Friendship: A difficult start

Making friends was incredibly difficult for me in nursery school. Being too shy to communicate and interact with other kids made me isolate myself. After a year, I changed schools, but I remain the same, I lack friends and continue to be a quiet child in a classroom full of energetic children. However, a kid named Marcus suddenly came up to me and said he wanted to be friends. My very first friend was him. We grew close and remained closest friends until grade two, when he relocated to Manila. Despite this, I can claim that he was a huge influence on my ability to make friends and interact with other people. In the years that followed, I began making new acquaintances, and I was glad.
When I transferred schools in fifth grade, I was initially shy as usual, but over time, I was able to get along and make friends with them. I used to find it difficult to communicate and make friends when I was in a new situation, so I'm grateful of my current group of friends for helping me become a new version of myself.

    It's very hard to find friends in a new place, and that's okay! because slowly you will find friends to call family, be patient and don't lose hope when it comes to it. You're a good person, and you deserve a better friend. which is them^^

    We all know that making friends is one of the hardest, especially when you are the type of kid who has always wanted to be alone and was not able to communicate because of shyness. Hearing you make friends as time goes by is great; you were able to make friends that you can also call family!

    I relate to you when it comes to being a shy kid who doesn't know how to go straight up to someone and ask them to be friends with me, so I'm glad that you're able to overcome that and make friends in your current school life!

    Finding people with whom you'll have a strong bond that lasts is rare. As an introvert, I can also say that it's not easy to start and build a relationship with someone that is why I am also grateful to my friends for staying with me even in the worst times.

    Sometimes it's really hard to make friends because we're afraid that they might not accept us, but I believe there are still some persons who can truely accept who we really are, I'm glad to be one of your friends, Micaela!

    It's nice to see you grow as you try to conquer your own fear and get outside your comfort zone. Keep building and cherish your friends no matter what happen, because they will be the ones who will guide you when you need it. It's fun to be friends with you, Ella!

The Equality of Genders

Woman can do what men can do Background Women have disadvantages as a result of gender roles that differ. This restricts their ability to safeguard and provide for their health as well as their access to resources. Compared to men, the percentage distribution of hired women in agriculture is smaller. Growing up, I saw that boys would often remark things like, "Mas malakas ako kasi lalaki ako." I do not want the next generation to have even greater prejudice towards guys and assert that men have greater ability. Aim Gender equality aims to create a society where men and women have equal rights, obligations, and opportunities in all areas of life. Objectives • Encourage individual female success • Have a conversation about gender equality with your family and kids. • DISAGREE WITH RACIST AND CHAUVINIST ATTITUDES. • ASSIST WOMEN IN GETTING POWER. • Encourage collaboration between all genders. Target The main target audience can include: • Government officials  • Heads of private

The Equality of Genders

  This advocacy poster aims to ensure that all people, regardless of gender, have equal access to opportunities and rights. Gender roles differ and this has consequences for women. The goal of gender equality is to establish a society in which men and women are afforded equal opportunities, rights, and responsibilities in every aspect of life.                        I used Canva to create this poster, and Ibis Paint was used to create parts of the logo. The circle's element stands for women's struggle for equality. I want this advocacy to be taken seriously because, as we all know, women are frequently denigrated by society. Some people are finding it difficult to obtain employment due to the unfair gender restrictions placed on certain positions. Growing up, I witnessed boys making comments similar to what I've mentioned in my advocacy: "Mas malakas ako kasi lalaki ako." I don't want the next generation to be even more prejudiced against men and believe that
