"Making A Good Start"

          It was a good start for the school year because I have learned many things in ICT IV. First of all is the knowledge I gained about how the INTERNET came up to its development through the contribution of its architects, and pioneers. I also learned how to create my blog. The internet was really helpful especially to a students like me because it doesn't just provide us information for our homeworks and projects in school but it also helped me have a little enjoyment during my freetime through the social networking sites, online games and other services and tools in it. During this first grading period, I am glad that I learned how to have a blog through the help of Mrs. Veracruz, my ICT teacher. During the past part of my high school life, I heard about this blog but I didn't have any idea on how to create one so I'm thankful that now in my life as a senior, I've learned it and it was really helpful because it allows me to share my ideas on specific topics and it also helps me a lot in improving my writing skills.

          Problems and stressful things are not preventable in our life. This first quarter of the school year really gave me a lot of stress because almost every night, I have to do homeworks and requirements for school and if I really can't bear to stay awake, I'll just set my alarm clock at 3:00 a.m or 4:00 a.m and that would be the time that I will finish it. It was really frustrating because when I go to school the next day, I would feel sleepy but I had to make myself awake especially during class discussions so that I would understand the lesson. Internet connection also became one of my problem because in our house, we don't have a steady connection.

          Despite of these problems that I encountered, I made it as a challenge for me to overcome them and I found time to have my schedule in studying my lessons. I had now my practice that when I am coming home from school, I either eat first my dinner or take a shower before doing my assignments because I want that when I do my assignments, I feel fresh and ready to face my works and I want that there would not be disturbances to what I am doing. I also made it a habit not to do my assignments in front of the television because I want to change my habit when I am still in third year and It was really effective and helpful.

          Moving on, I will continue to do the good things that I started specially in terms of my study habit and I am hoping that I will properly handle the next grading period by having a better performance in our different subjects. I will strive harder in my studies and I will have advance readings on expected lessons so that I would be able to understand the lessons that our teachers will give us.
