My Reflection Paper in History4: FEEDBACK Part I

I got my paper back today! I didn't got perfect score (9/10) but it's not worth getting sad for. I'll answer my professor's comments and suggestions here! :D



Whale Rider

My professor liked the symbolism I used at the start of my reflection paper.

"Whale represents the struggles of being a leader, and the ocean represents the state. There are several whales who went off the coast, and that merely means that these struggles seek answers from a capable leader. These are problems that are meant to be given solutions."

She encircled Elizabeth I of England . I put Marie Antoinette of France on my paper as well, but the first one had been recognized. Well, it's not doubtful that Elizabeth I was indeed a great leader even being a woman. Honestly, my Rizal subject was the one that gave me the idea about Elizabeth I, then thanks to my former professor for instilling that in my mind.


I was asked, "Do you think former President Arroyo is a good diplomat?"
Frankly speaking, as far as my ignorance about these issues is concerned (hey! I'm trying my best to work on this!), the former President is a good diplomat. A diplomat as they say, works on the relations of the country to other states for the good of the motherland. We all know the fact that Mrs. Arroyo had visited different states, different conventions, and different summits. We can hardly hear the effects (nor feel it), but it's actually doing a favor upon us Filipinos. One instance I can remember was the pardon given by the king of KSA to a Filipino convicted for a murder. It was President Arroyo who had taken the action for that. There are lot of proofs that she was indeed a good diplomat, and a good leader I may say (disregarding the issues thrown upon her though. LOL)
