SMALL ACTION, BIG IMPACT (1st Quarter Thematic Output)

    

      Environment Month is a time dedicated to raising awareness about the environment and the importance of protecting it. (Typically) Celebrated in June, this month encourages people to think about the impact of their actions on the planet and make positive changes. It focuses on issues like pollution, climate change, conserving natural resources, and protecting wildlife. Through activities like tree planting, recycling and clean-up drives, and educational programs, Environment Month reminds us that we all play a role in taking care of the Earth. Even small actions, like reducing plastic use or saving water, can help create a better future for our planet.

 
   In this photo, I am participating in a school-based recycling competition along with fellow students, wherein our main goal is to reduce waste by finding creative ways to reuse materials found around the school grounds. We collected items like plastic bags, plastic bottles, and a broken transparent umbrella that would have otherwise ended up as trash. By turning these items into something useful, I not only cleaned up the school but also raised awareness among my classmates about the importance of recycling. This competition was a great opportunity to show how small efforts, like utilizing waste, can contribute to a cleaner and greener environment.


   On September 15, 2024, I participated in a school-based clean-up drive called "Paaralan ko, Linis ko," where I led my club in cleaning various areas around the school grounds. Together, we focused on picking up litter, organizing waste, and ensuring that our school environment remained clean and welcoming. It was a rewarding experience to take charge and motivate my fellow club members to contribute to keeping our school tidy. This initiative not only helped improve the cleanliness of the school but also encouraged everyone to take responsibility for maintaining a clean and healthy environment.


  Simultaneously during the said Clean-Up Drive, I am seen in this photo cleaning up leaves and debris that had piled up between the barricades near the school's construction site. I took the initiative to tackle areas that were often overlooked, like this spot where leaves and debris had accumulated. It was important to clear these areas to prevent further buildup, which could cause blockages or other issues. This task reflected our commitment to maintaining a clean school environment, 
even in harder-to-reach places, ensuring every corner was taken care of.


   In the photo, a pile of collected water is shown in the backyard of my house, which I regularly drain to prevent mosquitoes from breeding in it. By doing this, I help reduce the risk of mosquito-borne diseases, not just for the health of the people around me but also to create a healthier environment. Programs like this include the "OPLAN TAOB". Standing water is a perfect place for mosquitoes to thrive, so by keeping the area dry and clean, I’m contributing to the well-being of my community. This small action plays a part in promoting a safer and cleaner environment, free from the dangers of mosquitoes.


   To summarize, simple actions like draining stagnant water, participating in clean-up drives, and recycling can make a big difference in creating a healthier environment. These efforts not only protect the well-being of those around us but also show how everyone can contribute to keeping our surroundings clean and sustainable. By being proactive in these small ways, we can inspire others to do the same, ultimately working together to build a safer and more environmentally conscious community.

1ST QUARTER REFLECTION


During the first quarter, I learned a lot about how the internet came to be and who the key figures were, both in the Philippines and internationally. Ma'am Evelyn’s discussions were really helpful in explaining the history of the internet and how it has grown over the years. Learning about the internet timeline showed me how it started from something small and became something we all use daily. I also found it interesting to explore the different types of websites and blogs, like vlogs (video blogs), moblogs (mobile blogs), music blogs, and photologs (photo-based blogs). It helped me understand the wide variety of content that can be shared online and how each type of blog has its own unique way of connecting with an audience.


     Despite gaining a lot of new information, there were some challenges along the way. One of the main difficulties I faced was understanding the technical aspects of how the Internet works and remembering all the details from the timeline, like the key events and people who made the Internet what it is today. Sometimes, I felt like I needed help trying to keep track of the differences between the various types of blogs, especially since so many have different formats and purposes. It was also challenging to remember which internet pioneers contributed to what, especially since some of the information felt new and unfamiliar.


     To overcome these challenges, I spent extra time reviewing the lessons and asking questions when I didn’t fully understand something. Breaking down the lessons into smaller, more manageable sections made it easier for me to process the information. I also did some additional research on the internet timeline and watched videos about the internet’s history, which helped reinforce what I had learned. Doing this made it easier to remember the key points, and I started to feel more comfortable with the material as I studied further. Practicing identifying different types of blogs also helped me see the differences more clearly.

     Moving forward, I plan to build on what I’ve learned by staying curious about how the internet and content creation continue to evolve. I want to apply the things I’ve learned practically, maybe by trying to create my own blog or exploring other online content platforms. I believe that by doing this, I will not only improve my understanding but also gain more experience with digital content, which will help me in the future as the internet and technology continue to grow.
