HONORING THE YOUNGSTER (draft #1)

 

    As we all know, November is National Children's Month in the Philippines. Children and young people have the same general human rights as adults and also specific rights that recognize their special needs. The month-long celebration aims to give Filipino children access to a healthy environment and a good education. As a third-world country, most families struggle financially, and it's the children who suffer the most. This month highlights the ways we can help and support them.

     Children are neither the property of their parents nor are they helpless objects of charity. National Children’s Month which aims to help people realize children’s rights as individuals and allow children to have access to healthcare, education, and a healthy environment. Beyond a doubt, child rights are human rights that also recognize the special needs for care and protection of minors or children and young people under the age of 18. All children have these rights, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, gender, or cultural background.

      

   No child should be treated unfairly on any basis. Children’s rights include the right to health, education, family life, play and recreation, an adequate standard of living, and to be protected from abuse and harm. The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC), and National Youth Commission (NYC) are spearheading the celebration of National Children’s Month. This year’s celebration marks the 30th NCM celebration which focuses on the mental health and well-being of children with the theme: “Kalusugan, Kaisipan, at Kapakanan ng Bawat Bata Ating Tutukan!”

   It is only fitting that we support the celebration which aims to raise public awareness of the initiatives that address the mental health needs of Filipino children and to disseminate accurate information to combat the negative stereotypes about mental health. They are human beings and are the subject of their own rights. This celebration is important to recognize children as the most valuable assets of the nation and to emphasize the importance of their role within the Filipino family and the Philippine society. It is important to keep the children healthy and well-nourished so they may be able to adapt and recover from the effects of the COVID-19 and prevent the worsening of the nutrition situation. Despite the challenges brought about by the pandemic, the NNC-NCR urges LGUs, and other stakeholders to work together in implementing and sustaining nutrition-related interventions for children and their families to safeguard their health and nutritional well-being.

COMPREHENDED (draft #6 reflection)

 

 At the end of this first Quarter, I learned a lot. During the first week of face-to-face class, I wasn't that confident in raising my hand to recite; I was still in the process of adjusting to my return to school after two years of the pandemic. In the following days, I developed friendships, and I am very grateful that they were there to help me.  I improved my ability to pay attention to the teacher. This quarter, students learnt about the internet timeline, internet access, blogs, and blog search engines. I learned new things in my two months in school, I also learned how to manage my time because there are days when we have many quizzes and assignments. I always listen analytically and carefully to my teacher and make sure that I know something every day that the teacher teach us a new lesson. 

Because time management is crucial now, I developed it. ICT includes a lot of memorizing requirements, therefore having a sharp mind can help you do well on any quizzes. This was one of the hurdles I faced. Writing too much has been another issue I've had.

I overcame this difficulty by carefully going through everything, memorizing everything, and just writing the most crucial information to prevent writing too much. I also have ways and strategies for listening, since the ICT subject has a lot of memorizations, one of the ways is to take down notes of important details so that I can answer in case there is a quiz on that subject. I learned to have patience in all situations. 

 No matter what happens, if you have patience and are determined, you will definitely be able to do everything. The amount of things I have learned in this class is immense and to briefly summarize what I learned in class, I would have to claim that I learned how to learn. I'm hoping that this second quarter will be better for me and that today's class will be more engaging.
