OSHA Labor Laws

                   This workshop gave a better insight into how government regulations help protect workers and how we should pay attention to these laws ourselves.  By knowing more about these OSHA laws, it can help better prepare us for future injuries as well as future shortcomings that may impact us negatively. By countering it properly, it can help us cope with these misfortunes by knowing more about these labor laws. In this workshop, it's taught us that whatever may come as a result or working, it must be notified to the supervisor or the boss of the workplace so that it can be dealt with properly. There was one video where it demonstrated a girl's issue with the workplace where she suffered a disastrous injury which crippled her for life. By seeing this video ourselves, it has taught us that no issue is ever a small problem since it can escalate due to such overwhelming consequences. By knowing more that before, we are now r...

Interview Skills Journal

               The interview skills workshop really helped out with improving our first impressions pitch. When presenting ourselves in front of others, it's mandatory to conquer and master the art of the interviewing skills. We managed to improve on our efficient yet lacking handshakes as well as our presentation to others. Many flaws were found when undergoing our session with the experts and as result, we've improved thanks to him. The person diligently exposed our flaws on purpose and then commented on it with his own honest feedback which really helped out because his advice later made much more sense when it was implemented.

PBJ Drive and High School Fair- Community Service Hours

               The PBJ drive, sponsored by the honor society in 2016, was completed as community service towards the people in need. It was completed as a result of a team effort since it was a collaboration of making PBJ sandwiches towards the needy. This very event contributed towards working together as a team as well as developing extra skills as a skill set. In this case, it contributed towards cooking skills in a minor way since making PBJ sandwiches is kitchen work. It was also very enjoyable to make such sandwiches in a such a unique way as a team. We were instigated to make sandwiches that were stacked together in doubles, triples and quadruples by accident. It was such a messy process that we even ended up having extras to eat as a matter of fact. Thus, this event has increased my bond with the NHS members and has developed a strong sense of comradeship and team collaboration.                The C...

Extracurricular-Band

                    The activities that I've participated in also lean towards activities that aren't school-based. For instance, I've participated in band ever since freshmen year and have been committed to it with extreme perseverance.  Even though band has caused stress when it comes to performing towards the judges every year,  I've endured such definitive moments that have shaped my life. These very events have developed a certain kinship with the conductor as well as my fellow band mates. As a team effort, it's contributed towards our bonds of players of senior band all the way from junior band. As a result of combined efforts from the other flutes and me as a flute player, I have progressed myself to reach an advanced level of being a flute player. Plus, this very experience also helps out others in the long run so they can bestow the knowledge of music and its assets/benefits.      

GLG Reflection Journal

WBL Reflection journal

Image
                Throughout my high school experience, I've learned to use my WBL experience for it to become a valuable asset in the future. Due to instilled values that are gained throughout the process, it's made me a better person in understanding the workplace in current time. I've learned to pace myself in the ways of an employed person throughout my internships and even in the classroom. Plus, it's given better control into how I perceive the future outcomes of assignments and my own decisions as well. Although, my WBL experience would've really come in handy before, I'm truly satisfied to having learned such wisdom before going to college.                 My years of being an ITHS student having given such values that have made me a better and insightful person both in school as well as outside of school. For instance, developing patience is a key in dealing with critical situations by having a...

PR3-Journal Reflection

Image
                  The objective of this Project was to create a website which conveyed the concept of Identity through our knowledge. I thoroughly researched the concept of Identity before starting this project which developed into this project with the use of CSS, HTML and JQUERY.  It required everything to be linked together to develop such a project and that way it would've been made into a successful presentation of Identity and it's reason of existing. I was able to work on the concept of Identity by expanding on it and finding out how the "Social Identity Theory " is relatable to my definition of Identity.                   I've comprehended the code from my previous labs and projects and expanded on them by incorporating it on this project. For instance, the personal opinions page used the code from lab 12 and lab 11 to create the roll-over JQuery effect which makes the web...

Lb 13-Journal Reflection

Image
                                 The objective of this lab was to create a JQuery animation using a JQuery button function in which it applied JQuery animation to 5 divs. This lab required one function for all 5 div shapes in which each div shape was given certain instructions on how to move and expand as well as shrink in size. Through the process of trial and error, we were given the opportunity to experiment with local- coded animations and succeed with these attempts. This gives a webpage a sharper, attractive and much more revamped look of a webpage rather than using JavaScript alone for a webpage. This demonstration is just an introduction to other forms of JQuery that we may or may not be exposed to in the future.                    With the assistance of JQuery animations, a webpage can be made more user-friendly. For instance, famous compa...

Lab 10-Journal Reflection

Image
       The objective of this lab was to create a webpage that had incorporated JQuery into designing a webpage with selected div elements that would show 4 ways of handling div tags. The 4 div-tag instructions instructed the divs to be show, hidden, fade in and fade out for 4 different div tags. As such, the code for jQuery was incorporated based on the previous experiences of JQuery such as the Khan Academy. Each tag was given certain instructions to respond to the JQuery directions. Also, the div tag and the fade timer were given specific CSS rules to which I conformed them to my liking. The html itself wasn't hard at all and even the JQuery code wasn't difficult at all. With just a little understanding, anyone can achieve such a basic webpage such as this to be used efficiency.           This skill would've really come in handy to create such fluency in a webpage rather than using a table of purely HTML and CSS code. The fact that...

