A Day That Will Never Be Forgotten

-

          "Best High School Day Ever," a phrase that has been circulating on Facebook during and even after the foundation day of Ilocos Sur National High School. Many of us, students, have no experience with an event like this, especially students affected by the pandemic. Events like this are usually disapproved because of the circulating virus. It's fortunate that we got to experience a fun high school day where a lot of activities were done.

            The foundation day started with a parade by section. It came to our attention that there would be an award for "The Most Disciplined Section," so we, Marconians, prepared for it. Fortunately, we won the award, and we couldn't be more proud of ourselves. Cheers and happy screams were heard as they announced us as the winners. It was a tiring parade, but it was worth it.

           

  

          Next was the field demo of each grade level. Unfortunately, we couldn't watch the other grade levels' performances due to overpopulation in the field. Furthermore, it was a bright sunny day, so we decided to stay in one covered place while waiting for our turn to perform. Around 11 am, we performed, and it was enjoyable to see people smile as we gave our best. The grade 10 girls won first place, while the grade 10 boys were declared champions. I was disappointed, but I was glad I had the opportunity to showcase my talent and love for dancing. We celebrated by having lunch in our classroom, where contagious laughs could be heard.


          At 1:00 pm, we prepared for our organization duties. We set up our booth and waited for customers to come. It was a fun experience since it was my first time selling stuff, though I was embarrassed by whatever I was blabbering, which lessened my dignity. My introverted self was challenged, but overall, I enjoyed every single bit of it. We sold a lot, and I can say that we really did a good job.


             

          At 2:00 pm, the concert started. During the concert, they sang one of my favorite songs, "With A Smile" by Eraserheads. While the song was playing, I couldn't help but think of someone special. She was not physically present, but it felt like she was there beside me, as if we were both at the concert together, singing our hearts out. Suddenly, all the love songs played during the concert were about her. I think this showcases how down bad I am with that person, though I wish she were really there with me. Additionally, it was enjoyable watching students, including us, sing and dance our hearts out like there was no end.

          The concert was the last activity of that day. People sang multiple songs, some of which I knew, some I didn't. As I reflect on the day, I have concluded that the school organized an amazing event. I want to express my gratitude towards them for allowing us, students, to escape the harsh reality where problems exist. The event was a healing experience for me, and it was a significant help. Thank you, ISNHS. ISNHS's High School Day will surely never be forgotten.

The Canvas of Growth

-
Image
    In the journey of self-discovery, the term "perfectly imperfect" encapsulates what best describes me. Much like a well-rounded student report card, my academic path exhibits a mix of accomplishments and areas where growth is needed. This blend of strengths and weaknesses serves as a testament to my resilience and adaptability within the ever-evolving landscape of education. Life has a way of throwing unexpected challenges our way, and it's in those imperfections that I've found my strength. Just as a piece of art gains character from its flaws, I believe that my imperfections are the brushstrokes that paint the canvas of my unique identity. They remind me that I'm a work in progress, constantly evolving and learning from my experiences.      One thing of being perfectly imperfect in a scholastic environment is my ability to seamlessly balance academic rigor with a fervent pursuit of extracurricular activities. I've consistently dedicated myself to my studi

Growth Over Change

-

               I don't really buy into the whole idea of change. Honestly, it sounds a bit like chasing after a shooting star – dazzling but elusive. Instead, I'm all about growth. It's the kind of progress that's more like tending to a plant than flipping a switch. So, here we are, on the brink of 2024, and while everyone's chanting "New Year, New Me," I'm more inclined to steer clear of grand gestures. Let's keep it real and explore some down-to-earth resolutions that align with the belief in steady, meaningful growth.                The first pitstop on this road of growth – the art of saying no. Honestly, I've always been skeptical about the whole "change overnight" deal. Instead, I'm leaning into the idea of setting boundaries and learning to say no when needed. It's not about a radical transformation; it's about growing into the person who knows when to hit pause, preserving energy for what truly matters.

Capturing Change Through the Lens of Responsibility

     In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, 'You must be the change you want to see in the world.' As we mark National Clean Up Month and World Clean and Green Week, we confront a critical problem: environmental degradation. Our actions, or lack thereof, have disrupted the natural balance and exposed us to natural disasters.      Through a photo blog, we showcase our commitment to disaster prevention and environmental conservation. Join us on this visual journey to understand the urgent need for change and the role we all play in ensuring a cleaner, greener future. 1. Coastal Clean-up       Here's a photo of our Science and YES-O club officers, including me, along with our dedicated teachers, participating in a coastal clean-up. We believe in the importance of preserving our coastal areas to protect marine life and prevent pollution. 2.
