Whether it's through hands-on experience, self-taught skills, or a natural talent, our worth is not solely determined by our credentials. It's important to remember that intelligence comes in many different forms, and it's not always measured by a degree or a certification.

Unfortunately, the pressure to prove our worth through traditional credentials can sometimes cause us to overlook our own unique talents and abilities. We may feel that we're not "smart enough" or "qualified enough" if we don't have the right degrees or certifications, which can hold us back from pursuing our passions and achieving our goals.

But the truth is, we are all capable of greatness, regardless of our formal education or credentials. By embracing our own unique abilities and talents, we can demonstrate our worth and intelligence in a way that is authentic to us.

So don't let the pressure to prove your intelligence through traditional credentials hold you back. Remember that your worth is not determined by a piece of paper, and that you have the power to demonstrate your intelligence and abilities in your own unique way. Embrace your strengths, pursue your passions, and let your true intelligence shine through.

It's important to recognize when we're in a relationship that isn't serving us and to take steps to let go of it. While it can be difficult to end a relationship, especially if we care about the other person, staying in a relationship that drains us is not worth it.

Toxic relationships can take many forms - perhaps your partner is constantly critical of you, or maybe they make you feel guilty or ashamed for your choices. Whatever the specific dynamics of your relationship may be, the end result is the same - you're left feeling drained, unhappy, and unfulfilled.

Breaking free from a toxic relationship can be scary, but it's also incredibly empowering. When we let go of relationships that no longer serve us, we make space for new and healthier relationships to enter our lives. We also give ourselves the chance to focus on our own well-being and happiness, rather than constantly trying to please someone else.

So if you're in a relationship that's draining your energy, it's time to take a step back and evaluate whether it's truly serving you. Remember that you deserve to be in a relationship that makes you feel happy and fulfilled, and don't be afraid to let go of relationships that don't meet that standard. By doing so, you'll be opening up the possibility for a more fulfilling and energizing relationship to enter your life.

It's important to remember that pursuing our passions is not just a luxury - it's essential for our well-being. Engaging in activities that we love can help reduce stress, improve our mood, and increase our overall sense of fulfillment in life.

Unfortunately, many of us get caught up in the day-to-day grind of work, family responsibilities, and other obligations, and we end up neglecting our passions. But when we do this, we miss out on the many benefits that come with pursuing what we love.

So if you've been neglecting your passions, it's time to make a change. Whether it's setting aside time each week to pursue a hobby or making a career change that aligns with your passions, taking steps to prioritize what you love can have a profound impact on your overall happiness and well-being.

In short, don't forget your passion. It's not just a nice-to-have - it's an essential part of a fulfilling life. So make time for the things you love, and don't be afraid to pursue your passions, even if it means taking a different path than the one you're on now. You won't regret it.

Increasingly, members of this generation are choosing to forgo having children altogether, opting instead for alternative paths to fulfillment. Some may feel that raising children is simply not for them, while others are concerned about the environmental impact of having children or simply prefer to focus on other aspects of their lives.

This shift in perspective is part of a broader trend of Gen Z breaking with traditional norms and forging their own paths. Rather than simply following in the footsteps of previous generations, Gen Z is carving out their own unique identities and finding fulfillment in ways that may not have been considered "traditional" in the past.

This trend is not to say that having children is not a valid and fulfilling choice for many individuals, but rather to acknowledge that there is no one "right" path to fulfillment. It's important to respect each individual's choice and recognize that there are many different ways to live a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Ultimately, the shift towards non-traditional paths to fulfillment beyond parenthood is a reflection of the changing values and priorities of Gen Z. By embracing these changes and supporting each other in our individual choices, we can create a more inclusive and accepting society where everyone can find their own unique path to happiness and fulfillment.

