  My greatest accomplishment this quarter is my writing. Since we have learned so much about Shakespeare, we often wrote, analyzed, or discussed the texts; all three of which helped improve my writing. Then as well we had a reading assignment where we needed to involve different mindsets and abilities. I chose to interview people and compare their results to the characters in my book, through an informative essay. This project helped improve my comparative skills and the ability to draw conclusions. Looking back, I can tell there were some major gaps in my writing, and there still is, however compared to the beginning of the year and even the previous quarter my writing has drastically improved. My greatest accomplishment in quarter 3 is definitely my improved writing.

 "Our voice is the future" ‘As women, we have superpowers. We are sisters. We are healers. We are mothers. We are goddess warriors.” Women empowerment refers to making women powerful to make them capable of deciding for themselves. Women have suffered a lot through the years at the hands of men. In earlier centuries, they were treated as almost non-existent. As if all the rights belonged to men even something as basic as voting. As the times evolved, women realized their power. There on began the revolution for women empowerment. As women were not allowed to make decisions for them, women empowerment came in like a breath of fresh air. It made them aware of their rights and how they must make their own place in society rather than depending on a man. It recognized the fact that things cannot simply work in someone’s favor because of their gender. However, we still have a long way to go when we talk about the reasons why we need it. Almost every country, no matter how progress...

"LENTEN SEASON"   The Lenten season is the most appropriate time to ‘talk’ and get closer to God. I join the Christian world in celebrating the season in prayers, rituals and traditions. We strongly feel the spirit of the Lenten season in the lowlands, particularly in the Ilocos provinces, because we can hear the “passion” songs that depict the sufferings of Jesus Christ. There are night processions where they carry the statues of saints, accompanied by people with lighted candles I observe the Lenten season by praying profoundly and deeply; going to mass; making sacrifices for our Lord Jesus Christ; doing the Stations of the Cross; reflecting and meditating on the passion and death of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Seven Last Words; doing the Visita Iglesia
