Physics in my life…
In the morning, it is only natural to eat breakfast then take a bath. I wake up, dress up and leave the house to go to school. When I go out and interact with my surroundings, I experience many forces, starting from when the school bell rings.
When I know that I am going to be late for the Flag Ceremony, there is this force that makes my feet rush into the line formation. It is so good at exerting force on my feet to walk fast that I get to feel warm and sweaty. This force acting perpendicularly on my feet’s area is pressure. Because of that, I catch up and don’t get late.
Then when classes begin, other forces appear. Like when changes happen. It is hard to hold on especially when the only support I get is from a thin string which has a very low elasticity level. It is mostly difficult to resist change when I have no support from others. I am tensed in these situations. This is most evident when I am left hanging in the air with much less support or none at all. Like when we have to speak in front by ourselves as part of our monologue task.
Then, there are times in the class when the teachers tend to give us many requirements from different subjects. They give me heavy loads which push me to reach my elastic limit. I get deformed temporarily by having headaches which comes off when I sleep again. Also, I get deformed permanently with the eye bags that I get. That’s when too mush stress is put on me. On the bigger perspective, when I lose my temper, I get mad but only in a short time. I go back to being happy again. But when things get too much, I get to become less elastic, reach my ultimate strength and break apart. That is when I can’t handle the situation anymore which happens really seldom for now.
Also, I can’t possibly escape compression since I have a handful of friends. They have different views of life and sometimes I get squeezed in the middle. I am compressed in a very uncomfortable way. I am also compressed when I feel nervous. This happens most significantly when we are tasked to perform in front of the class. In these cases, all I want to do is get inside my self and shrink because of compression.
In life, there are always people who act as the friction force. They always oppose no matter what. They are always there to stop me from doing my plans. Sometimes, these people are good for they stop me from pursuing on doing something bad. Then there are times when they become hindrances to putting my well-organized plan into action.
Of course, every person has one central force. And my one and only central force is God. With his guide, I continue to move according to his will. He is my source of strength and light. Without him, I’ll get lose and will be redirected to another direction that would probably lead me to bad things.
And I’m sure that there are other forces out there that I have yet to encounter. I think that whatever force acts on me, I am sure to take good charge on them because I know that God will guide me as my central force.
