I believe that we live in a cautious world, especially in this troublesome time in the middle of the pandemic. So naturally, medical support is very important, therefore a requirement to have access wherever we are. After listening to the speaker's statement of the clinic in the Ciit building, I gained the knowledge of the importance of a health center.

I experienced in needing a clinic before, I was finishing a project that required hazardous equipment. I was being careful, yet I still managed to cut myself, although not very serious. I didn't had the proper first aid kit with me, so I went to the clinic, and thankfully it was open. I didn't need any more visits to the clinic after that, but I learned the importance of a health center.

Having  such dedicated  clinic moderators encourages me to be responsible, especially in these trying times. The health of a student is important to maintain, so being aware of the different ways to stay safe has been a help not just to me, but to my family as well. Remembering to disinfect the used items I use, wearing the proper equipment when I need to go outside, and keeping myself not just physically healthy, but mentally as well.

When it comes to gaining knowledge, the library is the place we are all familiar with. But in today's generation, technology has become ubiquitous,  and has many access in many information. We can now acquire significant informations everywhere, especially today, where it is not advisable to go anywhere but at the comforts of our home.

I experienced in going to the library many times, especially when I needed a physical book to have. It is such a humbling experience to go where it's quiet, and you can smell the old pages of the books in the shelves. I am also familiar in researching through the internet, no longer needing to go the the library, especially when I have no time for such a travel. But the library is a place where everyone is encourage to bathe in the silent learning.

The Ciit's library has encouraged me to participate in engaging to books, especially if I am there physically. It has also taught me the importance of having access to resources to information. The library was just full of books that I especially would love to to read.  Although today, we are quarantined, I was still encourage to engage in eBooks, that way, I still have access to articles I desire.

Technology has long since been a part of humanity's life. It has become a part of one's daily routine in our advance world. Since many schools has now access to many technologies, from computers, to internet, it is important to be familiarized to our new way of learning.

From listening about the Ciit's I.T support, It very remarkable how much information we can gain from them. One of my family member is an I.T, and from watching closely, I'm aware of how much they have to work, since they have a very complicated process.

The I.T personnel has explained a lot of the information we needed to know, especially since we'll be needing it in the future. Like the many applications we'll be needing, and that we only need to reach out for an access. It' very helpful to be given many opportunities to exercise our abilities.

When paying in the registrar, waiting in line, it may take several minutes, or even hours to get one's turn. traditionally, it is the usual, but with today's technology, and predicament, paying online is now an efficient way of paying. So I'm greatful that paying online will be the innovative term to pay while I attend in my current school.

I have encountered the Ciit registrar in person before, it was when I was applying for a reservation for enrollment for freshmen. It was a very quick process, although there was no line.
The registrar personnel were very nice, even though it was a quick encounter. It's very pleasing to see people who work in offices that still have their patience, even with the amount of people they have to help.

occupations in offices that serves people can be a difficult job, especially when maintaining one's patience and acceptable appearance. I experienced impatient office workers, who are rude and inconsiderate to their clients, it was not pleasant, and frankly unprofessional. So knowing the registrar and it's workers were welcoming was an adequate experience.

Online classes has now been the norm of this generation, with the pandemic still lingering, we had to find ways to keep schools open for students.    Knowing that Ciit has enhanced their technology to reach students with ease.

When I first experience Canvas, I was confused at first, it was definitely a different format than what I was used to, but as I use it more often, it has become easier to use. Since I'll be using Canvas for a while, it has come to my attention the many advantages Canvas has given me. The information and notification that reminds me the works I have to do, the access to files the professors has given us, any many more.

I have previously experienced online classes. But it wasn't as clean and organized to what I use now. Its also gave us advantage to have more time at home, but it had a troublesome process especially when it comes to calculating our grades.

But now that I have the access to a much more professional and organize system, It is no problem to catch up with my projects, and not a problem when it comes to committing to my studies. It has been difficult at first, but the process of learning new things is always enjoyable.

Leading a school means keeping and staying true to their vision and mission for the  educational institution. It is a difficult job, yet very important, for not only does it effect the school and their reputation, but it will effect the students' life immensely. So directing a school must be done with passion, and compassion towards the community, keeping in mind the goal they both have.