The feminist movement has existed for centuries, although it did not gain much traction until the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The first wave of feminism was based on women's suffrage and the right to vote. During this period, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution guaranteeing voting rights for women in the United States was ratified. The other wave of feminism, focusing on a wider range of issues like reproduction rights, employment discrimination and domestic abuse, emerged during the 1960s. As a result, college departments of women's studies and feminist groups like the National Organization for Women NOW were established in this wave of feminism.

We are currently witnessing what some refer to as the third wave of feminism. This feminism emphasizes intersectionality, recognizing that women's experiences differ based on their color, sexuality, and financial situation.

Advocating for feminism is essential because it aims to overcome the underlying injustices that women confront in our society. Women are still paid less than males for doing the same job, and women are underrepresented in political and economic leadership roles. Women are also disproportionately harmed by domestic violence and sexual assault. feminism is about establishing a society in which all individuals are treated fairly and given equal opportunity. It is about removing the obstacles that keep women from reaching their full potential and ensuring that they have the same rights and protections as men.

Feminism has had a huge influence on our culture. It has led in the development of laws such as the Violence Against Women Act to protect women from discrimination and harassment. It has also resulted in the formation of organizations that provide services and aid to women who have been victims of domestic violence or sexual assault. Feminism advocacy has also resulted in an increase in the number of women standing for political office and occupying positions of leadership in business. Women currently lead Fortune 500 corporations, and women have been elected to the highest levels of government, including the presidency.

Feminist advocacy is a centuries-old movement that is still as relevant today as it was before. It aims to eradicate the fundamental inequalities that women face in our society and create a fairer future, where all people have access to opportunity equally. Feminism advocates have had a huge influence on society and will continue to do so. There is still a need to promote feminism and work towards gender equality. 

People are becoming colonized by the internet as time goes on. too much reliance on the internet for information and pleasure can be detrimental to cognitive skills including memory, problem-solving, and critical thinking. This occurs because when we rely too heavily on external sources for information, we may become less adept at retaining and processing information on our own.

We rely on the internet so much, that if we unintentionally cut our fingers while chopping vegetables, we go for our phone first and look up how to stop a sliced wound online, rather than grabbing a bandage or cloth and knot to stop the bleeding. Due to our excessive reliance on the internet, we have forgotten that humans are the highest species on earth and that we are capable of taking initiative.

Reasons why depending too much on the internet renders you ignorant.

1. Lack of critical thinking

When we rely on the internet for information, we might not exercise critical thinking or analyze the data we discover. It's critical to assess sources and take the veracity of the provided information into account.

2.  Limited scope of information

Although the internet may offer a great deal of data, it's vital to keep in mind that not all of it is reliable or accurate. It's simple to fall into the trap of relying on information that is simple to locate rather than doing a comprehensive search for information, or of just accessing material that confirms your own opinions or biases.

3. Loss of social skills

The internet may be a great tool for communication, but it can also result in a lack of social skills and face-to-face connection. We run the risk of missing out on crucial chances for personal growth and development when we rely solely on the internet for communication and socializing.

4. Dependence on technology

We risk losing the ability to address issues without the internet if we rely on it too much. We risk losing crucial abilities like critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making if we rely too heavily on technology.

The satisfaction of being socially relevant in consideration of your attractiveness is incomparable. I enjoy receiving compliments, and my favorite is when someone praises my slender figure, these individuals have no idea how much pain I go through to get in this shape.

Some mornings, I simply sit in bed and look up at the ceiling of my room while debating in my head whether to prepare a mug of strong black coffee for breakfast or eat something more substantial. As always, a mug of coffee always prevails.I always avoid eating because I find it to be so time-consuming, especially when I have errands to go. If I had to pick between eating for five minutes or applying makeup for ten, I would graciously chose doing makeup for ten or more minutes.

