ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

A successful research study reflects the people who worked on it, which are

successful people. It is not easy to maintain teamwork; it even takes a lot of time to build

it. Teamwork is built by hard work, cooperation and great understanding that should root

from the members. They get strength from people around them, they get the

determination to continue a work they’ve started, to finish the work that gave them

stressful and sleepless nights. They couldn’t have done this without those people who

encouraged them to continue and finish what they have started. They would like to

extend their warmest gratitude to:

Their parents, who financially supported their term paper and stayed up all night

to accompany them,

Their section adviser, Ms. Rowena Piñol, who from time to time encouraged

them and once gave them time to finish their research when no one gave them the chance

to,

Their Research In Daily Life II teacher, Ms. Rachelle Dacuycuy, who never got

tired of answering their never-ending questions, making their hard topics easier and

guiding them even when she’s so busy,

And above all, Our Almighty Father, who guided them along the way.
