Change: It Starts With Me!

Change is a six letter word but it means a lot. It can make a difference in the world. Yes it can!
We (the student leaders) had a youth rally with the theme: “ako ang magsisimula ng pagbabago” and as a supreme student government officer I also attended the Regional Leadership Training or RLT in Sta. Barbara Pangasinan. I learned many things there. Change should really start with ones self. Mrs. Vera Cruz asked us “What small deed can you do to help our country and make it a better nation?” I was shocked with that question so I have been into contemplation. Let me reminisce the small deeds that I have done. As a student I am doing my responsibility in the classroom and that is by maintaining its cleanliness and of course not only our classroom but our surroundings. I should be a disciplined lady and should respect my parents, teachers and others. If others will see what I’m doing for sure they will also do it. I would influence them to clean their surroundings, be a disciplined person and show some respect. As a good citizen I also take good care of the animals, plants and everything because God created us to take care of His creations. I am also planting a tree for the future because we all know that trees can help us for example if there may be floods or landslide. Let us also be a honest Filipino citizen so that our country will be a free crime community. It would be a peaceful community.
Nothing is permanent in this world. Everything changes. Yes it does whether we like it or not. Let us change for the better and not for the worst. Change starts with me. How about you? Will you also want a change in you for the better?

"NEW EXPERIENCES AND LEARNINGS"

Time passed by so quick…I didn’t notice that we are already in the month of January and were entering the year of 2010.
Reminiscing the past makes me feel sad. It’s like it had happened yesterday that we entered Ilocos Sur National High School as a fourth year student. Yes, we only have two months to spend here in ISNHS, and maybe tomorrow we will soon graduate. I feel sad about it.
Third Grading Period is already over. Did I study hard? Did I do my best? Will I get a high grade or it will get low? Those are just a few questions that are in my mind. I’m busy this January because I am a dancer and we are preparing for the Longganisa Street Dancing Competition which was held last January 22, 2010. Sad to say but we did not make it to he top three, we landed fourth. Even though we were busy for the competition I still learn many things.
In research I learn about the t-test foe dependent and independent samples, chi-square and we made our thesis proposal. In Math-we learn how to fins the average rate of change. In Physics-it’s all about momentum, fluids and electronic components. In Filipino-we learn pagsasaling wika, and some chapter in the El Filibusterismo, and some short stories. In TLE-IV we learn about the font attributes and we worked on the notepad. We had some activities. Thanks to Jhun and Gimcy my group mates in workstation 1 because they are helpful. We also finished our activity in TLE; we put a background picture, layout and everything. Working in the Notepad is unfamiliar to me because I am used to Microsoft word or Excel but it is also great. The new experience is great!
There are many things to learn. And thanks to our teachers who are always there to sacrifice and many more.

Science Month Celebration.

We are now in the month of September. September is the Science month in our school Ilocos Sur National High School. Science plays an important role in our community and in our everyday living. It makes life easier and faster. We can always apply science in everything that we see and in everything that we do. There are activities of the Science Club Officers like, poster making contest, slogan, quiz bee, Mr. and Ms. Kalikasan and the winner on the said contest will be competing in the Regional Science Congress, there is also a noise barrage which we participated and luckily we won. The noise barrage is about the beautification and conservation of our school and community. We should start to make a change now! For better future. Lets help promote the cleanliness and orderliness not only in our school but also in our community. There is also a Regional Science Congress and I joined this activity. It’s about leadership and we had a seminar in Rosales Pangasinan.

BUWAN NG WIKA

Yearly we are celebrating he “Buwan ng Wika” during the month of August. The theme is “Wikang Filipino mula Luzon hanggang Baler”. The Filipino Club is the one in charge for this and they are conducting some contests like balagasan, tagisan ng talino, poster slogan, essay writing, and sayawit. Many students has participated the said contest. The winners deserved to be awarded and recognized and by the end of August they announced the winners. About the theme, our language is really our mark. It shows that we are Filipinos through this. Like for example, saying manang, manong, pinakbet and etc. they can determine those words and they know that the one using it is a Filipino. English is our global language but Tagalog is our language here in the Philippines. We should be proud to be Filipinos. We should also understand that not all Filipinos are rich and can go to school to study. At least, they know how to speak in agalog instead of English because of our state. The only ones using English Language in the Philippines are those who have graduated in college, those who are rich and have good jobs but if we’ll see our economic status the Filipinos who cannot speak are 50% and its because half of the population in the Philippines is poor. Why don’t we try Tagalog as our language? I think it can be competitive. But even though Tagalog is not our Universal Language we the Filipinos should be proud using it. Let’s use this for better communication and let us love our language. This could also be a key for a better future and it can help our country be on top. Let us remember what our National Hero said in a lyrics of a sing “ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika ay higit pa ang amoy sa malansang isda”. Let us love our own language and be proud of it.

MY TEACHER, MY HERO

“Education is the key to success” it is a beautiful saying. Students go to school to learn and study. Students also need HELP! We all know that books can help us to gain knowledge about everything that we want to know. But, it is not that effective for students to read their books. Yes, there are many ways for us to learn not only by reading books but by surfing the net and etc. But, even though there are books and internets still we cannot understand some topics. So we need a TEACHER in order for us to understand more about what is in the book. The solution to our problem is our DEAR TEACHERS. Students need help and teachers also need help. Students learn from their teachers and vice versa. A teacher is always there to help us, to teach us. They also share their knowledge about everything. In school, a teacher is our mother or father in school. They serve as our second parents because they are the one responsible for us if something bad will happen to us. Can you imagine our life without a teacher? Who will teach us? How can we understand a subject? If there are no teachers what will happen to us? Do you think we will understand a certain topic? Do you think you can graduate? There are many questions that will come out if there would be no teacher. I think being a teacher would be great because I would help them understand the topic, I will share to them my knowledge, I will be responsible for them in school, and I will touch their lives in some ways. I can also help them solve their problems and give them some advice. A teacher is my Hero because of many things. Like, a teacher has an important role in our community. They should be proud in their job. It is a difficult job but still they accepted their responsibilities and they are doing it even though their students are very “noisy”, “pasaway”, and etc. A teacher is really our Hero. They deserve to respected.

INSIGHTS!!!

We’re entering a new world again! Second Grading Period is over. It’s really fast right? It’s like it just happened yesterday. And it is the month of October that means that Intramurals is approaching.
What have I learned during the Second Grading Period? Of course I learned many things. I learned a lot and I think it will take me a year if I will enumerate it one by one.
Let’s say goodbye to the History of Internet. Now, there are new lessons to be taken. We are now entering the world of NOTEPAD! From the different tags and the html we are making codes and type it in the notepad. One thing that was nit changed during the First Grading Period was the making of our blogs and submitting drafts.
Learning’s should be treasured.

TLE

Technology & Livelihood Education focuses on providing students with theoretical background, useful classroom, and laboratory experiences that lead to the development of work skills, work ethics, love of work, self-discipline, and a sense of responsibility that will surely help them to become productive and responsible members of the family, community and society where they belong. Computer 4 with the descriptive title Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is intended to develop the knowledge and skills of the students. During the first grading period, I learned about the history of the internet,the different search engines,and blogging.
