ISNHS' 123rd YEAR!

 The 123rd Foundation Day of Ilocos Sur National High School (ISNHS) was successfully celebrated and here is my fun and wonderful experience throughout the two days of celebration: 

      Since I was a part of the Debate Club which is an affiliate of the English Club, we opened a booth that is open to all of the people in ISNHS, we sold stickers, customized pins, photocards, albums, and bracelets that people loved. We also gave our freebies for each of their purchases. This happened during the first day of high school day. 

     On the second day, a foot parade was conducted early morning to formally start off our Foundation Day, as you can see in the image that we are prepared together with our banners! 

Here's a picture with my classmates together with our adviser, Ma'am Remy. 

After the foot parade, we were recognized as one of the Most Disciplined Section during the foot parade! 

This was during our Field Demonstration and we were ranked as the 4th. On the other hand, the boys were ranked as the 2nd place. 

    After our fun and exhausting performance, we just simply ate some chicken barbecue from Mang Inasal, which we enjoyed and had a casual conversation with 10 - Maxwell along with our adviser. 

      The significance of the yearly celebration of the Foundation Day of ISNHS is that we will never forget how our school started. And that until now, it continued to progress and facilitate learning that students won't forget. Thanks to the people who always makes this day possibly in order to commemorate our founding anniversary. May we continue to always celebrate this significantly relevant event in our alma mater. Together let us Soar, Fly, and Aim high for Ilocos Sur National High School!

ESTUDYANTEPRENEURS!

 

The Estudyantepreneur by the students with the guidance of teachers who are inclined with the TLE subject showed their different skills in making future businesses that are suitable and practical for the future.

These are the booths/services that they offer: 

We played a game wherein you must move the hook to the other side without                               touching the metal part of the device, but we failed to do so. 

After a few steps on the way to the other services and booths, we finally arrived at                                                          the beauty care station. 

Nail care by TLE - Beauty Care students, they offer nail art and cleaning for students and teachers. 

Film viewing in computer rooms by the TLE- ICT teachers that showcases the best short-films made by Grade 8 Special Science Class students. 

Dart game by the Agriculture booth wherein you can earn points and prices like candies and school supplies. 

That's ends our journey on exploring the different booths and services they offer! I had fun visiting each of them. This is one of the activities that I look forward to every school year.

THE LAST AND FINAL QUARTER

         The last quarter of the school year has finally come to an end. In this quarter, we have learned about the software application called the Microsoft Front Page or the MS Frontpage 2003. We learned how to make web pages without the struggle of coding HTML codes because this application is a graphical HTML tool that allows us to experience the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) in making a web page easier and more convenient. Moreover, we now know how to insert images, texts, hyperlinks, align, change fonts, colors, adjust pictures and text sizes, preview pages, and many more that are essential in creating a web page. Futhermore, we have also learned the different types of tabs, tools, properties previews, etc. In short, in this quarter we mainly focused about the application in making a web page in a simpler way. And lastly we have learned about Networking and its types such as the LAN, MAN, PAN, and more. We also tackled the different types of network cables like coaxial cables and fiber optic cables. 

   The problems and challenges that I have personally encountered are loss of connection, error in inserting and copying that causes my works to be finalized and saved. This delayed my time on working in making a web page, including my other classmates that experienced the same technical error. The previews were also not that helpful because it was not accurate to what I have worked on. It pushed me to work on a new page for my website to work. 

          I addressed these problems and challenges through refreshing, troubleshooting, and rebooting our server in order to retrieve our connection back. I did the same with the errors about saving and inserting needed details. And I properly saved and viewed my works with the help of my classmates and teachers. We helped each other to solve these issues.  

       Moving on, I will not forget the knowledge that I have gained in this quarter and I will carry it until in the high grade levels. These have helped me discover things that I didn't know before, but now I am familiar in using these applications that I never knew it was possible. We should continue the pursuit of learning and let us be eager to learn new things as time passes by.

YOUTH FADES, WISDOM GROWS

 

     I think that growth is one of the most beautiful part of a life of an individual. Through growth, they discover things that they never though it would be possible. Such as interests, skills, talents, personalities, characteristics, and many more. As time passes, these factors continue to grow and nurture for their futures and until they reach the older stages of life. 

     I see myself 15 years from now, that I have finished my studies, and found a good and stable job to sustain my everyday living. Probably, I would be working in the medical or veterinary field. I also expect that I will find a person or a significant someone that will be my companion for the rest of my life. Most possibly, I will have a child whom I will give all my love and care to him/her. I just hope that in a span of 15 years, I will achieve things that I have always wished for. This goes the same for my friends and family that I hope we will see each other grow as the years go by. 

     In 15 years, I hope that we will all achieve things that we desire. As time passes by, may our hopes and dreams in 15 years come true. I will continue to pray for success, happiness, and good luck not only on myself, but for everyone. I hope that the odds are on our side.

WE CAN BE ALL EQUAL

       Gender equality is when people of all genders have equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities. Everyone is affected by gender inequality - women, men, trans and gender diverse people, children and families. It affects people of all ages and backgrounds. Moreover, men and women have equal rights and responsibilities in the society they belong to. Gender equality is also about sharing responsibility for the development of all. If gender prevents us from seeing the weaknesses and strengths of each individual, it can lead to discrimination against each other.

     An inclusive society recognizes and celebrates the diversity of its members, promoting equal opportunities and eliminating barriers to full participation. It goes beyond mere coexistence, aiming for the genuine integration of all individuals, regardless of their origin, gender, sexual orientation, abilities, or any other unique traits.

     This theme for Womens' Month: WE for Gender Equality and an Inclusive Society mainly aims for gender equality and an inclusive society that provides individuals a space where they can thrive without the worry of discrimination and fear. In these theme we can surely achieve a society where it is safe and free from harm and discrimination.

You Make Me Feel Special └⁠(⁠ ⁠＾⁠ω⁠＾⁠)⁠」

      Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14 because the Roman Catholic church honored two saints named Valentine on that day.  Both of the saints were ancient Romans who died due to their Christian faith.

       Nowadays, Valentine's is the day to celebrate and express love, romance, friendships, and admiration. This is the day that you can show your love through greeting cards, chocolates, flowers, and gifts or anything that makes a person feel loved, appreciated, and seen. 

     I personally show my affection with words, simply greeting my teachers, family, classmates,  relatives, and friends with "Happy Valentine's Day" or "Happy Hearts' Day." I would also express my affection and gratitude by giving them handcrafted presents or crafts such as paper flowers, letters with sweet treats. These may be simple, but these are my ways to show that I genuinely care for them. I can see through their expressions that they can truly feel my appreciation when I hand them the gifts.
