Tasks
1) Meaningful Quote:
”Treat yourself like someone you love.”
-Adam Roa
I chose this quote because it’s something I need to remind myself of more often. People need to remember that they’re worth more than they think. We’re all human and deserve self-love.
2) Favourite Video:

I chose this video because my entire family including me, loves the avengers, marvel, etc. And making something funny out of the sad parts of the movies makes it even better.
3) Inspiring Picture: For more detailed information on how to insert images click here
4) Create a Hyperlink:
Create a hyperlink to a website that is important to you. Explain why you chose this hyperlink.
What is a hyperlink? It is text that you can click, and when you click it, it takes you to a website. To hyperlink text or pictures to a website, find a website URL, copy the URL, then simply highlight the word/words or select the picture you would like to hyperlink to, and press ctrl + v (paste). This will attach the copied web URL to the text. You can also use the chain link button located in the tool bar above. Just select some text, click the link and paste the URL into the space provided. When you are happy with it, click Apply.
