Reflection

After completing this assignment, I learned that a system need many steps so that it could run, just like our health. In a way, we must care for our health so it doesn't get any sickness. Just like a system, you also do maintenance to your body. How? with eating and exercising properly, not smoking, illegal sex, and don't do drugs. If we maintain our health well, like a system, it will always run properly.
