No Pain, No Gain

          Before, when I was a freshman, I have thought of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) as a boring subject because I thought that we will only sit and stare at our computer screens and learn nothing other than repeating the same lessons over and over again. I thought that ICT is a subject that only focuses on facts about computers but when I was able to encounter the subject personally, a sudden thought hit me: I had the wrong impression. I have come to the realization that it is an enjoyable and fun subject and I suddenly started to like ICT.
          It's my fourth and final year in high school and not to mention, my final year to be able to take up ICT as a subject. Times sure flies by so fast. It was only as if yesterday when the first day of classes this school year has started but the next thing I knew is that we will be having our Periodical Exams for the First Grading next week.
         Going back to our lessons in ICT in the last two months, I can say that I have learned a lot in that short period of time. I learned about various people who are behind the success of the internet. The internet from which  I was taking pleasure of using. The internet which helps me in my studies and which serves as a bridge for me to be able to talk to my mother from afar. Because of this, I am grateful that I have met these people, although not personally, but at least I got to know how great they were to have been able to come up with an idea that surely changed the world.
         I also got to improve my writing skills through posting in my blog. I got to live up my passion which is writing. I also got to share my ideas, thoughts, opinions and emotions through blogging. In short, I have learned to open-up some more to other people. Also, I have learned to develop my patience when the internet connection gets slow and I need to wait for how many minutes before I will be able to start working.
          But as they say: "No pain, no gain." You have to encounter challenges before you learn something. I faced some problems in meeting the deadlines for our compositions to be posted in the blog along with meeting also the deadlines of our requirements in other subjects. I'd have to also rack my brain to think of the things that I want to say in my composition so as to make it the best that it could be.
         When I noticed that these problems may still be solved, I thought of ways for me to be able to overcome them. I set a schedule in doing the requirements for each of my subjects so that I will be able to meet the deadline without much difficulty. I managed my time and I never encountered problems of the likes again.
         Moving on, I will continue to follow my schedule and manage my time. I will also strive harder in making my compositions/essays better for the readers to see. I will also improve my writing skills more because I know that I will be needing it in the future.
