Make The Most Out Of It

          This grading has been, by far, a very busy one. I was seldom present in my classes. I was out of the classroom most of the time because of extra-curricular activities that I barely had the time to cope with our lessons.
          That's why in the few times that I was present in my classes, I always make sure to pay attention and participate in discussions actively. This second grading has been a tough one but despite the busy schedule, I have learned a lot. You can't gain anything from nothing right?
          First and foremost, I have learned to make every second count. Time is important, right? So, I valued my time a lot to make up for the times that I was out in my classes.
          Second, I realized that rushing my projects doesn't really help in making the project better. We only worked on our project in ICT a day before the deadline so we practically just rushed it without even thinking about what would it end up to be. The outcome was good but if we only worked on it earlier, I know that it will have been the best that it could be. So, next time, I will be making my projects with sufficient time for me to make some improvements.
          Third, I have learned to navigate my search engine better. I have also learned about HTML documents and HTML tags. I also learned how to make and improve the appearance of an HTML file. I gained more knowledge about the different kinds of tags. I also got to use my Notepad now that I know how to use it and now that I know its importance.
           As I have said earlier, you can't gain anything from nothing. There would still be impediments as we go on our journey. My problem this grading period is how to cope with my lessons since I'm mostly out of my classes. It's hard to keep up with the lessons especially if there are quizzes that I have missed during my absence.
           So, when the contest that we've been practicing for was already finished, my schedule at my classes is now back to normal. In order for me to understand the lessons, I have asked the help of some of my classmates. I asked them to teach me the lessons that I have missed and I also borrowed their notes. I also took up special quizzes for the ones that I haven't taken up.
          Until now, I'm still coping with my lessons and making up for the lost time. Moving on, I will do my best this coming third grading so that my grades will improve because I have a feeling that my grades will become lower this second grading. I have to make the most out of all my subjects.

Global Competence

         Imagine a world which has different countries and diverse languages and then, there's no medium for us to be able to understand each other. Will there be unity? Will we be able to promote friendship among our countries? Will there be OFWs to work for their families?
         The existence of our universal language, English, is very much important to all of us. English language is used in business, science, mathematics, communication, economics... the list can go on and on. Pretty much everything that is connected to our lives involves the use of English.
          There is no denying the fact that many Filipinos are aspiring to go to other countries to "seek for greener pasture." This situation now comes the role of English to our lives. One of the requirements for us to accomplish if we want to go abroad is that we should at least learn how to speak in English.
