Reflection: SECOND GRADING PERIOD

Next Page Please!

               

                            Time runs fast. Every tick-tack of the clock brings us changes. Almost 4 months have already passed and second grading is about to end. We have to open new chapter of our 4th year high school life, 3rd grading period. Next page please!

                   Going back to the previous chapter, I would say that it was full of experience. My knowledge in first grading became wider, these were doubled, tripled. I have learned new pieces of knowledge which my teachers have imparted to us again. Entering the world of HTML(Hypertext Mark-up Language) is definitely exciting. I have discovered creating HTML file and tried it in a HTML editor, Notepad. But this was only "start tag" and I learned more about this. As time goes by, I discovered that I can still reformat this by turning it to bold, italic, underline, subscript, superscript, etc. That was not the "end tag". I have discovered also the font attributes. I can format now the text using font attributes, font size, font color, font face.

                            I have my great experience this grading period, because in our Analytic Geometry subject, we had our educational hike out at the radar satellite station. A deathly hike out. It really challenged our patience and strength just for us to reach its top. It was not easy to climb but we did it! And I am proud to say, “I SURVIVE!”

                     Beyond these experiences and pieces of knowledge, there are also problems. Many projects are assigned to us and when the deadline came, we were running of time and rushing everything. There are also times that I got low in our quizzes. In address to these problems, I use my time wisely and finished my projects and assignments in time. And I tried my best to review our lesson to get high score.

                        Moving on, I will strive harder and I will be more studious. And be always positive. I will be more confident so that I can be out of my shell. I will start the next page with a more confident me.
