      One of the key lessons I learned this quarter was the importance of time management, especially making home page designs, applying elements in front page, making attributes, applying also images and making hyperlinks using interactive buttons. Juggling multiple projects and responsibilities has taught me to prioritize tasks, stay organized, and be proactive. Additionally, I discovered new ways of collaborating and asks for help, understanding the importance of communication, and teamwork in achieving common goals.    The most significant challenge I faced this quarter was balancing my responsibilities in ICT with other activities in other subjects. The workload sometimes felt overwhelming, and I struggled in doing this both. Additionally, there were moments of self-doubt when things didn’t go as planned, and it was hard to maintain motivation.    To overcome these challenges, I learned to break down tasks into smaller, manageable steps. I starte...

              March is celebrated as Women’s Month, a   time to honor and uplift women’s achievements, struggles, and contributions to society. This year’s theme, “WE for Gender Equality and an Inclusive Society,” reminds us that gender equality is not just a women’s issue, but a collective responsibility. It urges everyone,regardless of gender, age, or background,to work together toward creating a world where gender-based discrimination is eradicated, and opportunities are open to all.    Gender equality isn’t just about women achieving success,it’s about creating an inclusive society where everyone can thrive. Women, throughout history, have fought for the right to be seen, heard, and valued equally. But this fight continues, as women still face challenges related to pay inequality, workplace discrimination, access to healthcare, and so much more.      The idea of "WE" in the theme emphasizes that change cannot happ...

  Valentine's Day, celebrated annually on February 14th, has become synonymous with love, affection, and appreciation for our partners, friends, and even family members. While its origins are rooted in ancient traditions, the day has evolved into a global celebration of love in all its forms. But what is Valentine's Day really about, and why do we celebrate it the way we do? Let's take a closer look. The origins of Valentine’s Day date back to ancient Rome. Some believe it honors St. Valentine, a Christian martyr who was executed by the Roman Empire for secretly marrying couples during a time when marriage was banned for soldiers.

Over time, these ancient traditions were intertwined, and in the 5th century, Pope Gelasius officially declared February 14th as St. Valentine’s Day. In the Middle Ages, it became a day associated with courtly love, where knight...
