REFLECTION
During our discussion, I have learned more about computer. How to use the computer properly. How to communicate with others using the computer and the other technique of computer. Nowadays, computer or internet is very important to our daily life. Computer can make our work faster. You can search your lessons in computer faster and correctly.
Moving on I will study and I will listen attentively to what our teacher is discussing and saying inside or outside our classroom. I didn't met any problem because my Personal Computer is working so fast and also my internet is working so fast. So i can finish my activities in just a few minutes.

the essence of christmas
THE 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 is the real essence of christmas ?
What does Christmas mean to you and me? Christmas is not all about merry making. We must also spare time to reflect on the essence of the period which is the love of God for humanity.
At Christmas, we are expected to spare time to contemplate on things eternal. That is, we must remind ourselves that we are strangers her on earth; that our real home is in heaven. And that no matter how long we live, we shall sure die one day. So many people who started the year 2013 with us are not around to finish it. Like us, they commenced the New Year with high hopes and aspirations. Some may have planned to marry this year, to buy a new car or to move into their new apartment. But alas, all those are now but a pipe dream. Thus, we should count ourselves lucky to be alive to see this Christmas. This should therefore be a period of gratitude to God for sparing our lives and counting us among the living. It should equally be an opportunity for us to mend our ways with God so that we will not be found wanting.
The spirit behind Christmas is that of giving and sharing.
This month, I heard three different people talk about December, they all said the same thing:, oh my “its December, an expensive month”. This caught my attention, why is it that people are talking about an expensive month instead of being happy that it is almost Christmas. We give each other presents but do we really know the essence of Christmas?. Jesus himself said, “love thy neighbor as thyself”.
Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ. A time for us to understand the lessons from Jesus & reflect on them. Jesus brought a new religion based on love & the vision of a God who is full of compassion & forgiveness; a vision of doing everything with a positive mindset & from a place of love. -
