Shine's POV

"I am Shine Liel Shon, 17 years of age. I hope we can be friends." Nakangiting pag papakilala ko sa klase, hindi sila ngumingiti sa akin at pero hindi rin naman sila galit.

Binalewala ko nalang yon at umupo na sa tinuro ni Miss, nginitian naman ako ng babaeng katabi ko kaya nginitian ko siya ng labas ngipin.

"Hi." Nanatili naman akong nakatingin sakaniya, She's a cute girl. Siya pa lang ang kumakausap sa akin dito simula kanina, bukod kay Miss.

"Hello." Pag bati ko, hindi na siya nag salita pa dahil nag salita na si Miss na adviser namin.

This is my first day in this university called University Of Houston in short UOH, malaki at maganda ang unang describe ko sa university na ito. Second quarter na ngayon, at ngayon lang ako lumipat -,-

"I-Im happy to have a n-new student again, p-please enjoy your s-stay." Uutal utal na sabi ni Miss, tumayo naman ako at yumuko bilang respeto.

"Thankyou, Miss." Pag papasalamat ko at muling umupo, nag palakpakan naman ang mga kaklase ko kaya nginitian ko sila.

I heard this university were very famous and expensive narinig ko rin na mga matatalino ang mga nag aaral dito, but not at all.

Syempre ang mga matatalino lang dito ay ang tinatawag na star seaction.. at ito nga ang room na iyon.

Hindi na ako mag tataka kung yung iba ay hindi pala kaibigan dahil masyadong seryoso sa pag aaral, doon kasi sa dati kong school, puro loko ang mga tao. Lalo na ang mga babae, Andaming bully at nag papabully tsk.

"Okay, our topic for today is all about Happiness. What is happiness? Most of us probably don't believe we need a formal definition of happiness; we know it when we feel it, and we often use the term to describe a range of positive emotions, including joy, pride, contentment, and gratitude.
But to understand the causes and effects of happiness, researchers first need to define it. Many of them use the term interchangeably with "subjective well-being," which they measure by simply asking people to report how satisfied they feel with their own lives and how much positive and negative emotion they're experiencing. In her 2007 book The How of Happiness, positive psychology researcher Sonja Lyubomirsky elaborates, describing happiness as "the experience of joy, contentment, or positive well-being, combined with a sense that one's life is good, meaningful, and worthwhile."
That definition resonates with us here at Greater Good: It captures the fleeting positive emotions that come with happiness, along with a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in life—and suggests how these emotions and sense of meaning reinforce one another." Mahabang pag papaliwanag ni Miss, nakinig naman ako ng mabuti kahit alam ko na ang tungkol diyan.

"what is happiness?" Pag tatanong ni Miss, pumunta siya sa gitna. "Anyone?" Tanong niya muli kaya nag taas ako ng kamay. "Miss Shon?"

Ngumiti naman ako at tumayo. "Many people believe that happiness is having fun at a party, the excitement of new experiences, the thrill and passion of sex, or the delights of a fine meal. These are all wonderful experiences to be cherished and cultivated but they are not happiness. Happiness is when your life fulfills your needs.
In other words, happiness comes when you feel satisfied and fulfilled. Happiness is a feeling of contentment, that life is just as it should be. Perfect happiness, enlightenment, comes when you have all of your needs satisfied.
While the perfect happiness of enlightenment may be hard to achieve, and even harder to maintain, happiness is not an either /or case. There are nearly limitless degrees of happiness between the bliss of enlightenment and the despair of depression. Most of us fall somewhere between, closer to the middle than the edges." Mahaba kong sagot, pinalakpakan naman ako ng mga kakalase ko including Miss.