When I was a child, I truly enjoyed eating. I enjoy how my family goes out to eat after Sunday service, I also enjoy going to birthday celebrations. simply put, I adored going to any event that involved food. when I turned 18 everything changed. I started to avoid attending gatherings, not because I dislike the individuals that attend events, but because I detest it when others comment on what I eat. I once sat where my other aunts sat at the wedding's mealtime at my aunt's wedding. When they saw that I had chosen the caesar salad, they mocked me, "mao rana imong kaonon sa kadaghan handa?" and I just smiled as my respond. My other aunt simply looked at me while I mixed and questioned why I kept mixing my food. I just reply to her " busog paman gud ko ta". Since I was a bridesmaid that day, I must admit that I felt a little more peckish than usual, but I restrained myself from eating since I didn't want to bulge in my dress. 

I always look at the nutritional information labels before making a purchase to see how many calories I would ingest from that item. If the item has 200 or more calories, I will respectfully return it to the shelf. I have my cheat days just like everyone else, but after the day is over, I always make sure to push my body to throw up whatever I consumed that day. I can hear anorexic thoughts in my brain saying you don’t need to eat just to live, every time i decided to eat.

I used to think that these things were typical up until one of my high school friends informed me that my sudden weight loss wasn't normal and that I should see a psychiatrist because I could have eating issues. there are various of eating disorder and I have anorexia. According to my doctor, anorexia is fairly frequent among young girls, and there are several strategies to deal with this problem. Eating disorder recovery has no time restriction. You could reflect on your life throughout the years and say, "Wow, I wish I had done that sooner." Yet, you act in a way that suits you at the moment. I usually find myself moving backwards if I act too hastily. I'm not suggesting that you always need to feel prepared to move forward with some things in recovery because frequently you won't genuinely feel prepared. The moment I am ready to push myself to the next level, however, I am aware of it in myself. Even if I might not feel prepared for the following step, I come to the realization that I must still go for it.

When you asks about a man's perception of a lady, a man will always respond, "The shadow of every man's achievement,” or "The mother who fills a house with Love and devotion," or "The female sibling whom should always stay in the house and learn the domestic duties," Women frequently have a reputation for being inferior in all aspects.

In this patriarchal culture, women have been sidelined and oppressed throughout history. They commonly have to undertake minimal tasks and roles, or worse, they are not required to work at all. Women have historically been seen as an addition to or companion to males in society. As a result, they have acquired the capacity to gradually blend in or operate behind the curtains, and preserve silence in a world where males predominate. Over time, women's roles have seen significant transformation. thanks to people who fought for women’s rights. Nonetheless, the gap  between men and women has not entirely disappeared. Several cultures hold the view that women were intended primarily to serve as men's intimate partners or simply a someone who's obligated to serve man and his offspring. I'm still perplexed as to why there are still women who hold this belief. My women, we are more than this notion. 

let’s stop this perception, but how? when our elder taught young women that women are built smaller than men. Men are always chosen to lead things because people think “they can lead well”, bold of these individuals think “males can lead well”, when men constantly seek the emotional validation of women. Notwithstanding the difficulties they have faced and still face, women are still able to succeed to the fullest extent possible. In today's existence, women perform tasks that our society believes are solely fit for men. such as, a woman can support her family financially; a mother can work 8 hours a day to fulfill the needs of her family. We already know that individuals think that men are the best archaeologists. However a female archaeologist disproved their claims. an archaeologist at the University of Santo Domingo named Kathleen Martinez made the discovery that a tunnel under an Egyptian temple could lead to Cleopatra's tomb. Many male archaeologists have been searching for the late Cleopatra's missing tomb for how many years, but they have yet to unearth anything remotely linked to it. Knowing that the road to success for women is paved with more detours and obstacles, these ladies have the guts to go through just to prove them wrong. 

It takes strength and assertiveness to be a woman while while preserving kindness. It involves being sensitive and sympathetic toward the people we care about in our life without feeling weak for doing so. It includes pursuing our objectives despite whatever obstacles we may experience along the road.

