More Roles & Routines

The Rules of Roles
by The Anything Teen, 14 yrs. old


In any school you attend you are given a role to play. It is like being given a part to portray in a theatre presentation. Like in school, you need to be a good student in order to play your role properly. But what is a god student?

A good student is someone who submits requirements on time, participates in class discussions and someone who is a good friend to his classmates. But your role in school is limited only in school. You must look at a bigger thing, like family.

In school when you make mistakes or when you fail to submit your requirements you get a deduction of points in your final grade. In this case its not that hard to make up for the things you missed out on. But, in the family when you make a mistake on your assigned task, your trustworthiness is affected. Your role in the family is not limited to this. You need to be a good son and a good grandson towards your parent and grandparents. But you also have a role to play for yourself. You can do this by doing things that you like to do.

In my case I like playing guitar during my free time. During weekends I play sports such as basketball, badminton and sometimes golf.

As you can see I am not that amazing or remarkable. I am a student trying to become a better person everyday. I am a son trying to love my parents more and more. I am a person living out my roles in life.

An Ordinary Boy With Roles
by Wonder Boy, 13 yrs. old

Last school year, I was in grade 7. As a grade 7 student I did my assignments, projects and studied for my exams. I was part of the Eucharistic Crusaders Club. In class, I was the guy who talked a lot. Sometimes I could be lazy. In general, I was a student who did well in school. I didn't fail. I, however, studied and did my homework.

As an ordinary boy, I always play video games and use the computer. As a younger brother I always annoy my brother because he chases me all the time. Then punches me (which is fun, actually). During the weekends I visit my grandparents. For sports I play basketball every Saturday and Sunday. I also like eating because we always have good food.

I am like any other kid who annoys his brother and plays video games. If you put everything together I am just an ordinary boy with roles to do.
