Turning Mistakes Into Mastery (REFLECTION)

    During this quarter, I learned more about HTML, particularly how to create lists and use frames. I also learned how to put these elements into code and create web pages. These concepts were new to me, and applying them in actual code was a rewarding experience. I also gained the ability to transform what I learned into real-life projects, such as incorporating HTML elements into community-based research (CBR).  

    One of the main challenges I faced was making small mistakes in the code, such as adding incorrect tags, which caused the webpage to malfunction. Sometimes, it was difficult to find out where the problem was in the code, which made the process frustrating. There were moments when I had to debug repeatedly just to make everything work​. These problems made the process frustrating at times because even a small error could lead to the webpage not displaying as expected. However, this also helped me appreciate how careful one needs to be when coding​.

    I maintained a good attitude and recalled that mistakes form part of learning. I carefully reviewed the code and learned to be more patient, improving my attention to detail. I sought help from my teacher and classmates whenever I got stuck, which was helpful. Asking for help when needed and taking breaks when things got overwhelming, helped me stay focused and not give up​. Through persistence, I not only fixed the errors but also gained confidence in my coding skills.

​    Moving forward, I will continue to develop my skills in HTML and web development. I

plan to practice more to avoid simple mistakes and improve my coding abilities. Additionally, I plan to stay consistent in refining my knowledge and apply it to situations, like more community-based projects, so I can keep learning and improving.