1. Begin with the end in mind.                      In my perspective, being ambitious means having a goal to work hard for, it's what drives a person to achieve their vision for their future. But the beginning can be difficult because we don't know what exactly can happen. In starting a goal, one must keep in mind the result they wish to have and the challenges they  will possibly encounter. One must be aware and prepare for the journey.

2. Soft skills.                                                   Soft skills,  by my understanding are social skills that is very important to a person to have especially under employment. It is  a skill used to communicate and connect to co-workers in order to collaborate in an organized and professional manner. It is just as important as hard skills, if not, more. Because soft skills are our image to others, and it will show our potential in being a dependent individual.

1. 4 things to focus on.                               As a freshman, I still have more to learn, and things to keep in mind. I have a lot of things to keep under control.  So when I was introduced  to these 4 aspects,  my mind open, especially to new things I must be aware about myself. I am an emotional person, but I know when to be strict and when to loosen up. Being shy and modest are my weaknesses, but when times comes and I need to step up, I do so. Having a mentor will be a new experience for  me, asking for advices will be helpful for me, yet I don't know when I will do it, but now I know that it is acceptable to.  When it comes to having respect for myself, I tend to be modest, but now I am aware of what I need to do.

Having a passionate President of my school, it encourages me to work harder and better that I have before. It is inspiring to know that my professors and mentors have motives to teach us and gives us more knowledge to help us, it's just heartening.

Reflection: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

# data[].attributes.body
A person's habit can be done unconsciously, meaning that a person has done the same habit so many times that it has become a force of habit. People can have good or bad habits, and we need to practice on having more good habits that ca benefit, not only ourselves, but other people too.

The 7 habits of highly effective people has open my mind to change some of my habits in order to change myself in a good way. By my understanding,

Being proactive can help a person to focus on the good side of someone's life. Focusing on something that we can control can give power and a chance to change their life, so that it can be easier to live on the positive side.
Begin with the end in mind means about being the person we want to be. Knowing the result of the actions we would do. It means thinking through before acting upon the certain goals. This can effect on how people will remember us, and how they will see us a person.
Putting first things first, is focusing on the important things in our lives. By doing this, it will positively give us the idea of the important things we need to act upon, resulting us to prioritize what gives us benefits to our lives, like our family and health.
Thinking win-win is considering the other side of the argument, making benefits to both parties. Cooperating with the other side will give us the idea on how much a choice can affect, not only ourselves, but the others. so thinking win-win is a  kind gesture in caring about others.
Seeking first to understand is being sympathetic to other people, trying to know what other people feel. Being thoughtful to others so that they can be more open and  that way, we can understand the situation well.
Synergize, by my understanding, are the results of two or more individuals working together that is greater than what the individuals can do on their own. this can be positive or negative. By this, it is more efficient in working together than being alone.
Sharpening the saw means making effort in order for our next act to be easier, and making the result to our liking.

These 7 habits can effectively impact our way of living. It will benefit our personal life, and our life with the people around us. So by practicing these habits, we will take a step closer in living a life of positivity and meaning.

An academic institution should not lack a facility of guidance for the students, It is important for students to know that they have a place talk and receive counselling for the health.

1. “True power lies in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, and having confidence in yourself."          -  By my understanding, when one knows themselves, they have the capabilities to do what they think will benefit them, and give them the strength and power they need.  Accepting oneself is knowing your values and everything they are, even the good and the bad, and knowing what to improve for one's benefit, having the confidence is finally realizing their purpose and their ambitions in life. Knowing their worth and their capabilities. Having the confidence to be yourself is a powerful in taking care of oneself.

2. "#iMatter" - In my understanding, is Identifying one's self, being familiar with their personal preferences and knowing their ambitions. It is also self-worth, and knowing that we matter to others in a way we do not know, we affect the lives of others.

1. “Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment", based on my understanding, discipline is the key to learning and training the ability of a person.  It is the source of how we develop our skills and control our performance to be acceptable and  just human being. With discipline,  we will be able to reach our goals and accomplish our ambitions with proper mannerism.

2. "We are not studying for school but for life", what we learn today, and everyday, will become wisdom for the future. Everything we do does not only apply to our performance in school, but outside. We do not only learn for the sake of a perfect performance as a student, we learn to become an efficient person to others and our nation. We learn for ourselves, and by that, we give our best to others.
