Second grading very stressful but I admit I've enjoyed it. It is all worth it in the end.

Not a hindrance to success

Child labor, violence, prostitution. Many people in the world especially here in the Philippines don’t value about oneself dignity. Some doesn’t even care and know about it, especially to those regions/families who experience poverty. We all know that poverty is one of the biggest problems here in our country. They are lacked of foods, things, money, and education. Many people especially women and children experience violence, but because they don’t have any power to fight for their rights they just preferred to remain silent. It is every children’s right to go to the school and enjoy their childhood. But because of poverty they are forced to find a job in order to sustain their daily needs. Because of poverty women are forced to get naked in front of their customers in order to earn money. Always remember that poverty made for us to make us strong. And let us all be aware of what is happening around us. We must fight until the end. Let us work hand in hand to address this kind of issues. We can achieve success when we believe in ourselves.

Our beloved Teachers

We all have our own description of a hero and whom we consider as our hero. When we are still young we believe that only Superman, Batman are the superheroes because they have powers. So do we consider our teachers a hero? Why and how come if they don’t have any super powers. Teachers, they are our second parents, our school is our second home, our class is our second family. Always be thankful for all the efforts, time and sacrifices for us just to teach us not only with their subjects but also right manners. Education is very important to a man, that is why teachers are also very important to us. Let us thank them because they serve as our bridge to reach our goals in life. Teachers is an inspiration to all f us, love them and salute them. Again thank you for all the lessons that you’ve given and shared to us. We love you and we will always love you.

Advantage

Currently, the world depends on technology and everyone from young to old seemed to be deeply involved. Technology has become one of the most important elements in todays’ society and its role in our lives keeps getting complex. It is true that it has an impacted to all sectors of the society and even helped to increase efficiency and effectiveness. Technology nowadays denotes speed. People are able to perform certain things with ease and faster than ever before. Daily business transactions are currently done faster than even before. With improvement in internet speeds people have been able to converse and conduct meetings with their counterparts from different parts of the world. People have become increasingly competitive and every year new ideas and technologies are released to challenge the ones in the market. With technological improvements getting churned out every day, people managed to do a lot more work with a lot less effort. In conclusion, the world is introduced to new and mind-blowing ideas every day. While we jump and make merry whenever we see new improvements, it is also essential that we seek to maintain our human nature. Technology is indeed revolutionary but it should also never change who we are as a people.

Resilience

          Philippines is also known as the "Pearl of the Orient Sea". God gave us our country a very beautiful creatures. We have a lot of tourist spots around the country, but with this very beautiful title there is also a title that brings something to us. We are all aware that the Philippines is a "Disaster Prone Country". Our country lies along the Pacific Ring of Fire which result to the occurrence of some natural calamities we experiencing all throughout a year.
          All of us have a different problems. It can be simple or complicated; it can be in love, studies, family, and also in natural calamities. Every person have different style/ways in showing/acting their feelings. Some may cry, some may end their lives, and some may see their problems as a motivation to strive more. We Filipinos are known as a strong people, even in the face of calamities we still find ways to smile. We are tested by countless calamities; flash floods, typhoons, volcanic eruptions, devastating earthquakes and landslide. During this calamities we may lost our love ones, our relatives, our friends, and even our homes and properties but despite of this we still stay strong and smile.
          Filipinos never give up. The spirit to survive and to bounce back and remains undefeated. We may be daunted by the horrible scenes around us, but certainly we will be strengthened by our unwavering faith in God. Together we can face any challenge ahead of us. We may stumble and fall but we will bounced back, arms stronger with vision and faith that after all the pains we survives.

1.	Embedded journalism refers to news reporters being attached to military units involved in armed conflicts. While the term could be applied to many historical interactions between journalists and military personnel, it first came to be used in the media coverage of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The United States military responded to pressure from the country's news media who were disappointed by the level of access granted during the 1991 Gulf War and the 2001 U.S. invasion of Afghanistan.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_journalism	Google	Phrase searcghing

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”.

5. What was the significant finding of the experiment?	NIIT Foundation is now poised to scale up the idea of Hole-in-the-Wall to make a significant contribution to improve the elementary education and life skills of children across the world, especially those in disadvantage communities in rural areas and urban slums.

6. What could be the implications of this finding to existing teaching practices especially those that are related with the use of ICT in learning?	Over the 4 year research phase (2000-2004), HiWEL has extensively studied the impact of Learning Stations on children. Hole-in-the-Wall Learning Stations were installed in diverse settings, the impact of interventions was monitored and data was continually gathered, analyzed and interpreted. Rigorous assessments were conducted to measure academic achievement, behaviour, personality profile, computer literacy and correlations with socio-economic indicators.
