The 124th Anniversary of ISNHS: A Magical Disney Celebration

Image
The 124th Anniversary of Ilocos Sur National High School (ISNHS) is an important annual celebration that honors the school’s long history and achievements. It is a special event where students, teachers, and staff come together to celebrate the foundation of the school and its contribution to education. This year’s celebration was even more exciting because the theme was Disney. The theme of the field demonstration dance was Disney characters, which made the performances colorful, lively, and enjoyable for everyone. Before the main event, students spent several days practicing for the field demonstration. Each group worked hard to perfect their dance steps, formations, and timing. The practices were tiring but also fun because we were preparing to perform in front of many people during the anniversary celebration. Aside from practicing, students were also busy making props that would be used during the parade and the field demonstration. These props were inspired by different Disney ch...

My ICT and Last Quarter of Journey JHS

Image
This school year, I learned a lot, especially in ICT (Information and Communications Technology). ICT helped me understand how to make blogs, use codes to create new styles, and organize content through a sitemap. These skills made my learning more interactive and gave me the tools to present ideas in a more creative and organized way. My 4th quarter experience was a mix of emotions—exciting yet a little sad. I felt excited because graduation is coming soon, marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. It’s a time to celebrate our accomplishments and hard work as students. However, I also felt a bit sad because after graduation, we may no longer be classmates. The friendships and memories we shared in class will be missed. It’s hard to imagine going separate ways after spending so much time learning, laughing, and growing together. Despite the mixed emotions, I am grateful for all the experiences this quarter brought. Learning how to make blogs, code for new styles, and...

Celebrating Strength and Empowerment: National Women’s Month

March is celebrated as National Women’s Month, a time to honor the achievements, strength, and contributions of women in society. It is a month dedicated to recognizing women who have played important roles in communities, families, and the nation. Schools and organizations conduct programs to highlight women’s leadership and advocate for gender equality. In our school, activities for this celebration included discussions, presentations, and awareness campaigns. These activities allowed students to understand the importance of respecting women and acknowledging their contributions to society. It was inspiring to see how women continue to shape the future through their dedication and resilience. This celebration also encouraged students to reflect on the women around us—our mothers, teachers, sisters, and friends—who constantly guide, support, and inspire us. By acknowledging their efforts, we learn to appreciate and respect their sacrifices and achievements. National Women’s Month is m...

Dreaming Big: My Future as a Statistician

Image
Everyone has dreams for their future, and these dreams help guide us in life. As students, we study hard because we want to achieve our goals someday. Dreams give us motivation to continue learning and improving ourselves. My dream is to become a statistician in the future. A statistician works with numbers, data, and information to analyze patterns and make conclusions. This career is important because statistics help people understand information and make better decisions in fields such as business, science, and government. To achieve this dream, I know that I need to work hard in my studies, especially in mathematics and statistics. These subjects may be challenging, but they are also very interesting because they help explain how numbers and data work in real life. I believe that education is the key to reaching my goals. By staying focused and determined, I can continue learning the skills and knowledge needed for my future career. Even if there are challenges along the way, I wil...

It is a special occasion where people show how much they care for their family, friends, and loved ones. In our school, Valentine’s Day was very fun and memorable. Many students were giving flowers and greeting each other with smiles. The atmosphere was full of happiness because everyone was celebrating love and friendship in different ways.   One of the moments that made my Valentine’s Day special was when my friend and I exchanged flowers. It was a simple gesture, but it showed how much we value our friendship. Sometimes, small acts like giving flowers can make someone’s day brighter. Another surprise happened when another friend also gave me flowers. I did not expect it, so I felt very happy and thankful. It reminded me that Valentine’s Day is not only about romantic relationships but al...

T he Longganisa Festival of Vigan is one of the most exciting and colorful celebrations I’ve ever experienced. It is held every January to honor Vigan’s famous longganisa and to give tribute to its patron saint, St. Paul. The festival shows the deep connection between food, faith, and culture in the city. The streets come alive with decorations, music, and people from different places who come to join the fun. One of the highlights of my trip was watching the street dance competition. Different groups performed lively dances while wearing bright and creative costumes. They danced along the streets, and everyone cheered for their favorite performers. The energy of the crowd and the rhythm of the music made the whole experience unforgettable. Another exciting part was the showdown competition. The groups competed on a main stage and performed their best routines. Each performance told a story about Vigan’s culture, history, and devotion. I was amazed by their coordination, creativity, an...
