26. Core Value: (Integrity of Creation)
There are a lot of irregular nouns which are not originally
English. Some come from Latin and Greek words. These words
were incorporated in the English language because they were
commonly used. Boondock is one of the words that was recently
included on the English language. It comes from the Filipino
word bundok, an out-of-the-way area considered backward and
unsophisticated by city-folk.
We often forget about the people who live in the
boondocks, our farmers, who are really true examples for love of
work. What work in the farm do you know? What house chores do
you usually do? How can we show love of our family/household
helpers at home especially now that you are home-schooled?
