Bea's reflection
From being a freshman to a sophomore, it just shows how time flies so fast. First term was quite a ride. For the first few weeks, schoolwork wasn't so bad. But as we got further into the term, everything started to pile up. Deadlines. Projects. Quizzes. This is when all of us started getting stressed. Yet we persevere and carry on. And for that, I am content. Content that I was able to do my work. Not only that, I met new people- my classmates. I believe as a class, we are close. In the sense that we help each other out and there is no conflict in class. Now being as an empowered digital citizen, I make use of the available technology to accomplish my tasks and pursue some leisure activities. We are given the rights and corresponding responsibilities in using digital technologies. Just as we enjoy the convenience of using the web, we also have to be responsible netizens.
Anne's reflection
Although, I'm already in grade 10, i still can't let go the fact that I am not a freshman anymore. I thought that it would be easier for me to pull up my grades this year. Because of the relaxation during the summer, stress was again a new area for me. I had to readjust myself, to be able to balance my school work. It was very relaxed in the first few weeks of the first term, but when the end of July came, my to-do list was flooding with projects, extra credits, and lots more. The hardest part during the term was adjusting to the expectation of our teachers. Last year our teachers adjusted to us, because it our first year in high school. But now, our teachers are strict, and demanding and they expect so much from us then how much we expect from ourselves. Through ICT i have learned on how i should be responsible with me words and actions on social media. I will apply what i have learned in ICT to my daily life.
Anvilou's Reflection
As I went to the High School Department, of course I had to adopt to the changes that will happen. New teachers, new friends, new classmates and new lessons. During my freshmen years, I could say that it was one of the best school years I have experienced, I met my bestfriends whom I really treasure. At first it was hard for me to adjust, knowing that the lessons would get harder. I remind myself that I shouldn't give up, for every failure I get, I use it as my inspiration to do better on the next. From being a freshman, I was now a sophomore. The lessons were getting a bit hard and for us to be able to understand them more our teachers post their powerpoints in Edmodo to help us review the lesson that they had teached. During our ICT class discussion, we were taught the different rules on Netiquette. As an empowered digital citizen, it is important to have knowledge on the different Netiquettes so that while we are using our different social media accounts, we know what are the right things and the wrong things.

Raechell's Reflection
Last school year's ICT was fun and exciting yet this year, ICT is more interesting and interactive. Even though I am now in Grade 10, which is a more busy school year compared last year, I still get to have fun and explore new things through the lessons taught in ICT class. Grade 9 was just a challenge for us if we can survive our 1st year of our high school life, but this year is the real thing. Even though it is just the 1st term, I feel that each day is one of the days that many students call, the "hell week", when all the projects are due and quizzes are scheduled. The topic I liked most was the emerging technology. With the knowledge on that, we, students, can further use technology not just for schoolworks and entertainment, but also for the mere future when we are already working. Another lesson that I believe would always linger in my mind whenever I use the internet, is the netiquette. For me, netiquette is like the golden rule for internet users for it is about the appropriate behaviour in the cyberspace. Remember, "Think before you click."

Jannelle's Reflection
I've honestly thought that things would be better this year compared to last school year and apparently, I was wrong. I thought that since I've stayed in high school for a year, that means that I have fully adjusted to the new system and know how to manage my time. Unfortunately, I'm still suffering. There are nights wherein I barely sleep or even don't sleep at all. Sleep has become a secondary need for me. Despite all the stress and things to do, I still find time for God to talk to him and ask for His guidance. As an empowered digital citizen, I should treat my fellow digital citizens the same way as I treat people in real life. I must also fulfill my responsibilities which is to continue to fight for the rights and speak up for the minorities that are oppressed.
