REFLECTION

After our midterm examination in NSTP, we were assigned by our professor to

make a project proposal which we had to implement. One day there were
groupings but I was absent so I didn't know which group I was in. Fortunately,
Analy told me that she was in my group and that we were assigned an area in
Lagadlarin Mangrove Forest. First, of course, I was happy because my friends
were going to work with me on the project and I was also excited because it was
my first time to go to the Mangrove. In making our project proposal, we first had
to visit the area assigned to us so that we could know what project we would do
there or what their needs were there. After we got to Mangrove, we immediately
told this to our leader and there was an argument because we didn't take pictures
while we were conducting an interview with the president of Mangrove, the
pictures we sent in the group chat were pictures of us at the beach, there with the
bridge and picture with the hut. After we made our project proposal, we
immediately checked it and when it was approved, our professor told us that we
need to implement it. So every Friday at NSTP (1pm - 4pm) we go to Lagadlarin
Mangrove Forest to implement the content of our project proposal. I remember
that I was always excited to go to our area but I always arrived late because it
was so hot. It's fun to go there, especially when your partner is your friend. As
time goes on, going to Mangrove hurts the pocket. To be honest, it's the size of
what we spent on our project proposal for the fare. Just come back. That's it, and
then there was the donation of trash cans and garden tools that we donated. It's
a pain in the pocket but it's worth it because we helped the people there in
Lagadlarin Mangrove Forest. We did a lot of activities there such as cleaning up
our planting, making a trash can, attaching inspiring quotes, cleaning the
waterfront and many others. In the implementation of our project proposal, our
classmates became closer and we got to know each other better and the yelling,
misunderstandings and conflicts while we were in Mangrove will not disappear.
When we parted, everything was fine. Those who greeted each other like that.
And our journey in traveling is tiring but it's fun. We look for a tricycle with a ride
on the back so that no one is left behind but sometimes when we go on a walking
trip, we walk until the town then to the town We will ride to Masaguisit for less
fare. I still remember that one time we were walking and then someone called us
and asked us if we were from Mangrove, but we said "yes" because we didn't fit
on the tricycle, so they just turned us back and then left. On the tricycle, the son
of the tricycle driver called us and gave us snacks. I said to Melody, I'll be back. I
am very grateful because I had this experience with my friends and classmates.
We learned so much in the execution of our project proposal.
