Survivors

Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) which is one of the world's strongest and deadliest typhoons, prompting a rare public storm signal no. 4 in Visayas. 1976 Mindanao earthquake with a magnitude of 7.9, this tsunamigenic earthquake caused buildings to collapse. And the Mt. Pinatubo eruption which damaged houses and buildings in Luzon. Those are just some of the natural disasters that happened in the Philippines which killed thousands and thousands of people in the Philippines. Including ambushes  and endless wars in Mindanao that trampled their human rights, such as the right to live.

Filipinos had suffered a lot from these natural disasters and non- stop killing in Mindanao. But, the Filipinos never give up. Despite of all the pain and all the suffering, they still survived and ready to stand again. They didn't lose hope from God. The hope was written or seen all over their faces. They smile even during a disaster. They still manage to wave at the camera even though their life is already in danger. They show their unity in facing any challenges or problems that comes in their way. Filipinos proved that they don't easily fall.

Truly Filipinos are resilient.

Reflection

During the first quarter in our subject in ICT, I have learned a lot about internet. On what does it mean, what does it do, what its history, who created it and many more about internet. Then we go to the next lesson which is all about blogs. Blogging is my favorite that we have learned in the first quarter for it helps me improve my writing skills though at first, I'm not really fond of writing. Blogging also helps me enhance my vocabulary and grammar. Through blogging, i can already express my ideas to other people. At last, we study all about search engines. first is on its definition, then on its types and on how to make a better search with search engine.

During the first quarter, I also faced challenges or problems. One of these is time. Time is the biggest problem for me because I don't know how to manage it or use it well that's why sometimes it's hard for me to finish my blogs on time. Another is my laziness. I spent a lot of time in sleeping than finishing my works. I also easily get distracted by my gadgets. And also, there are lots of requirements that were given to us that's why sometimes I don't know where to start.

Despite these challenges, I had overcome them by motivating myself. By telling myself that i can do it and also by making these challenges as a lesson in life.

Moving on, i will continue my journey. Problems are just problems they say. Whatever challenges I will encounter in my way, I'll face it and use it as strength not a hindrance to achieve my dreams in the future.

4. His team carved a hole in the wall that separated NIIT campuses from slum areas. Why did they carve hole in the wall?	This innovative methodology was first experimented in New Delhi where Dr. Mitra‟s team carved a “Holein-the-Wall” that separated the NIIT premises from the adjourning slum in Kalkaji. Through this a hole, a freely accessible computer was put up for use which proved to be an instant hit among the slum dwellers, especially the children. With no prior experience, the children learn to use the computer on their own. The experiment suggested that children, irrespective of their social, ethnic or educational identity, can learn to use computers by themselves, thereby closing the much discussed „digital divide”.
