Learning is a choice. Either a peaceful battle or a tough one.

Image
For the second quarter, I discovered more about myself and my classmates, especially in terms of our strengths and the areas where we struggle in school. While I didn’t master time management, I still managed to accomplish my tasks fairly well (or so I believe). I faced challenges in understanding lessons in math and basic electronics, but I found our ICT lessons relatively easy, particularly the activities we completed. So far, ICT has been my best-performing subject, with my highest score yet. After lunch, I often reflect on how much I enjoy attending our ICT class. I not only have fun but also learn new skills, like writing code and using HTML tags. For example: <br> creates a line break, <hr>  inserts a horizontal line, <p>  identifies a paragraph, <u>  underlines text, <i>  italicizes text, <b>  makes text bold, <h1>  creates the largest heading, <strong>  works like  <b>  but emphasi...

EVs are in crucial need here in the philippines, because of the never ending pollution it caused.

Energy consumption, battery production, and waste management are all complicated concepts in the conception of EVs as purely ecologically friendly alternatives.  While electric cars have an environmental benefit in that they reduce carbon emissions, the production of them is largely tied up with the energy requirements and recycling issues that expose that they do not fully conserve the environment.  The International Energy Agency calculates that EVs produce 60-70% less ...
