Learning Through Mistakes : My Third Quarter Experience

Image
        This Third Quarter, we focused on making a Community Based Research Project, mainly focusing on different communities and categories to study on. With the project, we made a Webpage to showcase our CBR. I learned that in order for one to succeed with a group, it is important to incorporate teamwork because 'teamwork makes the dreamwork'.      Working on a project was not easy, especially we had no experience in making a CBR, but with my team we figured it out on the process of making. One problem we encountered was the gathering of data into our paper because we didn't have enough references. There were also minor problems in making our webpage since we were not used to making these projects.       With the help of my groupmates, we managed to continue and succeed in our project. Helping one another and doing teamwork was one of the reasons that made our project possible.      Moving on, i will continue to app...

Nothing New, Just A Better View In Me

Image
                  I’ve always said every year that I should change for the better and force myself to find the joy and love I have been longing for, but this year it felt weird because I did not promise or write anything that I should change this year. It was not serious for me to say the phrase “new year, new me”, because I knew that I could never force myself to change for someone or for anyone. If only it was easy to say that word “change” and actually change but it scares me to do it knowing I hate change, I feel uneasy when something changes, because I know it will never come back to what it is used to be. It’s like forming a shape into another shape that cannot be formed back into its original state.                          Over the past years I met new people that I loved deeply and became attached to them even if its for a short time. People come and ...
