MY DREAM, MY FUTURE

Time has passed by and all the dreams we had for our future have not yet come true. The reason is because our dreams and haven't yet become goals.

For me, i have my own dreams to. If you ask me this in my childhood, I want to be a nurse, i want to be a teacher ,but if you ask me now, i have a two major dreams.

 First i want to graduate this school w/ the best grade ever..So my family can be proud of me..

Last , i want my life to be colorful. Enjoying life doesn't waste money, we should use many to do some significative things..

NEW YEAR, NEW ME

              Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right...Write it in your heart that every day is the best day in the year..

              

New year!!new me!! It is a very start of the year for me. I had so many things in my list to do, to change my attitude, to do my responsibilities, and to become a good model in this community.

             When the new year comes around it seems like the perfect time for self-improvement. Even though I've always failed my new year's resolutions, every year I promise myself that this time will be different..

essence of christmas

WE are in that special season once again, a season of joy, of peace, of great tidings. A season when we celebrate the birth of Christ the King, the redeemer of mankind! Jesus is the reason for the season.

What does Christmas mean to you and me? ‘Christmas is not just a time for festivity and merry making. It is more than that. It is a time for the contemplation of eternal things. The Christmas spirit is a spirit of giving and forgiving.’.

For God so loved the world that he gave us his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him will not perish but have eternal life.”When we ponder on God’s love for us, we too are encouraged to share love with others, to embrace peace and be our brother’s keeper. When we are imbued with this love of God, we will be always willing to give a helping hand to those in need, to give succour and comfort to the vulnerable ones amongst others.

These are among the names we all know, but countless people lead lives of loving kindness and service to their fellows, with no thought of fame or reward, save their Saviour’s “Well done, thou good and faithful servant”. For, whenever and wherever the hearts of women and men are touched by the love of Christ, there follows a burning concern for the destitute and the disadvantaged, the orphaned and the old, the lonely and the sad.

EQUAL RIGHT,EQUAL OPPOTUNITIES

EQUAL RIGHTS, EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

                                            Education providers should make sure that students have fair and equal access to the same subjects and that they are assessed in the same way.All the pupils must have the same access to the school curriculum and must be given the same subject options and access to the same amount of subject teaching.This means that both male and female pupils are expected to participate in all aspects of the school curriculum, and courses or specific subjects cannot be open only to one sex. There are no longer any exceptions to this.

The International Young Christian Workers Movement joins hands in solidarity with young women to pledge its continuing support for equal rights and equal opportunities for all young workers.   International Women’s Day is a critical day for us to raise our voices publicly and together.  It is an opportunity for us to celebrate women’s lives and achievements, as well as to focus on the inequality and injustice that continue to occur in our day-to-day lives.  We know from our own stories that young women make up the majority of those living in poverty, that millions of women have died needlessly due to lack of healthcare and safe living and working conditions, and  that there is a worldwide pandemic of violence against women.

CLIMATE CHANGE

CLIMATE CHANGE

              We recognize and share the concerns  about climate change. There is a widespread view that the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases is a contributor to climate change, with adverse effects on the environment."Climate change is one of the biggest issues of this generation…And we have to meet this challenge by driving smart policies that lead to greater growth in clean energy generation and result in a range of economic and social benefits.             
 The fact is that on the key issues, the science is clear: climate change is real and happening now; human-made greenhouse gas emissions are affecting our planet; and we need to take action. Just as we reached a point where we stopped debating whether cigarette smoke causes cancer, we need to end the climate change debate and focus on how to solve the problem.           
   The cause of the temperature rise, and therefore the future course, is settled only within the consensus group of scientists. This is based on work of computer modelers, believing their increasingly complex models show the cause is due to man's activities and that there will be increasing temperatures according to how much additional greenhouse gases are emitted. There are many other scientists who are non-modelers, many with backgrounds as atmospheric physicists, climatologists, engineers, meteorologists, and paleo-climatologists, who do not believe the primary cause is mankind, although this could be part of it. These scientists and the people who follow them are often called climate change skeptics.

going global through english

ENGLISH MONTH CELEBRATION

                          Everyone has their own reasons for the rise of English as the global language. However, there are some common traits between them. Here are just a few samples of what people are saying: "Experts attribute the worldwide spread of English to British colonialism and American culture, rather than to the inherent qualities of the language...

                    

                     English is dominating the globe today because, when the sun finally set on the British Empire at the end of World War II, the United States emerged as a global superpower and cultural giant, leading the way in medical research, technological innovation, motion pictures and rock ‘n’ roll.In the 17th and 18th centuries, English was the language of the leading colonial nation - Britain. In the 18th and 19th centuries, it was the language of the leader of the industrial revolution - also Britain. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was the language of the leading economic power - the US.

               

                      Experts say the simultaneous rise of the US as a military and technological superpower and the receding of the British empire gave many in the world both the desire and option to choose American English. As you can see, there are many reasons associated with the rise of English as a global language. Most people agree that it has something to do with the emergence of the United States as a world superpower. The US has worked hard to reach the level of achievement and cultural clout that it has today, but in no way wishes to wipe out all other world cultures. The important thing to remember is: "A language becomes an international language for one chief reason: the political power of its people - especially their military power.