The women we see now are bold, independent women. they keep making contributions in many areas and are excellent at what they do. They are change pioneers who exude quality and inspiration. woman nowadays, no longer ask for approval before speaking. they are no longer looking for “ knight and shining armor”. Why seek for a knight with shining armor when I am one myself. 

I am not “just a woman”; I am a woman, I can speak, I can lead, and I can decide what path I want to pursue. I am more than what you could expect. 

Throughout the years, many of us have acquired friends. There are those friendships we establish as kids with whom we later lose touch as we get older. We meet other friends as adults, we keep in contact with them for as long as we are nearby and it is convenient to do so. Nevertheless, as time goes on, one of our friends may move away or our schedules may get too hectic, and we begin to lose touch. 

Becoming friends with someone is pretty usual for us, especially in college. You can have random conversations with students at the cafeteria. And then you get smile at them when you cross paths while waiting for each of your classes. The next time you’ll know, you have become friends. 

However, picture having a buddy since the first grade. A buddy you can always count on, a buddy who was there for you during difficult times and who never failed to see the best in you. Every time you were down, they would always lift you up. When you felt alone, they stood by you with patience and understanding, Imagine having this “someone” during the initial years of entering school up until college. 

Engr. Jeff Hentzen Simene, and Engr. Jay-ar Lomonsod have been friends since the moment they entered the world of learning, and like other first graders, they used to play traditional Filipino games. as per Engineer Simene, from the moment they entered 1st grade they knew they will become future engineers. since they find enjoyment in dismantling and reassembling their toys. Out of that basic delight, they nurture and manifest the ambition of becoming an engineer. 

As their friendship grew and built a deeper bond, they experienced separation when Engineer Lomonsod changed their domicile and transferred to another school in the middle year of elementary school. They believed that was the end of their friendship. 

Destiny played its part in reconnecting them. As they began their senior high school years, they went at the same university, which is USTP. we all know that when we begin our senior high school years, we must pick what course we would pursue after completing these two years of senior high school. Mechanical engineering has always been their primary choice, but they have no clue which school they would go to support them accomplish their aspirations. The dream of being an engineer remained with them throughout their lives. Mechanical Engineering was popular at the time since the University of Science and Technology of the Southern Philippines ranked among the top two performing schools in the Mechanical Engineering Licensure Exam. As an outcome, they chose USTP as their partner in achieving their goals. 

As they started college, they experienced a variety of problems. Some of their topics are difficult for them and they almost fail, but they always encourage each other when one of them is struggling academically. They conduct after-class reviews on the areas that they find challenging and exchange thoughts and suggestions to help them identify where and what aspect of that subject they are struggling with. There are moments when one of them becomes physically and emotionally drained and considers giving up, but they are fortunate to have each other. when engineer Simene is going through this phase of his life, engineer Lomonsod is there to boost him up and motivate him, and vice versa. They had each other's back in every way.

“We shared same goal, and we collaborated to accomplish it. Without you, my buddy, that dream will remain a dream. thank you very much pal!”

these photo was taken when they were studying for their licensure examination. “These are the days of struggle and conflicted feelings. “The licensure examinations are fast approaching” feeling.

They have the "no one left behind mindset" in their friendship. They developed this mindset from the start of their friendship. From having the same desire in elementary school to assisting each other with papers in high school, having after-class recaps in college, and studying together while living their ambition of becoming engineers while prepping for their licensing board test.

The seed of their togetherness in achieving their objectives develops and bears fruit of accomplishment. They completed their bachelor's degree in Mechanical engineering last 2022 together. The hardship they faced and the helpful hand they exchanged throughout the board exams bore fruit of success. 

The graduates of Mechanical engineering last 2022. 

They passed their Mechanical engineering licensure exam as a pair.

Their childhood ambitions had already been attained. According to them, they cannot reach their goals without the assistance of one another, and when difficult times arise, we need someone to lean on. We don't really need a “romantic partner” to call our own, but we do need a companion to lean on from time to time.
