Ending a Journey and Beginning Another

Image
 I find myself confused between a want to look back on the past quarter of my junior high school career and a desire to look forward to the new chapter that lies ahead. This final phase has been difficult and wonderful, full of unique experiences that have molded my intellectual and personal development. Looking back, I see how much I have learned, not just from books and lectures, but also from the relationships I have grown, the challenges I have faced, and the lessons I have learned. The growing sense of friendship and connection among my classmates has been one of the most astonishing developments of the past quarter. We have become closer as a result of helping and supporting one another during the ups and downs of our academic endeavors. We have developed friendships that will last beyond our junior high school years, whether it was staying up late studying for a challenging exam or supporting one another during extracurricular activities. These connections have shown me the ...

The Path to Certainty

Image
     I can't help but be excited about how my journey will be in 10 years. I am in wonder and grateful for the path that has brought me to pursue my passion of becoming an electrical engineer as I look back on my life's journey. I have been fascinated by the wonders of science and technology from a young age. The sheer power of electricity, its ability to bring light, facilitate communication, and drive progress, has always fascinated me. I had no idea that my curiosity would set a basis for a career that I never thought would interest me.      My enthusiasm for electronics first surfaced throughout my formative years, which marked the start of the trip . I was so fascinated by it that I was driven to study more about it. I would lose myself in electronics for hours at a time, seeking comfort and thrill. My interest in engineering was naturally sparked by the chance to use my technical knowledge.      I will develop over the ne...

The change only I myself can accomplish

Image
          Change is natural. To be afraid of change is also natural. . In a world filled with challenges and difficulties, it's crucial to keep in mind that change begins with me as a student. Each of us has the ability to positively influence our communities and beyond. We can inspire change and create a better future. Everything begins with a mental shift and the determination to perform quick but impactful deeds.      Self-awareness is the first step in change. Spend some time thinking about my abilities, interests, and core principles. Change is difficult. It is risky, slow to develop, and subject to criticism. And often, one's fear of others is what prevents them from moving forward with change. The hardest and most terrifying element of the process is the initial step since it leaves one up to risk. However, it also creates prospects for independence and immense freedom. Making the decision to bring about change is difficult, and c...

Unconditional Love

Image
            As a high school student, I have witnessed firsthand the unconditional love, sacrifices, and unwavering support that mothers provide us with each and every day. C elebrating the extraordinary role that mothers play and express my deepest appreciation for everything they do. I must say that the unconditional love that my mother gave was special, so special that you can't compare it to others. She continued to show me her affection from the day I was born till this day.      Her love and guidance have given me the strength to face the challenges of high school head-on and strive for excellence. I look forward to the exciting journey that lies ahead, knowing that you will be by my side every step of the way. I want to express my gratitude for the sacrifices you have made to ensure my happiness and well-being. Your selflessness and dedication are awe-inspiring, and I promise to make the most of the opportunities you have provided...

Ahead of progress with excellent work

Image
            Every year on May 1, Filipinos nationwide celebrate Labor Day to honor their commitment to hard work. "Araw ng mga Manggagawa" is how it is referred to in Filipino. In the Philippines, people unwind and spend the day with their loved ones. Labor movements and parades are a component of the festivities in Malacanang (the former American Governor's mansion, now the Presidential palace), as well as in significant cities like Manila. Their complaints, which include the minimum wage, cruel working conditions, and other problems that impair employee rights, are brought to light by these activities. On this day, every diligent Filipino is honored, regardless of their line of work.           Commemorating this day is the same as respecting our hardworking  compatriot. Labor Day is most commonly associated with the commemoration of the events and the achievements that happened on the labor day movement. We must not...

Another phase of difficulty and challenges

Image
        One last quarter before we enter the senior high school life. It feels like the first week of quarter 3 was yesterday. This quarter is different but differently harder than the last two quarters. A hectic quarter I’d say, a lot of activities, and sleepless nights all throught this quarter. But this aint the reason ill give up, this days were endured in order for me to prepare myself for a another quarter and also for my future.      This quarter, ICT first educated us before doing a community-based study. Community collaborations are prioritized at the forefront of community based research (CBR), a methodological approach. Additionally, a wide range of topics are covered by community-based research within a single community. This is what I learned about this subject over the course of the quarter. With the difficulties I ran into.  I have the capacity to work harder and be better, but I have been overconfident in my own talents and to...

Finally, after years of waiting

Image
       Every year on February 25th, there is a celebration known as "High School Day." In addition to commemorating the establishment of our cherished school, this celebration also honors or recognizes the contributions made by our cherished instructors. The 121st High School Day was ultimately observed by Ilocos Sur National High School in 2023, with the subject of "Renewed Commitment in Defying Odds to Transcend Heights of Excellence and Solidarity". Due to the limitations imposed on us by the deadly virus, High School Day hasn't been a particularly grand celebration for the past three years. Because of this, the celebration's various festivities were never experienced by students, instructors, alumni, or parents.      I think that commemorating High School Day is an important occasion that is very important to students. The last day of high school is a wonderful day that closes a significant chapter in a student's life. It is a moment to look b...
