course. Since this country as founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to
give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans into answered the call to
service surround the globe.
Now the trumpet summons us again-not as a call to bear arms, though, arms we need, not as a
call to battle, though embattled we are; but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle,
year in and year out, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, a, struggle against the common
enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.
Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and
West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join me in this historic effort?
In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending
freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility; I welcome it I
do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other
generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our
country and all who serve it, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.
And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for
your country.
My Fellow citizens of the world ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can
do for the freedom of man.

Isa sa mga salitang napag-aralan natin sa wikang Pilipino ay ang salitang NABANSOT.
Kapang ang isang bagay daw ay dapat pang lumaki ngunit ito'y tumigil na sa paglaki, ang bagay
na ito raw ay NABANSOT. Marami raw uri ng pagkabansot ngunit ay pinakamalungkot na uri raw
ay ang pagkabansot ng isipan, ng puso at ng diwa.
Ang panahon ng kabataan ay panahon ng paglaki, ngunit ang ating paglaki ay kailangang
paglaki, at pag-unlad ng ating buong katauhan, hindi lamang ng ating sukat at timbang. Kung

mapagkatiwalaan-anong laking kakulangan. Kung magkakatawan tayong katawangTarzanat

kahihiyan. Ang panahon ng pagkilos ay ngayon, hindi bukas, hindi sa isang taon. Araw-araw ay
tumutuwid tayong palangit or bumabaluktod tayong paputik. Tamang-tama ang sabi ng ating
mga ninunong kung ano raw ang kinamihasnan ay siyang pagkakatandaan. Huwag nating
akalaing makapagpapabaya tayo ng ating pag-aaral ngayon at sa araw ng bukas ay bigla tayong
magiging mga dalubhasang magpapaunlad sa bayan. Huwag nating akalaing makapaglulublob
tayo ngayon sa kalaswaaan at kahalayan at sa mahiwagang araw ng bukas sigla tayong
magiging ulirang mga magulang.
Kabataan, tunay na pag-ibig sa bayan, ang tunay na nasyonalismo, ay wala sa tamis ng

Success often comes to those with humble beginnings, Elvis Aron Presley was born on January 8,
1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi. He first sang in a church choir and taught himself to play the guitar,
but he never learned to read music. By 1953, he had moved to Memphis, Tennessee, graduated
from high school, and enrolled in night school to become an electrician. That year, at Sun

Right, Mama,was out in 1954.

sangrock n' rollmusic. During the live television performance, Presley was photographed only
from the waist up because his motions were considered obscene.

contract. The movie critics were not always kind, but teenagers flocked to Presley's films. Within
a few short years, Presley had established a career that would span twenty-five years of ups and
downs and make him one of the most popular entertainers in history. Long after his untimely
death at age 42, Presley would be remembered asThe King of Rock n' Roll

Pagsanghan.
Isa sa mga salitang napag-aralan natin sa wikang Pilipino ay ang salitang NABANSOT.
Kapang ang isang bagay daw ay dapat pang lumaki ngunit ito'y tumigil na sa paglaki, ang bagay
na ito raw ay NABANSOT. Marami raw uri ng pagkabansot ngunit ay pinakamalungkot na uri raw
ay ang pagkabansot ng isipan, ng puso at ng diwa.
Ang panahon ng kabataan ay panahon ng paglaki, ngunit ang ating paglaki ay kailangang
paglaki, at pag-unlad ng ating buong katauhan, hindi lamang ng ating sukat at timbang. Kung
ga-poste man ang ating taas at ga-pison man ang ating bigat ngunit kung ang pag-iisip naman
nati'y ga-kulisap lamang kay pangit na kabansutan. Kung tumangkad man tayong tangkad-
kawayan at bumilog man tayong bilog-tapayan, ngunit kung tayo nama'y tulad nibondyingay di
mapagkatiwalaan-anong laking kakulangan. Kung magkakatawan tayong katawangTarzanat
mapatalas ang ating isipang sintalas ng kay Rizal, ngunit kung ang ating kalooban nama'y itim
na duwende ng kasamaan-anong kapinsalaan para sa kinabukasan.
Kinabukasan, kabataan, tayo raw ang pag-asa ng Inang Bayan. Tayo raw ang maghahatid sa
kanya sa langit ng kasaganaan at karangalan o hihils sa kanya sa putik ng kahirapan at
kahihiyan. Ang panahon ng pagkilos ay ngayon, hindi bukas, hindi sa isang taon. Araw-araw ay
tumutuwid tayong palangit or bumabaluktod tayong paputik. Tamang-tama ang sabi ng ating
mga ninunong kung ano raw ang kinamihasnan ay siyang pagkakatandaan. Huwag nating
akalaing makapagpapabaya tayo ng ating pag-aaral ngayon at sa araw ng bukas ay bigla tayong
magiging mga dalubhasang magpapaunlad sa bayan. Huwag nating akalaing makapaglulublob
tayo ngayon sa kalaswaaan at kahalayan at sa mahiwagang araw ng bukas sigla tayong
magiging ulirang mga magulang.
Kabataan, tunay na pag-ibig sa bayan, ang tunay na nasyonalismo, ay wala sa tamis ng
pangarap wala rin sa pagpag ng dila. Ang tunay na pag-ibig ay nasa pawis ng gawa.
