Poverty is a violation of Human Rights

           Here in the Philippines, schools celebrate United Nations month with different activities. They also held lessons about cultural diversity. This is true to the spirit of the United Nations that commemorates friendship and partnership of nations.

           United Nations month is usually celebrated on the month of October. The theme for this year's celebration is "Coming together with those farthest behind, build an inclusive world of universal rights and dignity." It is important to recall the fundamental connection between extreme poverty and human rights, and that people living in poverty are disproportionately affected by many human rights violations.

           Extreme poverty and human rights are connected with each other. Extreme poverty violates the rights of a human life for example, a family who is so unfortunate and does not have the opportunity to got to school, or to attend their basic necessities like going to a hospital if they are sick or going to schools to learn but poverty keeps them from getting their rights.

           Now, we should stand up and expose ourselves to the reality of our world. We should stand help those people who are in need and eradicate those corrupt politicians who are the number 1 reason why we are experiencing poverty. We should help together and fight poverty and fight for our rights.

Reflection (Second Quarter)

    Another quarter has passed, and another new knowledge that have been gained. This second quarter, students are ready and hoping that new lessons will be added to their knowledge and exciting activities that they will do again. And I was not disappointed because this second quarter I have learned all about internet access and the HTML.            The lessons of this quarter is easy for me to understand because I was super interested in it. I may have encountered probems but I easily coped up with it and went on. At the first lesson I did not understand it at first but I thrived to learn and I asked my classmates what's all about the lesson and I understood it easily. And for the basic HTML it was easy for me and I love coding. It easily registered in my mind and didn't even have to memorize or review it because there's a trick about it.             Moving on, I will keep what I am doing because it's a good...

Reflection (4th Quarter)

Fourth Quarter, the school year is about to end and my junior year is also near to end. It's sad and happy at the same time. It's happy because I will finally finish my junior year and it's sad because I will miss a lot of happy and sad memories of my junior year. It's also sad because some of us will go to different schools for the senior year. This fourth quarter we haven't had a lot of time to study our lessons in different subjects because we practiced a lot for our field demo for the High School Day celebration. And we are also practicing our cheerdance that is a requirement for our P.E. in M.A.PE.H. For me, it was so tiring but it's fun to dance. “The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.”  ― Molière I also encountered challenges this fourth quarter because we are loaded with activities, projects, quizzes, and thematic assessments. I also complain sometimes but I always tell myself that I can do this all. I will also miss my t...
