The FINALE

Image
I t’s time to reflect again. We’re about to end the school year with this reflection post. I think I have made my greatest for this school year. I gained lots of learning during this whole school year. Finally, I have passed the 4 quarters! In this last quarter of ICT 10, I’ve earned knowledge about the Microsoft Frontpage. I’ve learned how to create web pages, insert hyperlinks, add audios and more. From the 1st quarter up until now, we are still making blogs that help us to sharpen our brain’s performance and to improve our communication and writing skills. When learning, we can’t avoid encountering problems or challenges. I admit that I struggled at managing my time. I was challenged a lot of time especially when a lot of school requirements are piled up. Throughout this school year, I have been able to address these challenges or problems. I always remind to myself that I can do it. I always reflect everything and I really tried my best to change my wrongdoings into bette...

M other’s love for her child certainly cannot be compared with anything. Her level of forgiveness is unmatchable. A mother is capable of forgiving of any wrongdoing. A mother is certainly the most important human being in everyone’s life. A special day is celebrated every year to show honor, love, respect and admiration towards all the mothers all over the world. This celebration is called “Mother’s Day”. I owe my fifteen years of my life to my mother. She is my best and truest friend, my companion, my ally, my first love and my world. She has always been there for me, cheering me up, supporting my decisions in life and guiding me throughout my journey. Even if she’s miles away from me, still, she didn’t miss showing her love and support for me. She always calls me through messenger. I’m very thankful to my mother. I think celebrating “Mother’s Day” should be a must because we received a lot of love and support from them. They are more than deserve to have this special day. Mot...

Fight and Survive Cycle

The 3rd quarter has come to an end. This quarter was stressful and tough for me. My motivations are slowly fading and I often do procrastination. But despite of that tiredness I feel, I still fight and do all my greatest to survive. Well, I can say that I’m a strong person. I won’t give up that easy. For this quarter, we have learnt about Community-based research in which we are able to create our own research study. In the previous weeks of 3rd quarter, we were asked to list various things about our community like our culture, languages, literatures, tourist spots and delicacies. Honestly, I found it hard because I don’t know that much about my community. These lessons help me become more engage on my community. It enables us to showcase the things that our community can offer. I was able to share my insights about a certain topic through by my blog posts. Furthermore, learning how to make sitemaps is quite interesting. I was frustrated at first because I don’t know how to make...
