The Bigger Picture



Environment is the surrounding in which we live in. It is the natural habitat around us, which is essential for life to thrive in. It constitutes of air, water, soil, animals and human beings.

We humans have a blind spot concerning the degree of dependence we have on our surroundings. Mindlessly, we build and industrialize our habitat in the name of advancement only to later realize that we have been destroying our surroundings all along. We still steadily go on with our reckless way of life without the slightest awareness of what we are doing to ourselves by destroying Mother Nature. It is very important to understand and save our environment.

The hash one reason for environment degradation is Urbanization. We cut down trees, lay roads and build buildings for our sophistication, without even thinking about the implications caused by our actions. In the process we completely destroy our natural surroundings and seal ourselves inside un-natural habitats called cities

With the birth of Industrial revolution, manufacturing processes have speed up to a fraction of the time taken by its handmade counterparts. This has led to mass production which in turn has led to mass consumerism, and before we knew it, we became a consumer-oriented society.

Today, almost every natural resource is polluted. Industries pollute our air with the harmful gases they exhale. Automobiles have greatly contributed to air pollution by polluting it with harmful smoke they let out. Burning of plastics has resulted in the depletion of Ozone layer. Industries pollute our rivers and other water bodies by draining chemicals and oils into them. Commonly used bath soaps and detergents are highly insoluble in water and pollute drainage water. Our soils are polluted by excessive use of chemical fertilizers.



Saving our environment and thereby ourselves is in the hands of each and every one of us. Small changes made to our everyday lifestyle are all we need to do to save environment.

Last year was an immense breakdown for my family. My two grandparents passed away and we're still mourning. But it was a good year at least. I traveled to Thailand, I started debating, and I turned 17 which is cool. Despite of the dramas that happened in the year 2019, I was able to stand up. For some people who may know, I was never been fully healed. Yes, I won't deny that fact but I choose to be vigorous. Looking back to those moments of darkness was an epiphany that revamp my perspective in life. This time I totally understand the way of life. Now, this new decade, I planned to live my life with colors and prime.  I will leave a quote: "It has been said, 'time heals all wounds. 'I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone."

      This month, another tremendous event has been brought by the people behind the success of the Values Month Celebration. It is a time where students and teachers extend their learning experience through the activities prepared by the ESP Department and ESP Club.    In this case, the students will fully understand the significance of Values Education.

REFLECTION

Another chapter has ended. Learning something new is very exciting and interesting. It may be be hard but i am sure that it'll be helpful and make things more beautiful if we applied what we have learned. This 3rd grading of ICT 10 is very hard. For me, it is hard to understand and learn how to put some designs in your own web page. You have to look every single detail of your work because it will not appear what you want to see in your page if you don't review your page twice or thrice. You may disappoint your self if it gone wrong and you have no choice, you have to edit it again and again until it will work. In this grading, it also taught me that you should have a better understanding. Also, patience and determination is also learned. It may seem hard but if you have these, you can make your work more better than what you expected.
