Climate Change: Making Resiliency Effective and Stronger

     Climate change is a serious issue that is going on around the world now. Every year it's getting worse. Typhoons are getting stronger. Different unusual phenomena are being felt, like the Sahara desert in Africa being flooded and having snow even if the weather there is very hot, and Mount Fuji in Japan not getting its peak snow only in this year after how many million years.




   But have you ever wondered why there is climate change? It is natural and can get even worse because of manmade. The natural causes include changes in the sun, emissions from volcanoes, levels of carbon dioxide, etc. As I have mentioned, it gets worse by man-made, for example, the burning of trash, which releases greenhouse gases and harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. The greenhouse gases in the atmosphere blanket the earth, so that's why the sun's heat got trapped. For us Filipinos, because of the getting worse climate change, we experience different weather conditions that we are not familiar with from what we are used to. One thing is the change in pattern of the weather. The typhoons are getting stronger. In fact, this year we experienced many strong typhoons that destroyed many belongings of people, like houses, and even lost lives. 



   Indeed that it affected our lives a lot. One impactful is it  affected the work of many specially the farmers. Every year they lost a lot of crops because of unexpected happenings. We did a big adjustments. But despite that it helped us become more resilient. Resiliency  towards a more stronger and positive community and country. Being resilient help us to grow more in managing many kinds of disaster, managing our stress, positive perspective, and adapting to the adversity. I believe and I know that resiliency is a good trait everyone should have and practice.

My Journey Throughout the 2nd Quarter in ICT

Image
REFLECTION    This 2nd quarter, I have learned a lot. From our first activity, where we did the coding using the notepad, to our last activity. I now learned about how to use the HTML tags, how to make tables, how to apply the start tag and end tag, and how to put style on my file. I learned that I can explore so many things, and I can do many things on the notepad of the computer. Using the htm extension, my works on the notepad became alive. Alive in terms that it contained pictures, tables, etc. using words only in the notepad. All of this is now my forte, or should I say, I am capable of doing all of this now. It brought me a lot of lessons that I can carry on every day.     The challenges that I have encountered are that when I first saw what we needed to do, I was clueless because I didn't know what I should do, where, or when to start. It's because it's my first time to encounter this type of lesson and activity in my whole entire JHS year. At first I had a ha...
