Tricia with her rather timid smile, Ain't she the right person to write about smile???

 

 

Every alumni and student  of

Pines City National High School remember most of the corridors of the school, not only because the corridors lead us to our classrooms where we learn, gain knowledge and wisdom, but also  because these corridors serve as aisles for communication and interaction... Spots where we greet everyone we meet with a sweet smile on our faces.

 Smile is contagious. This, I am sure can be affirmed by everybody.

As one can not help to smile back when being smiled at.

 A smile can be likened to a virus which would quickly spread once released.

A smile lightens one's load.

It can brighten one's day.

It can  make a lover's heart leap with joy.

It gives encouragement.

It gives affirmation.

 

It can mean so much!!!

 Because a smile carries with it the magic of real connection.

 

Researches would say smile helps release dopamine, a happy hormone that gives a happy feeling. Undisputedly, smiling does not only benefit an individual. It can also benefit our community, our society - since smile is a powerful tool for forming human relations.

But why am I writing about smile?

 

Once, I was in a conversation with our former student-teacher.  I asked her what she loves most at Pines City National High School. She told me that it was the smiles and the greetings of the students every time they meet their teachers and fellow students. I am very astonished by her answer. I have never imagined that a simple smile could have a very remarkable effect on somebody else's heart. 

 

We do not know everybody at school but our smiles, which we freely give, would create ripples of joy to the people we meet.   The school is just a microcosm of the bigger community. Just imagine if everybody would smile at one another, the effect would be tremendous. And I am sure, this world shall be a happy place to live in.

The world is full of beautiful things. God gave life for us to enjoy and appreciate these things, more importantly, God's gift of SMILE.

 

So step out and smile. Share your gift to everybody and let your smile change darkness to light, change hate to love and change war to peace. SMILE^^
