  "A mother is an angel walking in human form on Earth to take care of human beings who needs somebody to look after them. She is the most selfless person in this world who always keeps her family before her and considers a top priority.

         THEMATIC ASSESSMENT IN ICT    I always have goosebumps whenever I am watching a documentary featuring women. A camera walking down a hall showing portraits of women who have different achievements and contributions which helped humanity inspires me to take higher risks and be braver. As the camera walked its way, the world is more protected. At that time, gender inequality was checkmated by queens. Gender inequality died the death it deserved, giving more space to women empowerment.          Women have gone through a lot in a male-dominated world.

  " The   more   afraid   you   are ,  the  more the world gets scarier. If we don't stop being afraid, when will this pandemic stop?"                   The Corona Virus Pandemic is changing our lives the way we never expected before.
