A Trip to FUNtastic Math

Well, our latest club meeting turned out to be a field trip of sorts . . . to the other clubs. It's kind of like being a part of that club for that specific meeting, only, you're still a member from your original club . . . It's kind of hard to explain.

Anyway, my partner--Charles Ong--and I were tasked to observe the FUNtastic Math club. I thought it was just going to be another boring Math lecture, but were we in for a big surprise when we found out what they were really talking about.

"Christmas is the season for our love for Christ; we should really make our next club meeting all about that."

That was the first thing I heard as soon as I walked through the door of Grade 7 - Rizal where the meeting was held. The club moderator, Ms. Angelica Bagcal, called the club officers to the front just as she finished uttering those words.

They were talking about their Christmas party for the next meeting.

I guess I was just reminded that sometimes, we think we know it all, but we don't. We go too far with our lives thinking that we're going to run out of time and that we need to hurry. And it's true--our time will run out . . . eventually. But that doesn't mean that we should forget about everything else that we think don't matter.

School, friends, family . . . Those are just some of the things we deem important in our lives. But let's not forget the most important thing of all, and that is our Savior--Jesus Christ.