Lab 11-Journal Reflection

Image
         The objective of this lab was to create a webpage that had incorporated JQuery into designing a webpage with our div elements with a certain message for the viewer to be read. In this case, I used a music/song as a message for the viewer which I really hope would be searched online for the meaning of the lyrics. Anyway, the code for jQuery was incorporated based on the previous lab that used the basic code switching div elements after a set period of time. Except in this case, a certain variable was given certain instructions to respond to the mouse movement. Also, the div tag and the division was given specific CSS rules to which I conformed them to my liking. The html itself wasn't hard at all and even the JQuery code wasn't difficult at all. With just a little understanding, anyone can achieve such a basic webpage such as this to be used efficiency.           This skill would've really come in handy to create such fluen...

Lab 12-Journal Reflection

Image
          The objective of this lab was to create a webpage that had incorporated JQuery into designing a webpage with our 8 questions that are related to a certain subject. In this case, band or music was the subject that this website was based on. As such, the code for jQuery was incorporated based on the previous lab that used the fade in/out of a div element. Except in this case, a certain variable was given certain instructions to respond to the mouse movement. Also, the div tag and the division was given specific CSS rules to which I conformed them to my liking. The html itself wasn't hard at all and even the JQuery code wasn't difficult at all. With just a little understanding, anyone can achieve such a basic webpage such as this to be used efficiency.           This skill would've really come in handy to create such fluency in a webpage rather than using a table of purely HTML and CSS code. The fact that such few lines of ...

CTE Expo- Feb 13

Image
                The objective of the CTE Expo was to introduce the freshmen to Web Design and convince them to join the CTE academy. Through my experience, I've recently implemented networking skills to which I recently found out to attract a stranger's attention professionally. It seems that the freshmen will only listen to one of the students in this class if the senior knows a freshman within their social circle to which then it interests them. So, by taking advantage of this, I really gained a better insight to how they think and what really motivates and interests them besides doing no work and communicating with others. As such, with much focus and attentive listening, they're more than likely to join this class.                   This was not just a solo effort but also a team effort as well. My co-worker has also assisted in my achievements since we both worked together and helped convince ...

PR2-Journal Reflection

Image
           The objective of this project was to create a website from scratch based on the interviewed company. I interviewed 5STARS (a.k.a Shoe Magic) in which this business specializes in creating sneakers based on the consumer's desires with whatever design that they can possibly think of. The motto of the company is that it "gives back to people the freedom to do what they couldn't do ever before". This company sparked my interests due to the creativity of the company and flexible it is.If this company ever existed in real-time, I would support and sponsor this company with all the resources that are in my grasp.                    The website was not hard to make at all since I worker in a team of 3 people which aided me through my efforts. I was given the role of a coder while the designer (who is Marissa), designed the logo of the company. I managed to refer to w3schools.com as well as sneakerfrea...

LB7-Journal Reflection

Image
                         The objective f the Mad Libs game was to incorporate JavaScript functions along with CSS and HTML to enhance the game. The game required the user to input their own words, specifically words that fit what the input field required. For instance, if an input field asked to put in a verb or a pronoun, the user could've put whatever word that suits it's requirements. The words would then be accumulated to form a wacky story to which it was outright ridiculous. In order to complete this assignment, I had to use a variety of JavaScript statements to which I had difficulty to achieve. It required a lot of CSS to be used as well to show how the story would be shown. Emphasis had to be taken into account as well due to how the words would clearly outline its significance.                The webpage itself had to be customized to such an extent that the elements o...

LB9-Journal Reflection

Image
                              The objective of this lab was to create a form from scratch using JavaScript, CSS and HTML. We had ti incorporate previous knowledge from before and we also had to use new skills related to form-submit actions. We also used JavaScript loops and statements assigned to each HTML name to which each piece of data was branched off into another JavaScript statement. For each category that the user input into the fields of information, I created code to counteract different inputs of the user and to formulate a response to their data input. In other words, my created code was used to validate input data.                 The lab itself was not hard at all since there was some assistance in creating my web form website to which I referred to w3schools.com, the JavaScript Bible as well as the given code by the Ms.Ramirez. Anyhow, I felt very comf...

Boolean Statements- Reflection Journal

Image
             The objective of this exercise was execute code that holds value to be either true or false.  the boolean statement can decide wether a value can be true or false when used to compare values such as numerical statements and greater than or less than values. With this piece of code, it can be used to compare values for mathematical statements. The usage of this code depends on the person using the code since it doesn't really serve a purpose besides executing math calculations or anything that requires a greater than or less than value. The exercise itself isn't difficult at all and depends on how the boolean function is used such as the person making a boolean function.
