TLE 7 this quarter for me was fun and exciting. This quarter, I learned that TLE is not only about home economics, it can also be about drafting, arts, and architecture. This had a big impact on me because one of my main hobbies is making art. We learned about drafting, architecture, lines, and materials. Mrs. Dayao willingly helped and guided us with these lessons

These lessons may help me in the future if ever I want to learn about architecture and take that course in college. These lessons help me learn more about illustrating things accurately and creating designs so that I can achieve a beautiful result. We also learned about hazards and risks, which can help me to be aware of my surroundings and different kinds of signanges so that I can ensure safety in my future workplace or in any location I will continue to study more about TLE and these lessons to deepen my understanding.

This quarter, we learned mostly about house tasks and economics; specifically Agriculture, Farming, Hospitality and Tourism, Kitchen Tools, Food and Beverage Services, Guidelines in Food Preparation,  and Napkin Folding. These lessons gave us a deep dive into the concept of career, responsibilities at home, and job opportunities. 

Agriculture is the art of cultivating soil, raising animals, planting, farming, etc. Agriculture is truly crucial, for it serves as our natural supply of resources, it builds economies, and sustains life. Farm tools are a part of agriculture, and they play a very crucial role in farming. They make the process easier and they don't waste time. The hospitality and tourism industries, on the other hand, are significant since they promote countries as a place worth living and they generate income. For kitchen tools, they help in managing our time when cooking instead of making everything from scratch and they make our lives easier. Untidiness and uncleanliness of these tools may lead to improper hygiene and safety since the tools and ingredients are exposed to harmful germs/bacteria. We also have food and beverage services, which is catering and serving food to customers. This is important because they provide career opportunities when we're older, in the service industry. A part of the food service industry is food preparation, which plays a crucial role in cleanliness and orderliness. It is the process of preparing the organization of the tableware.  This is important to enhance the experience of the people eating. Lastly, we have napkin folding which is also a part of table setting. It refers to creating a design of a napkin by folding it. Overall, all of these lessons may help us in the future, especially when we're choosing our career in service industries or in agriculture.

This quarter, our lessons were all about Dressmaking, Sewing Tools and Equipment, Sewing Machines, Tape Measures, Taking Body Measurements, and the Parts of a Sewing Machine. We can apply all of these lessons when we grow up and when we want to be a dressmaker or a tailor. In the future, we will realize how important all of these lessons are.

Dressmaking is all about creating clothing using different techniques like sewing, measuring, and designing. It is a useful skill that helps in saving money, instead of buying clothes. Sewing materials are connected to this. Measuring, cutting, marking, sewing, and drafting tools help us to create accurate clothing and designs. Sewing Machines are machines that stitch automatically and it is the modern way of sewing. A tape measure is a sewing tool, and it is a flexibleruler that is used to take body measurements and distance measurements. The 3 types of body measurements are Vertical, Circumferential, and Horizontal. An example of each are the following: VERTICAL: Length, CIRCUMFERENTIAL: Waist, HORIZONTAL: Width. Finally, the parts of the Sewing Machine should be memorized and we should know how each functions so that we can use the machine properly and easily. 

In closing this quarter, it is clear that TLE 7 has been a fun ride. We learned how to cook, sew, prepare, and more. Our learnings will definitely not be gone to waste, since these discoveries can help us to be responsible, clean, and open-minded. Thanks to Ma'am Dayao, we have new information and lessons in our minds!

This year not only gave us skills, but it also helped us to build and develop our character as people. Every activity we learned taught us something new, and it eventually helps us to be independent and capable individuals. As the quarters passed by, there was a conflict I experienced, specifically in sewing. I'm not a good dressmaker, and I always fear that I will be pricked by the needle in the sewing machine, which lead me to not-so-good outputs. That is one problem I will try to solve next year, and I will try to be more brave and capable.

In summary, this year's TLE 7 helped us carry more knowledge on different aspects of livelihood as individuals. Thank you, Ma’am, for making TLE a meaningful journey!
