An Unforgettable Experience: A Journey into Entrepreneurship

Image
  What if the path to entrepreneurship isn’t just about starting a business, but about discovering how to turn your passions into a way of life? This was the heart of the event on March 17, where we had the opportunity to explore the diverse world of entrepreneurship through the various specializations of T.L.E. (Technology and Livelihood Education). More than just a school fair, this experience opened our eyes to the endless possibilities that come with combining creativity, skill, and a business mindset. It made me wonder: Can entrepreneurship truly be taught, or is it something you learn by diving in and embracing challenges head-on? Our adventure began at the TLE T’s Go booths, located right in front of SPTVE. Filled with mini-games and interactive photo opportunities, this area was the perfect place to have fun and get a taste of how business can be tied to entertainment. As we played, I couldn’t help but reflect on the question: How do simple games and interactive experience...

Celebrating Women's Month: "WE for Gender Equality and an Inclusive Society"

Image
“In the future, there will be no female leaders. There will just be leaders.” – Sheryl Sandberg  The theme "WE for Gender Equality and an Inclusive Society" invites us to reflect on the power of unity and collective action in fostering a more equitable world. It emphasizes that achieving gender equality is not just about policies or individual efforts—it’s about each of us coming together to break down barriers, challenge outdated stereotypes, and build a society where everyone, regardless of gender, has equal opportunities to thrive.      We often talk about equality in terms of access to resources, education, and rights, but true equality also means creating spaces where people feel seen, valued, and heard, irrespective of their gender. It requires not only acknowledging differences but celebrating them, and most importantly, ensuring that every individual can fully participate and contribute to the fabric of society.      In an inclusive society...

Love isn’t just a day, it’s a thousand little moments wrapped in red and gold.

Image
Have you ever wondered why we set aside a  day to celebrate love? What is it about Valentine’s Day that makes people go all out with flowers, chocolates, and sweet gestures?            Valentine's Day, celebrated on February 14th, might seem like just another commercial holiday, but it has deep historical roots that go back centuries. Originally, it was linked to St. Valentine, a Christian martyr who was said to have performed weddings for soldiers forbidden to marry. Over time, it evolved from a religious observance into a celebration of love and affection. The modern take on the holiday focuses not only on romantic love but also on expressing appreciation for friends, family, and even pets. Essentially, it’s a day to take a step back and celebrate the connections we hold dear.      The reason we celebrate Valentine’s Day today, beyond the commercial frenzy, is simple: we live in a world where expressing emotions and affection often t...
