Proper Hygiene as the Key to Good Health and a Successful Future

Every student is determined to be successfull. They even sacrifice everthing just to be comfortable in the future. They woke up early morning and leave their homes not knowing what will be the challenges they will face onwards. But regardless of the self-confidence they have, problems are just continuous. They’ll attack you physically and even emotionally.

Most of the health issues that students have undergone mostly relate to the factors affecting health. Mainly these factors greatly affect the academic performance and attitude towards school of the students making them incompetent and unfocused. Lack of knowledge with regards to proper hygiene and poor hygienic practices increases the risks of having illnesses and other communicable diseases.

According to Wikipedia, hygiene is a set of practices performed to preserve health while personal hygiene refers to maintaining the body’s cleanliness. Meanwhile, proper hygiene is defined by the Worlds Health Organization (WHO) as the conditions and practices that help to maintain health and prevent the spread of diseases. With these, proper hygiene is very important and essential to everyone and it reflects positive aspects towards life.

And one important place proper hygiene must take place is inside the the school. When students goes to school, he or she carries all the practices and learnings he or she inherited way back since he or she was an infant. It covers all the factors inside a person even involving emotional and spritual practices. So when we talk about students proper hygiene, the parental aspects and influences greatly affect a student.

“Awareness of personal hygiene should only start in the family. Personal hygiene is about health and everything”, Ms Mirah Mae Arranzado said, science teacher from San Jacinto National High School (SJNHS).

Also according to Mr. Billy Lique, also a teacher from SJNHS, personal hygiene start with the parents. A proper hygiene must start from homes. Because as the child grows they slowly adapt the practices and behaviours of his or her family.

A students grows in a home with good parental teaching especially with regards to personal hygiene often becomes a great person and great learner. Clean and proper students tends to be more focused, confident and determined. They move accordingly and become competitive. They even interact without hesitations and lear without worries.

“As a student you need to be aware of personal hygiene. That affects a student's personality and attitude and his or her class”, Mrs. Angelica Lanuza said, a teacher from SJNHS.

“As a student, proper hygiene is really important because you can focus on your class and you are confident to talk because you are no longer being treated as an irog sani and sani”, said by Orlando Estoril , a student from SJNHS.

“Because you are a student, you have to be clean, because if you are not clean without friends, you will be bullied and you will not be able to take care of your schooling”, Aila Marie Alcala, also a student from SJNHS.

But not all students carries a good attitude towards proper hygiene. These students often raised in a household were proper hygiene is not prioritized and simply they just want to find to live. They often lack financially that often becomes the reason for more serious health problems.

“Some families can't practice proper hygiene because sometimes they don't have the budget, sometimes they can't afford to use for example shampoo and soap”, Ms. Arranzado added.

Students with poor personal hygiene come to school wearily and unaware. They are unaware of theirselves and unaware of the surroundings . They often become the bullied ones, the ones been judged and criticized. These students can’t merely focus and become unconfident toward interacting with the teachers and fellow students. They don’t have the guts to share their perceptions and ideas and eventually stays at the corner being shy.

“Once you're really uncomfortable with your body you can't focus, you're comfortable and you're treated like a lot”, Wenalyn Escorel, student from SJNHS, added.

Nevertheless, it can be prevented. The solution must take place first from the hands of the parents. The parents have the greatest influence on a childs attitude and behaviour towards a certain thing or particular situation. They must influence their children to become a health enthusiasts and eventually become a healthy individual. It can start from simple washing of hands, bathing regulary or simply by brushing their teeth. This simple things becomes the bridge to a more and exclusive way of thingking towards proper hygiene.

“Parents must be educated first and foremost of being clean to themselves and to their surroundings because when we are nano at school it only reflects on when our home is nano. By simply teaching children to wash their hands, many diseases can be prevented”, added by Mr. Lique.

“I try to discipline my child when he or she is young because it is beautiful to be clean in the body and in the environment. A little cleanliness will help my child get sick and go to school”, Mrs. Riza Garamay, a parent, said.

Indeed, good health is the key to a harmonous and successful future alongside with proper education and good behaviour. All the things we act out in the real world must be filtered out inside our homes. From the way we talk to the way we behaves our home is reflected. Our homes are the pillars of our success and eventually it becomes ourselves.
