Only The Young

We are now to a future of what we once dared to dream about and longed for under the night sky riddled with endless shimmering stars. To a replacement for the chaos that deemed harsh, lonely, arctic nights. To an end of what once hindered the children of a worthy youth — an end to countless wistful breezes of what they could have been.






Mental health repercussions for children are one of the most complex arrays of challenges during the pandemic. With arising cases, and being unable to foresee plenty of euphoric occurrences, fear, uncertainty, isolation, and parental fatigue arise which negatively affected the children's mental health. A median of 1 out of 5 young people has been reported by UNICEF for often feeling depressed, pre- and during the pandemic. The disruption indeed left young ones fearing the uncertainty of their future. The agony that lurks beyond the outbreak had everyone so engrossed in their own lives that they had forgotten about the children who looked up to them as someone they could rely on.


This year's National Children's Month aims to acknowledge the magnitude of mental health concerns among children pre- and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The well-being and mental health of the children, after all, the odds and lethargy and muddled uncertainties they suffered during a pandemic, is what we ought to improve. Children are everything that is euphoric as they bring tangerine sunbeams to this world's lonely disposition. We must seek a healthier, more productive, and less rough environment for young ones to feel more comfortable in their households.As well as, seek betterment of the life of children in the way they hoped without forsaking their creativity, imagination, or youth. We are now to a future we once longed for. To a future that does not hinder the youth of their rights. To an isolation-free future, where the health, mental, and well-being of each child will be our focus.

    What an interesting entry! The choice of words was appropriate for the message you are trying to convey through this post, which I clearly understood. Continue advocating for an isolation-free future for the youth, because only the young can save us. My heartfelt congratulations for doing a job well done, Keira!

Just like that, the second quarter has come to an end. I am halfway through the calendar, yet fragments of my soul are still caged. I continue to face every day of the quarter with a heavy sigh armed with a plethora of doubts. I shed the skin I wore in the past quarter and weave a new one. I strive, still, to get out of my shell and to achieve what I am aiming for, no matter how one would deem it mediocre.  The second half felt like walking on a dark and dim path of a hallway. Setbacks are indeed inevitable, but this time I can say it's more tolerable. Codes and tags for this quarter were really enjoyable because the emphasis was more on comprehension rather than memorization. The hands-on approach was also an effective way to grasp an understanding of HTML! Being able to witness a webpage after the lengthy (sort of) process of typing and merging the codes we've learned was the spark that made me love the course. As I've gotten fonder of the subject, I'm considering tak

March-ing towards Inclusive Society

As the world moves ahead to mark International Women's Day, the clock on women's rights continues to tick. This month of the year, we MARCH to celebrate women's contributions to social, political, and economic change. As well as we march to remind women that the fight for gender equality is not yet won.  The month-long celebration is also an invitation to listen to women who have been suffering in silence for far too long. On International Women's Month, it is a must to let marginalized women tell their stories. Their stories speak of oppression but it does not end there. Such stories are a testament to their hard work and determination in attaining freedom, equality, and a sustainable future not only for themselves but also for their co-workers; their entire communities; the younger generation; as well as their fathers, brothers, husbands, and sons. The latter proves that the fight for gender equality should not be fought by women and girls alone. To put an end to ineq
