MY DREAM, MY FUTURE

"Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity presented to them. They have developed the opportunity that was at hand." This is a quotation which motivates and inspires me to do my best especially now in my studies. Yes, all of us, each one of us has their own dreams in life. Dreams that we want to achieve someday.

As a normal person, I also have my dream. Before, it was just that simple but as time went by and as i suffer from those worse experiences of mine, I came to dream of a thing I never thought that I can. I admit that I am too shy to face people and too weak to face challenges. But it was YESTERDAY and not TODAY. I've changed a lot even though many people still say that I did not. And this is the main reason why I chose a dream. A dream which I know is quite hard to achieve but I do believe in myself, in my skills with my perseverance and determination to have it and with God, I can make it.

M I L I T A R Y .. Yes, MILITARY is my dream. Someday, I want to enter this life. Ever since I entered the Cadet Officer Leadership Training and the Citizenship Advancement Training, I know that this is the answer to my weakness. Military makes me alive and stronger. I want to show the world that I am not that ordinary kind of girl they think. Another thing is that I want to protect my family. My father, uncle and grandfather passed away and the bad thing is that we are all girls who were left. I want to stand as the male in the family. This military can surely make my life complete. I want to work for them. If the right time comes that I will be ready, I want them to rest. I want to replace them, to take care of them as what they did to me but first, I must totally change myself with MILITARY. I will enter Military life after 2 years. For now, all I can do is to strive hard and wait for that right time.

This is my dream. A dream to where my future depends. :)

What Does It Take To be an ICT student?

ICT is not just an ordinary Subject. In here, we learn a lot of things. It's not just about computer education but rather covers a wide field regarding technology. One thing more, it develops our hidden talents in manipulating computers and those students who have this one of a kind subject, they are considered the luckiest.

What does it take to be an ICT student? Well, I can't state the exact terms for you to understand but for sure, ICT leads you to one corner of success. At first, we can say that it is quite hard to understand. Memorizing tags? Editing pictures? But as we go on with this journey, we come to enjoy it, to love it and to finally make it as one of the things that will give a big and great help when we are to hit the mark.

Initially, educators saw the use of ICTs in the classroom mainly as a way to teach computer literacy. Most now see a broader role: that of delivering many kinds of learning at lower cost and with higher quality than traditional methods of teaching allow. In addition, schools and universities increasingly use ICTs, as do other large organizations, to reduce the costs and improve the efficiency of administration.In examining the development of ICTs in schools, universities and training, an important distinction should be made. In the case of schools, teachers primarily use ICTs in the school as an instructional device. “Distance” learning is rarely part of school teaching. In the case of higher education and training, students are more likely to use ICTs partly to learn at a distance from the instructor. Different teaching techniques are thus probably required in the two areas of education.

ICT is not just a subject. It is defined by deeper terms that can only be understood of you learn to love it. So, if you are one of those students having it, be inspired, aim high, do more, because ICT is one factor which will tell you how to meet SUCCESS.
