Valentine's Day, a holiday commemorated annually on each February 14th, had Roman and Christian roots and evolved to become an international holiday about love. First to be in dedication of St. Valentine, the Christian martyr, it has become to signify the expression of love in whatever fashion-whether platonic, familial, or amorous. Why should I be celebrating? For the same reason that it gives time to family and friends to enjoy their loved ones through gifts or acts or simply good times that solidify all. Cards, special meals, love letters, or caring acts are all forms of love. Flowers, candle dinner, or shared activity all bring a sense of being loved by the other person. Love, for me, is care and presence. How do you express love on this day?

It was the easiest so far because I mastered ordered and unordered lists and gained new insights into the differences between Community-Based Research (CBR) and Applied Research. I also learned about HTML frames and nesting, which helped my team structure our web pages effectively. One of the highlights was our discussions with Ma’am Charleen, our practice teacher, who explained nested lists so well that I only made four mistakes on our quiz.        One challenge I encountered was understanding how nested HTML elements work, particularly when using multiple frames. Organizing information properly for our CBR project was also a struggle. I also had a hard time in coding especially we used css. I did have a hard time because these lessons is not discussed.      To address these challenges, I practiced coding, reviewed examples, and sought guidance from my teachers and peers. For...
