What does it take to be an ICT student?

Information Communication Technology or what we call ICT is taught for students so that they’d  be able to know the hardware and software parts of the computer and through this learning, they’d be possibly capable enough to use their skills in the future in terms of technology.

To be an ICT student recquires the skills of being competent to face challenges on taking new lessons and to be a discoverer on new things without the guide of someone else.  You have to be curious on its’ software parts so you can be able to know how to manage things regarding that unit step by step.  It’s not about how good you are, as long as you’ll know the main purpose of learning and that would be the first step of thinking to have the inspiration and to obtain an idea to start accelerating to learn for your own sake.

Has to have the skills and prove that you deserve to be on the same class as anyone would.

My Dream, My Future

Problems in life has to be overpassed so that we can move on to the next and it will serve as a lesson in  handling situations, especially on making desicions.

Ever since, it’s always been my dream to become an accountant with an honest purpose to have a high salary to help on the income of my family.  I came neither from a rich nor poor class of a family but when talking about money the salary of my father is not enough to sustain our monthly  needs but through the help of my eldest brother, we still manage to live every single day.  For my own, I’m not satisfied with life. I want anything more not because of my personal interest but I want my family to experience how great life is if you’re in a higher class.  And I will not  reach that goal without hardwork, so I’m trying to be the best as I can in school even without earning any awards as long as I am having grades that I deserve which is qualified to what course in college I chose.

It is my dream so I will do anything even though some discourages me, I have my family as an inspiration.

CHANGE: It starts with me

 “Changes start in ourselves.”

                I’ve been on Earth for 15 years and yet, nothing in the world has changed.   Government officials are still the same, anomalies that they cannot remove are still there instead it is passed on to generations and it is only technology where the world has changed a lot.   And the rising problem among people is discipline, how would they change if laws are abided and can’t even follow a single bit of a rule?   So as it is, we can’t see progress.  As a local citizen of the Philippines, I want to show everyone the real meaning of life, I mean presenting them examples of progression through showing them changes that starts from me.  It is hard but by encouraging them to follow as what I would do, nothing would be impossible.  And the first thing to do is showing disciplinary actions where anyone can see me and can follow me because they’d know the right thing to do  Without forcing everyone,  they’d be encouraged instead because they are seeing indifferent characteristic which a person should have.  And in the end, true leadership is born and cooperation among others will rise,

                If you see the world as precious as life, learn to change and be the starting point.

Reflection

          Third quarter was full of surprises. making drafts none stop. But it was fun because even though there are some part of it that has a wrong grammar, i still had to post it because i was rushing. But actually, ICT  is now one of my favorite subjects because we didn't do a lot this grading period. it was all about tags and making web design and enjoying on typing my drafts. And with making web design was discovering things in the internet. curiosity made it happen.

"Keeping in Mind Our Mother Tongue"

          We may arrive to different places with different languages but the dialect I'v been used to since our childhood years will be kept it forever.

          Being once a child , we were trained to speak with our local dialects through in help of our beloved parents/ guardian. It became our first language before we entered school. And as we grow old, more and more languages is taught for us to communicate well to others. But w still manage to keep our main dialect because we believed that we wouldn't be professionals if we never had it. It made us go to the top. And so we must consider its importance whether we reached our dreams or not. It had a great advantage specially on dealing with other people. We have to keep it in mind wherever we go.    

New Year, New Me!

          We kept on promising to do things every time a year would end and tend to be active just to fulfill it. But do we really give an effort to do t? Or is it just meant to be broken?

          It's been my tradition to have my yearly resolutions but somehow, it is easy for me to forget them because I can't resist to focus on other things. But this year, I didn't prepare anything because I just want to be happy and enjoy my life being with my family, relatives and friends. I don't want to waste my time because someday somehow, unintentionally, I would suddenly change. Let it be God's will and just go with it. I want to feel free but I will know all my limitations.

          They say "New Year, New Me", but all I can say is that just stay who we are right now and let everybody accept the real you. But as early as now, we have to realize or know all the things that we have to change what others feel different about you.
