didn’t expect that it is good for two persons. It was only the two of us and we both ordered the same. We should’ve ordered different pasta. We were surprised that we were given little plates. We have a hint that the serving is big and we find it okay, we were hungry anyway. We finished our pasta and shake but we were not able to have dessert because we were so full.

The serving is wider than me... :)

Out of School Youth

Nowadays, many youths are not in school. Some causes of this are lack of motivation, financial problems, and other additional factor. In addition to these, their living environment can also be a cause. In fact, if these youth are with people with no thought of going to school or having a bright future, they can be more prone to being included in the out of school youth.

Being an out of school youth is not the last part of the situation. Furthermore, it is just a phase in their lives. Many graduates are unemployed, therefore it is more likely that those who didn’t finished schooling will also be unemployed. Nevertheless, we can’t still say that out of school youth have no bright future. In fact, they may be luckier to get a decent job. However, they may encounter hard time because of their lack of experience and training. For instance, they work with those professionals and expect them to do more than their capabilities. They can easily be fired if the employer thinks that the employees are incapable.

Being an out of school youth is not an excuse for not doing well in life, therefore one must really strive hard to surpass some struggles. In addition, hard workers are well compensated in the future as long as they have goodness in their hearts.
