Reflection

In our last quarter in ICT 10 in this school year, we discussed and learned image editing using Photoshop. We already learned this when we were in the lower years but learning and studying it again was really fun because our knowledge in Photoshop was added.

We learned about the different tools in the Photoshop and it's use or function. We were taught how to use this tools in editing an image. It was fun knowing and learning these stuffs because it can be a great help for us in the near future. There are many things that we can use the Photoshop. We can use this in editing a picture with flaws, when we make an advertisment and in making an image wonderful. 

It's our last year in Junior High School and hoping that I can apply all the lessons that we've learned. Our lessons in ICT will be really useful and helpful in the future.

My Dream, My Future

"Stay true to yourself, yet always be open to learn. Work hard, and never give up on your dreams, even when nobody else believes they can come true but you. These are not cliches but real tools you need no matter what you do in life to stay focused on your path." This serves as my guide while I'm still in the long run of becoming a doctor.

My dream started when I was in elementary. All I ever wanted is to be a doctor. That's why I kept in mind that if I want to achieve my dream, I need to give extra effort and work hard. For me to reach this dream of mine, I need to have trust in myself that I can do this, to have courage, to study hard, to have patience because knowing that before for me to be a doctor I need to study long, and to have a passion on what will I do. I really want to fulfill my dream cause I want to help the Filipinos who can't afford the hospital bills in the future. I wan't to be a great help in the future that's why I'm doing my best to achieve my dream.

I'm in my last year of being a Junior High School student and I'm happy that I did it. Being a student is wonderful despite the many projects, assignments and activities that we've gone through. But wearing a white lab gown with a stethoscope hanging on my neck would be the most fulfilling and happiest thing that can happen in my life.

117th High School Day Celebration

High School Day is the most awaited celebration in our school, Ilocos Sur National High School and we have just celebrated the 117th High School day last March 1-2, 2019. There are many activities in this event but the most highlighted were the coronation and the field demo of the students from Junior and Senior High School.

The first day of the said celebration was to welcome and crown the royal highnesses. And on the second day was the most exciting day of the said celebration because all of the students in our school will participate and can showcase their talents. On that day, students wear their beautiful and colorful costumes with their props and have parade in the morning. And in the afternoon, the contest began and it was shown on the students faces that they were enjoying what they're doing. The students practiced for almost one month that's why they give their very best on the day of their performance. The teachers of the school also have their performance and was cheered by their students. They are dancing lively and all of them were giving their best. And watching them dance with a smile plastered on their faces was really breathtaking and unforgettable.

All of the students really enjoyed that day. The grade 8 girls and boys won the contest but after the High School Day Celebration, all went back to normal because the following weeks will be really a hard week for the students because of the upcoming test.

New Year, New Me

New year is the time at which we will remember what happened in the past so that we will know what to do, on how we will improve and develop our flaws, but the wisdom that the past brought us with will still stay and always be treasured and it will serve as our guide to our journey. New Year also represents hope.

Every time New Year will come, we all have this New Year's Resolution in which we want to change our old self for the better, avoid the things that isn't good for us, we want to face our fears bravely, and make a goal. People sees this day like a new beginning despite the many circumstances that hinders us or blocked us in reaching our goals, that we can change our old lifestyle for the better. That we will face the New Year without fear and hesitations.

It is better to welcome the New Year with new me, with the better version of myself. We can all grab this chance or opportunity to change ourselves for the better and bravely face our fears and problems. No one is perfect, all of us have flaws, differences and problems but despite of these imperfections, we can at least make a change and develop these imperfections of ours.

Kannawidan Festival

Kannawidan is a tradition or heritage in Ilocano. The festival is a celebration of the rich cultural heritage of the province, as well as a tribute to its outstanding citizens. This festival starts at the end of January to celebrate the best of Ilocos Sur Culture.

It's good that we have this kind of festival here in our province, Ilocos Sur wherein the Ilocanos were given the chance to showcase their talents and skills. As they are participating in the different contests, their skills were developed and it boost their self-confidence. In this celebration, the traditional dress and folk dance to tribal rituals are also shown. There are many things, skills and talents that we, Ilocanos have that we should showcase and be proud of.

I know and I'm sure that Ilocanos are talented. That's why I'm proud that I'm an Ilocano. We should embrace and treasure our culture so that the future generations will still see and experience the beauty of our province, Ilocos Sur.

Change: Starts with Me

Change is the only permanent thing in this world. You can either change for the better or change for the worst. Probably, you’ll be thinking what will happen if something or someone changed without you knowing or noticing.

Truth is, there’s always a change happening in our lives that we don’t notice and we’ll just found out that everything has changed and we can’t do anything about it but to just live with it and accept it. That’s why we should change our bad habits now and start doing good things that will help and benefit yourself and others because you can't turn back time and once something has changed without you doing anything about it will surely haunt you and make you question yourself many what ifs. It's better to change for the better now and do the right things than to regret the things that you didn't do.

     For you to help other people change for the better, you need to do it first to yourself, you should change the things that you think isn't good for you and can ruin you as a person. If everyone will change for the better then we will surely have a beautiful and peaceful life. 

Reflection

We started the school year quite chill. Based on mama's point of view, their fourth year as high school students was the easiest one by far. So i expected it to be really easy but truth is, its real crazy!

     Third quarter is by far the most tiring quarter. Yes, we did have a very looooong Christmas vacation but the returns of it was hectic schedules. We've been very busy with our requirements even in our rest days that we failed to notice that the second to the last quarter of this school year has already come to an end. Very exaggerating if i tell that this pains me more enough than how its been but it truly is what i feel. Ending the bond between this set of classmates or more of what is a family, is really hard. All of the memories that's been made from the very first days of my life here in Ilocos Sur National High School will very well be cherished. Special mention to my happy pills, Alexia and Mish. You two made my Junior High School life a very happy one. You two are the best!

     Its been a roller-coaster yet i must say it has been the best years I've spent in a school. All of the hardships and tears always pays off with a laughter and smile. One day i hope we all can meet again and spend time together remembering all of these that we had, dear maxconi.
