Reflection

      Can you believe it? Four years ago, most of us walked into these halls as nervous as we were the first day of school. We were the freshmen and now the seniors that were about to graduate.

      Time flies so swiftly. Fourth  Grading Period is getting end. And we will living Ilocos Sur National High School and we will be stepping to a higher level of education. For me, I am not yet ready to take up college life especially in deciding on what course I will be taking up.

      During our time in the Information And Communication Technology subject, I have learned a lot of things. The most interesting part that I like this 4th Quarter is wherein our teacher taught us how to edit images in Photoshop.  And this experiences and lessons which we will take with us into the next step of our lives.

      I am hoping that the mistakes I have done this quarter will be change for the better just like the year changes. Hoping also, to be more responsible enough to make every activities that is ought for us to do. Before our journey ends ,let's enjoy the remaining days of being a high school student ,because high school is far different from college life.

Change Start with Me

CHANGE.... a single word but it was really hard to define.

CHANGE.... that is what everybody aimed for.

CHANGE.... with that word, there's a big responsibility on it..
And finally, CHANGE; it is a challenge to everyone of us.

Nobody's perfect. Everybody commits mistakes and everybody sins. But everyone can make changes. All we need is chance and determination to change.

We may change either in physical, mental, spiritual, or emotional aspect but one thing is for sure, change will start within ourselves and it will mold us into a better person wherein we are more comfortable. I prefer to be more responsible to become a model to our country . We should have a self-discipline .I know that changing something about us is very hard to do but if all of us have our determination. I believe that we can make a change and make our country progressive for the next generation. Time is not yet over! all of us let’s make a change !

Everyone experienced changes ‘cause it is only the permanent thing in this world. As we continue our journey of life, we encounter different changes.  Changes that make us responsible or irresponsible. And sometimes used as a ladder in pursuing the chosen battle of life.

So, being me as one, I will start the change for the betterment of everybody. Then I should be proved and show to them that I really deserve to the word "change".

MY DREAM MY FUTURE

I am a young girl with big dreams in life. As you grow old, my journey continues until I can attain all my dreams. Every people have dreams in life for fulfillment. Dreams make every person stronger for us they attain it, they will encounter problems or trials. Have you ever ask to yourself if who you are in the future?

When I was a child there are so many dreams that I want to be in the future like to become a doctor, nurse, a teacher. But now I am in the right age and I am about to graduate and leaving my beloved Alma Mater and enter a new stage of my life. I think I will be more serious thinking about who am I in the 

future because I will enter a new horizon or a new chapter of my life were that is my College life.

In college life you will take a course that suit to your ability of what you can.  I would choose my own course that leads my interest. As I pursue it, I know I am on my path to achieving my BIGGEST DREAM and it is being a registered nurse. People would ask, ‘‘Why you choose NURSING? Are you sure of that course?'' or some may ask, “aren't you afraid of blood?'’.It is because I really want too and I see that I have a passion on it. I want to help other people needing my service and care. And that is what I am going to do. I could see my future working here in the country but I will also go tour around the world. I want to see the beauty of other places.

Like I said before, it is very important to have a dream. Dream can help you to prepare to face this challenging world. But I promise to my self that my dream will not remain just a dream. I will strive hard to achieve my dream so that I will give back the sacrifices of my beloved parents.

KANNAWIDAN FESTIVAL

     We can stand up and proudly say the words "I am an Ilocano." For we, Ilocano’s, can boast to other places our preserved arts and cultures which are really unbeatable.

      It has been a tradition to the Ilocano’s to celebrate the Kannawidan Ylocos Festival. This prestigious celebration is being witnessed by enormous tourists giving their best to reach Vigan City, the venue of the said occasion.

     

      As a proud young Ilocana, fifteen years have passed in my life and I believe that Ilocos has really to showcase its rich Iloco cultural, artistic, historical and intellectual heritage. Lots of activities are being done in connection with the Kannawidan Festival. Some of these activities are the Kannawidan Trade Fair, Miss Saniata, Sarzuela and many others. There are also intellectual contests which are truly useful in perpetuating Ilocos hidden treasures.

      For the people, Kannawidan is one way for them to experience, know, learn, and love the different cuisines, cultures, traditions, and exhibits of their own province, of their own place. This festivity has a great impact to the people for it shows how their province lived and lives. For traders,  Kannawidan is a place, an activity and a way of how their living worked and works. Kannawidan is  a place for showcasing products like furniture, horticultures, crafts, cuisines, the province’s OTOP, and products coming from external towns and/or provinces. Kannawidan is an activity that unites dealers/merchants to one place and creates a market of beauty, food, and creativity.

      This Kannawidan Ylocos Festival aims to create awareness on the preservation of the province' rich cultural heritage, practices and traditions, and a showcase of the different agriculture and industry products. We, Ilocano’s should all be proud of with this because we are having this for tourists to appreciate our rich culture. Moreover, let us all preserve these cultures for next generations and this will serve as our trademark as an Ilocano.
