       They go through numerous struggles, go through sleepless nights, go through heaping workloads, go through psychological drawbacks. However, they go through every predicament with a strong mind, with the same objectives in mind – to mentor, to inspire, to guide, and to develop a person by providing the direction they need. First of all, teachers show how dedicated they are to providing their students with general and academic knowledge; with their love for teaching, they can instill a positive atmosphere wherein students have a comfortable learning zone while being encouraged to explore various learning areas.

Throughout the whole quarter, I enjoyed creating blog posts, as well as learning HTML tags.           HTML tags are the first thing I learned in ICT this quarter.

          When two love birds collide , a precious gem is delivered. Being named Airish Yafa Landicho, my name is a combination of both my parents' creativity. I was born in Israel, but my father and I returned to the Philippines when I was 3 months old. I initially lived in Leynes, Talisay Batangas. However, I moved to Ilocos Sur to fulfill my first level of education. As of the present time, I have two siblings that I consider my dearest in life.     First of all, I am a   student who excels in a few subjects. Despite having weaknesses, I focus on the positives and strengths. I consider my smartness as my big strength. With this, I managed to top classes. Every year, I am high honors, thanks to the Lord and those people who support and love me.   In conclusion, I do not need to be  about my weaknesses. I have my strengths and weaknesses. Everyone does. So, the best thing to do is to think positively. This way, we can be a goo...
