Behold for this!

"The Earth has music for those who listen" -William Shakespeare



      Ever since I was young I always heard the oldies talking about William Shakespeare and his works. I always asked myself who is that William Shakespeare? Why is he so popular? What are his works? I have no idea about him that time. But as I grew up I learned some information about him. But now, since we studied his biography and his works I idolized him and salutes him for his master pieces. He is such a great man with a great mind. 

   It was Sunday after and I was reading Romeo and Juliet that time until suddenly I heard two voices uttering the same lines from the piece. They appeared right in front of me I was so shocked, they are still uttering some lines from the piece. I was about to shout but not an even little sound go out of my mouth. When they had finished their lines. They focused of me, I want to run but it's like my body was being frozen. They held my hands and said "Come with us, we'll take you to our master" I closed my eyes and just go with the flow though I was nervous I risked everything for a reason that I am hoping for. 

   When I opened my eyes I was like travelling back in time, the pictures were passing by quickly. Then suddenly I had a hard fall in a room. It seems like an ancient study room in the middle of it their sit a man that keeps on writing. As I go nearer to him I realized that it was William Shakespeare I was so fascinated with what I saw, its like my jaw wants to drop. When I was almost in front of him he looked at me and smiled. I don't know what to do I was just so speechless to see such a great man like him. 

   He asked me to sit next to him and tell him stories. I do as what he asked we had a long time talking about me, about him, about his works and many more. We even didn't realize the time. Then a merchant knocked on the door then William Shakespeare told me to go with him because he will tour me to Venice. After our tour we got back to his study room and he showed me some of his works, he even let me watched him while doing his new piece. The last activity was when William Shakespeare and I made a poem about our meeting. It was such a great time. And I was very happy. 

   Romeo and Juliet were now back to the room. William Shakespeare also bid goodbye to me. I left the poem that we made with him. Then the two held my hands again and I close my eyes.  When I opened my eyes I was back to my room and there is a piece of paper inside the book that I was reading. It is written on the paper that "Nice to meet you. -William Shakespeare" then I noticed something from my pocket it was a pendant and the poem that we made.


WARNING: ERROR OCCURRED!

         In life we always commit mistakes and feel sorry for it. Committing mistakes is usual to a person, in fact we learn from our errors. But always remember that one bad deed is equivalent to a greater consequence.



    It was early Monday morning when I was walking in the mid's of nowhere. The place looks familiar but I can't remember it. I continued walking until I saw a gate  and entered it. During my first few steps from the gate I can see something tall which I cannot figure it out and a man is standing that seems waiting for me. As I got closer it was a hill with seven terraces and the man standing was Percy Jackson. Percy said that he will be my guide through out the journey. As we go on the first terrace there is another gate with an inscription of "BEWARE THOU SHALL PERISH SOON"

   We got to the first terrace, the terrace for the late comers. There I saw students who were always late, they were in a straight line formation with the student police in front of them doing their duty. The late comers were asked by the SP of the reason why they are late and they are disciplined by making them squat and run a hundred of times. They were running until they figure out their mistake and be sure to not do it again. I had a hard time looking to them, I feel pity for them. But then we have to go on.

   Moving on to the second terrace, Percy gave me a signal to step back and I do so. The second terrace was the place for the violators. The ones who were not in the proper uniform and the ones who isn't in the proper haircut. It was managed by Ma'am Myra, the students here were being disciplined also. The ones who were not in proper uniform were being chased by alive scissors and every time they are folding their sleeves or having any uniform violation they are being attacked by scissors. The ones who wasn't in proper haircut were chased by blades and a hair grows it was being shaved. It was really shocking to see those scenes, but I have to.

   On the third terrace, it was an ear dropping one, Percy gave me ear plugs and I put them on. Though I have ear plugs this doesn't make me invulnerable of the noise it just helped in minimizing it. I can see students that keep on talking and talking and talking of non-sense things and every time they were noticed a horn were being blown near their ears. Another one were the "tagalog speakers" they are always speaking in tagalog so they are being disciplined by writing poems, essays, short stories and other form of literature, a hundred times for every word. The one guarding this terrace was Ma'am Lenny.

    It was a fascinating scene but we moved on to the fourth terrace, the terrace for the irresponsible. Mainly this one is for the late passers of projects and the tardy ones. On this terrace I saw Ma'am Pareja guiding them. For the late passers they are being disciplined by quickly making something out of nothing. And for the tardy ones they have to do their work quick and they should do it many times depending on their level of tardiness.

     On the fifth terrace, I saw Ma'am Malou guarding them. It was the terrace for the cheaters. They were sitting on the chair with tons and tons of books in front of them they have to read every word in the book and memorize them, if they didn't do so 5 more books will be added on their loads.

    What a tough terrace was that, we continued walking and reached to the sixth terrace. Percy told me that I should not go far from him in this terrace so I do as what he asked I stay closed to him. It was so quiet but then suddenly a ball was about to hit my face, good thing Percy was able to catch it. This terrace was for the bullies I saw Sir Tom managing the students in this terrace. They were being disciplined according to the way they bullied others. For the physical bullies they were carrying a heavy mass and walking around the terrace, for the verbal bullies their mouth were being taped.

   Percy and I got to the last terrace, the terrace for the lazy ones. From this terrace as I look down I can see all the other six terraces. On this terrace it was being managed by Ma'am Arlyn. The lazy ones received the hardest disciplinary action of all. They were to do every disciplinary action from the first to the sixth terrace a hundred of times. My heart shrink in this view.

    From the last terrace Percy said goodbye to me and I was left alone realizing what I've seen. I keep on walking and walking until I saw the exit. It was already 12 midnight of Saturday morning when I got out from that place.

   Our errors were our portal to discovery. Doing error once isn't bad but doing it twice it is a different one and always remember that for every action their is an opposite reaction.
