Second Journey, Another Accomplishment

-


This second quarter has been both an exciting and challenging journey as I explored the world of HTML and web development. Through our lessons, I discovered how HTML serves as the foundation of every website and how tags are used to structure content properly. I learned that HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language, and it is composed of elements written inside angle brackets such as <html>, <head>, and <body>. These tags define how text, images, and links appear on a webpage. I also realized that HTML is not as complicated as I first thought—it simply requires understanding the structure and purpose of each tag. The most enjoyable part for me was learning to design my own simple webpage, inserting pictures, making links clickable, and formatting text using tags like <b> for bold or <i> for italics. This made me appreciate how web developers create the sites we use every day and gave me the confidence that I can build my own someday.


However, my learning experience was not always easy. One of the biggest challenges I faced was remembering all the different HTML tags and their correct placement in the code. Sometimes, I would forget to close a tag or accidentally type an incorrect symbol, which would make my entire webpage appear broken. There were also times when I felt overwhelmed by the details—especially when I tried adding images or links, but they wouldn’t show up correctly. Another problem was managing my time during class activities. Since coding requires focus and accuracy, even one small mistake could take a long time to find and fix. It was frustrating at first because I wanted everything to look perfect, but it took patience and practice to understand that mistakes are part of the learning process.

To overcome these challenges, I developed a few strategies that helped me improve my work and my confidence. I started by reviewing my notes after every lesson and experimenting with the tags we learned. Instead of just memorizing them, I tried applying them to create simple projects like my own “About Me” page. I also practiced using online resources such as W3Schools and YouTube tutorials to better understand how each tag works in real coding examples. When my code didn’t work, I learned to read it carefully line by line to find what went wrong. Asking questions from my teacher and classmates also helped me a lot because sometimes a small explanation made everything clearer. These efforts slowly helped me become more independent and more determined to solve problems on my own.


 Moving forward, I plan to continue improving my skills in HTML and expand my knowledge into other areas like CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and JavaScript. I know that these languages work together to make websites more creative and interactive. I also want to explore how web design can be used in education, communication, and even business. My goal is to create more professional-looking webpages and possibly build a small online portfolio to showcase my projects. I will continue practicing coding during my free time and stay curious about new digital tools that can enhance my creativity. This quarter taught me not only about HTML, but also about patience, problem-solving, and persistence—values that I can carry with me not just in ICT, but in life as well.

Keeping The Environment Clean Is Our Responsibility

 "A clean environment is not a gift - it's a responsibility." This quote reminds me of the importance of taking care of the Earth. As students, we are not only learning inside the classroom but also outside, where we can apply what we learn through action. This quarter, I participated in community that focused on protecting the environment. Through these experiences, I learned valuable lessons about responsibility, teamwork, and how even small actions can make big change. "Small actions, when multiplied by many, can change the world." September is recognized as National Clean-Up Month by virtue of Proclamation No. 244, and every year, World Clean and Green Week is observed from September 17 to 23. These campaigns remind us of our responsibility to care for the environment, reduce pollution, and prevent disasters caused by neglect or harmful human activities. As a student, I took part in simple but meaningful actions that contribute to a cleaner and safer commun...

Pieces of Who I Am

          Writing about myself has always been one of the hardest things for me to do, because sometimes I feel like I don't fully know who I am yet. There are moments when I think I understand myself, but when I try to put it into words, it becomes confusing. Still, I believe this kind of writing is important because it helps me explore my thoughts and feelings. I may not have everything figured it out yet, but I am learning more about myself every day. Through this essay , I hope to share with who I really am - the things I enjoy, what inspires me, and the person I hope to become someday.              I am Maria Lourdes Franz Cabot. My name was given in honor of Saint Maria Lourdes,  who was also born on the same day I was. My family and friends often call me Frances, but I personally prefer to be called Maria. I was born on February 11, 2010, and raised in Buguig, Bantay Ilocos Sur. I see myself as a friendly perso...

Chasing Mountains and Memories: My Unforgettable Journey to Bantay

  Last weekend, I traveled from Buquig, Bantay to Tayac, a place known for its mountain views and peaceful scenery. Three of my friends live there, while one lives nearby, and I was the one coming from the farthest area. The place is surrounded by tall hills and trees, giving it a calm and refreshing atmosphere - a perfect spot to unwind. It was our long-awaited meet-up, and we were all excited to finally spend a fun day together in nature. At first, there were supposed to be seven of us, but there is a conflict from the schedule, so it became 10am. When I arrived, one of my friends was already waiting for me outside. After my brother left, I climbed onto a motorcycle, which was quite difficult because the seat was very high, it felt like a challenge to even get on! Since there were already two of us on the motorbike, we decided to fetch first the other who also knew how to drive. That way, we could use two motorcycles and travel comfortably together. The ride was full of laughte...
