A Teacher's Unending Journey

The corner of the room was filled with letters, balloons, gifts and memories. Each smile and the rhythm of music as they sang a  cheerful song that had brought me back to hundredfold of vintage memory hanging up on my mind. The passion burning inside never fades out, the eagerness to teach never falters.
From the month of September until the 5th month of October, we are already celebrating the teacher's day. It was a blurry afternoon when I saw a students running down the busy hallways, racing as if they were being chased by something--catching their breaths just to carry the handful things on my  arms. I sat down, greeted them, taught them their new lesson--the bell rang. The class ended with a very satisfied and contented look on their eyes.
The cooking and  washing of dishes--Ah! Housewife duties. Crying baby filling each corner of the room--Mommy duties! The papers. brown papers, marker and my class record awaits for me. My work never ends here, it's a continuous cycle--Unending journey with bagful eye bags and with my callous hands.
It was never easy, it was tough. It was never a burden, it was a blessing. Hardships were all worth it. It was never easy to fight on your dreams. It was never easy to get the license. It's a vintage memory--the pen that I was holding back then, now, I am holding my certificate  an license with me. My school supplies were turned into technologies that would help me to teach my students. A teacher never  gets tired of doing her passion, she never sees her "paper works" as stress. but somehow, they see it as a blessing; for it is a sign that each day, you are given a chance to be productive and to make a difference.
This is a teacher's unending journey. Today, let's thank them  for doing their very best to  impart knowledge to their students. Happy Teacher's day, our bravest Warriors! Thank you!

Until then, ISNHS

It has been the highlight of each high school student to show off and to be acknowledged by their talents, performances, skills, artistry and individuality.
Celebration of Intramurals is the most awaited event for  a student like me. Sports, dance ports, parties and most of all, fun. All of us deserves a break after a stressful day.  During this event, we, students are encouraged to be an audience and to watch all events like volleyball,  dance port, basketball, badminton and other several sports. The clubs prepared some booths to entertain the  students. They were given three  days to operate their booths.  It's a great success because we gained and to see other students's smile  is priceless. The joy and contentment in their eyes sparkles in pure bliss. It was fun and I had fun because we had time with my fellow officers to talk and to be more close with each other.
Developing your physical aspect is important but improving your character should be your number one priority. On  my last year as a junior high school student, I collected and  kept all  memories from the past years of intramurals. The experience had been so different. The joy ,  the freedom--It's all I could  ask for. You never failed me ISNHS. Thank  you.
Running own   along the hallway of Ilocos Sur National  High School,  As I  sat on a singing
band on the tambayan as they happily  jive in on the rhythm of music, the craft and skills that they showcased--It was all possible.

Nature's Month of Celebration

As I sat at the blue turquoise ocean, the waves rushes towards me. They are coming for me. The cold breeze and the shadows  under the coconut tree, the scorching sun that warms my feeling. I had seen the preservation and conservation. The seashells and the  sand that suits the palette of the sea  comforts me.

Our environment began in a paradise. A safe haven for each individual,  a treasure that gives us the greatest pleasure and lives with us. The trees, animals in the wild, the chirping of birds and the sound of nature calms our souls. The fresh air that we breathe, the chill breeze during the cold night and the rain that follows what I am  feeling. The stars that shines so bright and the moon that gives us light on the  darkest night. This was paradise.

On this modern world, people became worst. We took advantage of our nature's kindness. The resources that we had, the abundant variety of fishes on the ocean and the fruit bearing trees that became  a part of our childhood were snatched away from us. Our surroundings became dirty and worst, it became a complete disaster. 

People's  actions reflects on how  nature respond to our  calling.Thunders, landslides, flood, numerous earthquake, global warming and  climate  change. It feels like these are already part of our life. No one had took this seriously for they do not care about our future generation. They do not think of the future generations that will suffer because of our actions. We don't mind if this will totally break and thrive us.  People seems to neglect our nature. Leaving her helpless and forsaken.

Our school has this Science Month Celebration that targets the youth to  be a steward of our nature. We are all  aware of what our environment is suffering right now.  Through this, we can spread awareness to every young people specially on  our school  by conducting activities such as the battle of the bottles where the students collects bottles and transform them into a useful material that we can use. By doing this simple step,  we are now raising awareness, improving the skills of the citizens and also empowering young minds that even though they are still  young, they are a big help  in saving our environment.

Together, let us all make a difference. Plant a tree, ride a bike,  be stronger don't falter, together we shall stand.

Happy School,Happy Soul!

The earth revolves, as well as people. In our world, depression, anxiety and sadness is very evident. How could we contribute to target and aim every young mind's mental health?

Our school our community has this activity which is the Happy Schools Movement. It aims to help each student to slowly accept their differences, flaws and talents, It allows each child to communicate, socialize and to step out of their comfort zone. Depression is rampant nowadays and we are all aware of that. Depression had gone too far and we can't control it anymore. It's hard to know every child's emotions for they mastered masking up their true emotions, keeping and coping up with their problems on their own.

Ilocos Sur National High School, our home and refuge joined in the conduct of Happy Schools Movement as they focus on every student's mental, physical, emotional and social health. This aims to give encouragements to students who are undergoing pains, abuse and disease called overthinking. It gives refreshment to a child's soul as they undergo joyful activities.

The world has its own unique phase, shape and art. Humans has their own understanding about life. Our school, it's our second home, our refuge and strength. In this happy schools movement, may we support hand in hand this event. For I believe that a happy school, has a lot of happy souls that will celebrate!
