1.
I took the third challenge, to submit a quality assignment or requirement.
I submitted and presented an assignment and requirement in our IT011 class.

Yes, I was able to beat the challenge. I got a high grade for my presentation. I feel happy, but I think I still could have done better. And I will.

I learned that when you work hard on something, exert your efforts into an activity, like my challenge for example: For one week, I kept going to school a few hours before my real class starts because I have to use the open lab to make my presentation - my assignment. It was quite tiring and stressful, but after all the work, I received a high grade. I feel good about it because I know that I deserve it.

2.
After watching "An Inconvinient Truth", my reactions to it are:
The most striking scene for me are the once beautiful and rich places in the world, the 'before' and 'after' pictures. Before they were so alive, but 'after' looked terrible.
I kind of pity our Earth, because it is in so much ruins when it deserves care and love from us human beings.
I knew that our world faces plenty of problems, but I realized that it was worse than I thought, because its affecting everything and everyone. It really is a big deal.
The specific actions I can do to help are just small, but I believe that if I continue being a responsible citizen, not littering and influencing others to be concerned with the environment, will be a great contribution.
