Protecting Our Planet: The Key to a Sustainable Future

   As a student, I can help our environment by starting small — picking up trash might seem like a small act but if we do it altogether, we can make a BIG impact. Yes! You read it right! We can help the Earth BIGTIME with just our 'small' acts of kindness and courage. Have you ever imagined living in a community wherein when you go for a walk outside, all you will see is the beautiful view and not a single trash getting blown away by the wind? How refreshing that is, right? So, if you still want to witness our environment in a better state than it is right now, then why not join me and help the environment together? Come on and let's do 'small' acts of kindess altogether!

As a student, I participate in school activities that emphasizes cleanliness. Participating in cleanliness as a student is essential for several reasons. One is it promotes health by reducing illness and creating a more hygienic environment. And, a tidy space also enhances focus and productivity, making it easier to study.

This picture was during our Campus Clean-Up Drive that was conducted by the SSLG. By participating in Clean-Up Drives, we can maintain a clean and peaceful environment, be it inside the school premises, coastal or anywhere.

I am also a part of the MAPEH Club where we're having our weekly Campus Clean-Up Drive every friday. By doing this, our club contributes cleanliness in our campus that helps create a better environment not only to us but to the whole school.

In this photo, we are planting seeds. We are actually tasked to do this but we took it as an opportunity to help the environment and planted more seeds than we were asked to. See? This very small act can make a big help to the betterment of our planet.

This was during the International Coastal Clean-Up and Tree Planting Drive that was conducted on September 27, 2024. As a news writer in our online school paper, I was asked to make a cover about this activity and while doing so, I also helped in planting palm trees and picking up garbages. 

    Taking care of our environment is crucial for  securing our future earth. However, we can't avoid facing environmental challenges such as climate change, global warming, pollution and many more. I, as a part of the youth who will still live to see the future generation, have the power to shape the future. We might as well start helping by joining various activities in our community that helps sustain  the environment. Embracing our role on the Earth is not just a responsibility but an investment to our own well-being and for the future generation. Together, we can create a resilient and thriving environment for all.

REFLECTION Q1

Exploring the Internet: A Journey Through History and Blogging

In the first quarter, I have also managed to learn the history of the internet from its inception to the current era where it has become a global village tool for communication. Along these lines, I have been able to learn the contributions as well as the milestones along the way, for instance, the making of the TCP/IP protocols and the coming of the world wide web. This advancement in technology amazes me .also, I was able to Create a blog with the help of Blogger.com, which not only increased my technical expertise but encouraged my creativity in putting my thoughts down in writing in a digital form.

I endured various hurdles, especially with regards to the technical components of blogging and time management. For example, at first, I was unable to easily use the platform and design my blog the way I wanted. I also found it difficult since there were other coursework that I had to do as I was doing that which involved writing a blog, which was quite overwhelming, and I could not give attention to my loads at the same time.

In order to cope with these problems, I reserved certain time periods on weekly basis for the main purpose of practicing how to use Blogger.com. I also contacted several students that also had experience on this and found some help on the internet, which proved useful in solving some issues I had and also gave me some insights on what to include in my blog. As long as a task did not seem too difficult to complete, I was able to keep moving forward and thus, feel good towards my ability to accomplish blogging.

In the future, however, I am positively working towards improving on what I have learned while taking blogging to a higher level. I will also try to include a blog section, where I will keep my readers updated regularly, and I will encourage interaction through posting topics that require persistent discussion. By having a good strategy on the message that I want to recap through the blog, I will be able to manage it properly and will attempt to keep up with developments in the web, while documenting experiences for other people.

Together4Teachers: United in Inspiration, Strengthening Futures

Broadly appreciating the theme of National Teachers Month 2024 ‘Together4Teachers,’ we appreciate the role of teachers in our society. In every education system, there is a teacher who focuses all of his or her attention on bearers of sickness which is potential future generations. Their work is not limited to lessons only as they develop systems within which every pupil is allowed to grow within and without, in the head and the heart. Such impeccable service is worth commendation.

Teachers help such structures to exist in the society. They are responsible for molding future leaders, as well as kind-hearted people. They invite students to think analytically, to use their imaginations, to be vigorous and, above all, to be willing to do battle with the odds to get what they want out of life. Every lesson in the classroom stands as a building block of the minds of the coming veneration through, in their turn, classroom activity, and thus their activity is important for the development of communities and the country.

This is a time to remember all our teachers. However, advocacy in this respect should also be addressed to our teachers – their welfare and professional growth. In “Together4Teachers”, this is where the community understands the value of the contribution and makes sure that members have the tools needed to be effective. Employing such an attitude, empowering the teacher will not only support the teacher but also cement the very pillar that is education. Let us appreciate and respect our teachers as they work hard in bringing the changes that will help us all in the future.
