Change things for the better

People everywhere go through various experiences in their lives. Every experience affects a person in some way. The resulting effects can be good, bad, or a combination of both. Many aspects of my life have influenced my personality and the way that I live. Breaking my leg influenced my life dramatically. It began simply by playing the game I love most. Resulting in sitting on the sidelines, watching the season drift away. This experience affected my life intensely, yet still managed to make me a better person.

I know you care about something: a person, a place or an idea. I also know that, whatever it is you care about, you want to help that thing. You prefer to be of use and to act in service of that friend or concept, rather than against it. These two points together mean that some actions serve you more than others: the more aligned your cares and actions, the bigger the difference you make. You don’t need to candy-stripe or be nice to your strange uncle (or his weird kids): to make a difference you simply need to question the value of what you’re doing and do something about your answers.

We rarely need big things. As soon as someone starts talking about changing the world or radically reinventing something odds are good he’s talking from his ego, not his heart. The world does not change in a constant rate. We choose how to change it, and it depends on us if it will be changing for the better or for the worse. Since its inception, the Earth has been evolving , and it keeps evolving at the moment ; we all hope it evolves for the better.

Climate Change: Let's be Alert

Over the past century, human agricultural and industrial activities have led to the build up of carbon dioxide and other greenhouses gases. These gases are trapping yet more of the earth's outgoing radiation, leading to an enhanced greenhouse effect and a warmer earth.

Because carbon dioxide and other greenhouses gases are so long-lived in the atmosphere, enhanced greenhouse warming can be expected to persist for centuries. The impacts - many of which are effectively irreversible - will affect everyone on earth. Human health, patterns and intensity of precipitation, water and food supplies, coastal development, energy supplies, the viability of natural systems: all will be affected if Earth's climate continues to change. 

Also due to the unpredictable nature and the limited knowledge we have about atmospheric processes and climate change, scientists are having difficulty coming up with precise predictions about future climate change. 

Technology: A Gateway to New Experiences

     2nd grading had passed, and I’m to say that I learned so many things in our class. Especially about “tags”, it is very amazing that those tags give a really great help in the web.

     Eventhough there are so many disturbances in our class, still our teacher is doing her best so that we can catch up with our lessons. There are times that she is very fast in teaching the lesson but we can still understand it. She also gave us different exercises and activities to test if we really know what we are doing. I haven't finish yet one of my activities that she gave because of some technical problems. But thank doodness she still gave us extension for it. She's really very kind, no doubt with that.

     I hope in the following days in our class, we will learn more and maybe we can also make everyday memorable.

Promoting Digital Literacy through English Proficiency

 

Schools are continually updating their curriculum for digital literacy to keep up with accelerating technological developments. This often includes computers in the classroom, the use of educational software to teach curriculum, and course materials being available to students, online. Some classrooms are designed to use smartbroad, audience response system. These techniques are most effective when the teacher is digitally literate as well. Teachers often teach digital literacy skills to students who use computers for research.

Educators are often required to be certified in digital literacy to teach certain software and, more prevalently, to prevent plagiarism amongst students. Digital literacy is the ability to locate, organize, understand, evaluate, and analyze information using digital technology.It involves a working knowledge of current high-technology and an understanding of how it can be used.

Digitally literate people can communicate and work more efficiently, especially with those who possess the same knowledge and skills. So, by promoting digital literacy through english proficiency we are all be benefitet and this may help us to reach the progress we are aiming for.

Chemergy: Chemistry and Science Clubbing in Synergy

There are so many things that Chemistry should be studied. First, chemistry has an important practical application in society. The development of life-saving drugs is one, and a complete list would touch upon most areas of modern technology. Second, chemistry is an intellectual enterprise, a way of explaining our material world. Finally, chemistry figures prominently in other fields, such as in biology, in the advancement of medicines. Chemistry in every field as a useful intellectual tool for making important decisions. The role of chemistry in the prevailing society is of enormous benefits.

Science clubbing means creation or grouping of students in order to develop their skills and knowledge in order to come up with a nurturing project that will enhance their mental ability to look for a positive attitude on how they will love science as the source of their intelligence. It is therefore up to the students on how they will treat science, or will they accept it as part of their daily activity as they continue breathing here on earth. Because in this manner also each student will learn to interact with their classmates and to larger groups wherein there will be a continuous flow of ideas. This would then be the basis if the students understand what has been thought in the classroom or to involve in teaching this subject was so vague that they themselves do not fully get the meaning of why is there a need to study science?

Furthermore, Science clubbing is very much important for these goals, and every student must join together and make the link as strong as the bond exist between the electrons of noble gases. Synergy, in general, may be defined as two or more things functioning together to produce a result not independently obtainable. Yes, Science clubbing and chemistry must be in synergy. There are things chemistry can do that science clubbing cannot, but there are also things that science clubbing can do that chemistry cannot. Yes, they must unite to conceive a result not independently achievable.

My TEACHER, my HERO

     What else can we think of when teachers are mentioned?, their understandings, hardships, pieces of advice and care that they have given to us. And of course, the lectures, new lessons, quizzes and assignments! Those memories when they came about to tell stories and jokes with us students. Their “sermons” to us during the times when were disobedient or lazy to pass our assignments. It’s their continuous patience and hard works for us that make them our hero

     What could be in a school without our teachers? There would be no students as well that in fact, students will not be able to go to school and learn what they are supposed to learn. There will be ignorance. Having our teachers we were able to learn and understand things easier and quicker. Because of teaching, a lot of people have reached and accomplished their goals in life. Education is the greatest gift that mankind can eer receive. It is vital to everybody. The role played by our teachers became very significant since they are considered as one of the nation builders. On them, rests the failure or the success of the nation. These knowledge, attitudes, values and behaviour bring out good and responsible citizens. A teacher measures the achievements and aspirations of the nation. A teacher is a dynamic force that motivates everyone to become a responsible and productive citizen. A teacher is the backbone of the community. SACRIFICE, DETERMINATION, COURAGE, DEDICATION, SELFLESS service, PERSEVERANCE – these are the common qualities attributed to a hero.

     Our second parents, our best friends, our advisers- our teachers have helped a lot in the contribution of our success. They will forever be a treasure. This teacher’s day was a good way of expressing gratitude to our beloved teachers whom are the reason why we have accomplished most of what we have accomplished until the present. However, we should not only express our warmest thanks to our teachers during the 5th day of the month of October but it should always be done. Thank you teachers! We love you! :)

Thank You TEACHER...

Days filled with laughter’s and joy,

We shared together in our second home

Memories that will never fade

Even if we go in our separate ways.

You’ve given us pieces of advice

To make us better persons in our future life

You’re always there when we need you

In laughter, in sorrow and even if we feel blue.

Thank you for the care and love

Because you are our guardian angel sent from above

Thank you for telling what is right from wrong

And having the patient to be with us all along.

We are very thankful that you came into our lives

touched our hearts with your inspiring stories

Laughed with us with our corny jokes

And love us with your own big heart.

Despite of being together

We came to reality that we’ll separate ways

But we love you more than any words can say

And I know we’ll see each other someday.

For you will always be here in our hearts

Together with those precious memories,

That made our high school life worth while

Thank you so much our dear teachers--

                                                     Our best friends, our advisers and our heroes.
