Today we joined the Metro Bank Mathematics Challenge held at Mati Comprehensive High School at Mati City. We've got to ride a bus and it took 30-40 minutes to go there. The bus is an air-conditioned that made my much dizzy. I hate air-conditioned transfortation but that is the first bus that we've met at 7-30 am so we have no choice because we will be late. Along the road, I am very dizzy in the sense that there are 40 above curved road: Left and Right.

In the Mati Comprehensive High School, there are many contestants came. The contestant are the winners of the elimination round held last month in our school and I am one of them. Two representatives of each year level. The Mati Comprehensive High School prepared a welcome ceremony for the participants. The ceremony is started by the Prayer. Next is the singing of the National Anthem "Lupang Hinirang". Then the opening remarks of the Head of their school and Lastly the "Rules of the Competition" introduced by the Mathematics Head of Davao Oriental.

The first year and second year level is the first two to compete. After them, next are the third and forth year level. After the oral quiz, we did not reach our ambition to be a winner but it is okay. There is always a winner and a loser. The champion is the one that we expected. I congratulated him: one of the champion because there are two contestants each year. We went back in our community with the memories and experience that we've got from that competition. Thanks God, He had given us protection and guidance that day.
