Reflection

 During the fourth quarter in our ICT class, we learned about Community-Based Research (CBR) and HTML sitemaps. These topics helped us understand how technology can be used not only for creating websites but also for addressing real problems in our communities. Through Community-Based Research, we learned how research can involve the people in a community and focus on issues that directly affect them. It taught us that research is not just about gathering information, but also about understanding real situations and finding possible solutions that can help others. One important lesson I learned from Community-Based Research is the value of listening to people and understanding their experiences. Instead of simply studying a problem from a distance, CBR encourages researchers to work together with community members. This approach helps ensure that the information collected is meaningful and that the solutions created are practical and beneficial for the people involved. Aside from...

My Dream, My Future

 BLOG POST 3     From the time I was a child, whenever someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, my answer was always the same: I wanted to become a doctor. I admired how doctors help people who are sick and bring comfort to families during difficult times. To me, becoming a doctor meant having the ability to heal others and make a difference in people’s lives. As a kid, that dream felt simple and clear, and I proudly told everyone that someday I would wear a white coat and help patients feel better.      However, as I grew older, my dreams slowly began to change. I started becoming fascinated with airplanes and the idea of flying high above the clouds. The thought of becoming a pilot excited me in a completely different way. I imagined traveling to different places, seeing the world from the sky, and being responsible for safely bringing people to their destinations. For a while, I truly believed that becoming a pilot might be the path I wanted...
