Reflection

       During the Fourth Quarter, I have gained valuable knowledge and skills that have helped me grow academically and personally. I have discovered new ways to approach learning, improved my critical thinking, and developed better time management habits. These experiences have made me more confident in handling different subjects and responsibilities.      However, the quarter was not without its challenges. I faced difficulties in managing my workload, meeting deadlines, and overcoming moments of self-doubt. Some subjects were more challenging than others, and at times, I felt overwhelmed. Despite these struggles, I learned that perseverance and seeking help from teachers and peers are essential in overcoming obstacles.      Moving forward, I will apply the lessons I have learned to improve myself further. I will continue to work on my weaknesses, stay focused on my goals, and maintain a positive mindset. Each challenge I face is an...

     As I look ahead to the next 15 years, I can see myself deeply embedded in the medical field, fulfilling my lifelong dream of helping others while continuing to grow both personally and professionally. My passion for healthcare has always been strong, and this passion is what motivates me to pursue a career that allows me to make a difference in the lives of others.

In 15 years, I hope to be specializing in an area that excites me the most, whether it’s cardiology, neurology, pediatrics, or another specialized field. The journey to becoming a skilled pro...

EmpowerHER: Celebrating Strength and Resilience

Image
            The theme emphasizes the importance of unity in achieving gender equality and inclusivity. "WE" signifies that progress is not an individual effort but a collective responsibility. Everyone, regardless of gender, has a role in breaking stereotypes, advocating for equal rights, and ensuring that no one is left behind.      Gender equality is not just about women's empowerment; it is about providing equal opportunities for all. It means valuing people based on their abilities, not their gender. An inclusive society ensures that individuals, regardless of their background, have access to education, employment, and leadership opportunities.      Promoting gender equality starts with awareness and action. Schools, workplaces, and communities must work together to create policies and programs that support inclusivity. When we support one another, we create a society where respect, fairness, and equality thrive.

Valentine’s Day: The Power of Love and Affection

Image
       In my view, Valentine's Day is a beautiful reminder of the importance of love and connection in our lives, but it’s not limited to just romantic love. While it’s often marketed as a day for couples, I see it as a time to appreciate all forms of love—whether it’s with friends, family, or even self-love. The day provides an opportunity to pause and consciously express appreciation for the people who matter to us, something that can easily be overlooked in the busyness of everyday life.      We celebrate it because love, in all its forms, is a fundamental human need. Valentine’s Day serves as a reminder to nurture relationships and show gratitude for those who bring joy and meaning to our lives. While some criticize it for being overly commercial, I think it’s what you make of it. Whether through simple words, acts of kindness, or heartfelt gestures, it’s a day that invites us to express what often goes unsaid.        Personally...

COMMUNITY-BASED RESEARCH      For our ICT-based community research project, our group aims to explore the role of technology in improving life in our local community.
