REFLECTION

 In first quarter, I learned and discovered a lot about ICT. I explored how the internet created and the people who are involved in the creation of it. Also, I learned about blogs, parts of blogs and the process in constructing our own blogs. 

We all know that we always faced challenges in our everyday lives. One of the challenges I often to encounter is lack of time in doing my requirements because of lots of activities that we need to pass in time and quizzes. I also find difficult in creating my blogs and doing it to computer because I not enough familiar in using computer.

To overcome the obstacles | encounter, I've started to manage my time more effectively by creating a schedule, prioritizing tasks, and minimizing distractions. When it comes to blogging and computer skills, i've been watching tutorial videos on YouTube to learn more. We all know that learning new things takes time and effort, but it can definitely help us overcome these challenges.

Moving forward, I will do my requirements on time and stay focused on learning throughout the upcoming quarters. I'II manage my time effectively to avoid procrastination and cramming, ensuring I submit everything on deadline. By doing this, I'll be well on my way to achieving my goals in life.

THE ESSENCE OF ME

In a anticipation and joy, that day when my mother announced the news that she is pregnant, an excitement filled with my father’s heart. As month of October embrace, the girl they dreamt of was welcome into the world. With each breathe I took, I knew the deep within my soul that I was precious gift upon my parents from God. 

I, Carina Myka Agcarao, from Brgy. 9, Vigan City. The youngest and the only girl among my siblings. I am girl who loves doing some calligraphy. Sometimes, I’m not confident about my appearance and I'm doubting myself that I don't do the things that can be hard me to do. I certainly describe myself as a girl that has a lot of dreams in life. A girl who wants nothing but to make her parents proud. A girl that is handy, creative and would do anything to have a peaceful life. The girl right here, has a passion for everything even though she refuses to show her enthusiasm for it. I tend to care about my friends feelings and I understand every movement they make. 

In my future endeavors, I envision a future with purpose and fulfillment. With my determination, I strive to carve my path to my passions with meaningful endeavors. Family holds a special place in my heart, and I aim to prioritize quality time with loved ones, to have a strong bonds and creating lasting memories. By balancing these aspects of my life, I aim to create a fulfilling and prosperous future for myself and those around me. Each step forward is a testament to my commitment to success, happiness, and the realization of my dream.
