Reflection on My Experience and Accomplishments for the Second Quarter

During the second quarter, I learned a lot about Microsoft Word, particularly in creating and designing the front page of documents. One of the most valuable lessons I gained was how to effectively use the tools and features available in MS Word to design a clean, professional, and visually appealing front page. I discovered how to insert headers, footers, and page numbers, as well as how to adjust fonts, images, and text boxes to enhance the presentation of a document.

Chinese New Year is also an observed festival by Filipinos due to the rich historical and cultural ties between China and the Philippines. The Philippines has a large number of Chinese-Filipino or colloquially referred to as *Tsinoy* citizens who have been meaningfully contributing to the economy, culture, and society of the country.
