Reflection

          ICT is one of the most interesting subjects. It gives you knowledge about computers which always loved by many. We all know that we are in a generation wherein computers are everywhere, technology is everywhere. During the last grading, I, together with my classmates, learned so many things again like in the first, second, and third quarter. I gained knowledge about the photoshop which is so interesting and fun. It was difficult but it was really fun. 

          Everyday, we cannot avoid to have challenges to come in our way. When we are learning, we cannot avoid to have challenges too. During the last quarter, I have faced so many challenges like lack of time, fear of not understanding the lectures, fear of failure, and self-doubt. I have faced many more challenges but these four were overflowing everyday so I picked them up. 

          Challenges are like problems that are so difficult to deal with. At first, I really, really doubted myself if I could do this but I just trusted myself. When challenges have faced me, I intended to overcome those head-on. I addressed my challenges not as something bad but as necessary to get something right. I addressed challenges as a subject because I learned from it. We can learn something from our challenges. Just don't run away from it, instead, overcome it. 

          Moving on, all the lessons that I have learned in this subject will be keep in my mind. For these lessons will be again in my lessons in senior high school and maybe in college also. And moving on, my teachers and my classmates, they will forever stay in my mind and my heart. I will treasure all the lessons and all the memories.

Believe

          Everyone has a dream. Most of the people always dream about their future. It is because they want to bewhat they dreamed about in the future or it is because they thought that they will not be like that so might as well dream about it. Dream is a series of thoughts, visions, or feelings that happen during sleep. It is something that you have wanted very much to do, be, or have for a long time. 

          I am a girl with so many dreams. When I was young, I dreamed to become a teacher, engineer, doctor, nurse, fashion designer, and many more. But as years passed by, my dream changed. After so many years of dreaming what I would be in the future, I finally made up my mind. I already know what I want to be in the future. It is to become a Certified Public Accountant. I used to dream about this certain job. I want to dream something new but this is making a way to be in my dream all the time. And I figured out, this must be it. And because of this dream, I always give my best in my studies even though it's hard. 

          Dream all you want because a miracle starts whenever you dream. Being able to dream is being able to believe. Being able to believe in yourself that you can do it. Believe is all that can be. And I'm claiming it. That whatever I'm dreaming about, I can achieve it with all my might in the future. I can achieve it because I believe. And because of that, I'm claiming it. That my dream will be my future.

Highlight

          Most of the students are saying that high school life is the happiest time and I agree to that. High school life is the happiest because it has more fun and less workload. This time of our lives is the time wherein we are going to the adult stage. We mature in this time of our lives and we can now make a decision that our parents will not be involve. It is because they loosen their grips a bit on the rules and we, therefore, experiment a lot during this time.

          High school life will not be complete without high school day. This event is the most awaited event of the students. For this event unites every student who are studying in a school. This year, Ilocos Sur National High School recently celebrated the 117th High School Day. It was filled with joy and laughters. From the start of the parade to the field demo where every student is to show their talent in dancing. It is a typical high school day that every student wants to have.

          High school day is a good event. It is where a relationship, a friendship to be exact, can be made. It is where socialization is held. This high school day is celebrated for us student to socialize and bring out our hidden talents. This event is enjoyable and I can say that this event is one of the highlights of our high school life.

This Is Who We Are

          Kannawidan festival is a festival in Ilocos in which showcases the heritage, tradition, culture, arts, crafts, and delicacies of Ilocos Sur. The Kannawidan, local term for traditional practice, is a festival in which it also strengthens the Ilocano culture. So, which means, that this festival must be annually celebrated in order to showcase and strengthen our Ilocano culture.

          Kannawidan is an Ilocano term meaning feast of rich heritage and culture. Due to this festival, Ilocanos have an opportunity to show all their talents and products. They show their talents through dancing, singing, sketching, and also painting. Through this festival, the tourism industry of Ilocos was enhanced or improved. It also helped to boost the demand of our products. There are also more job opportunities and livelihood opportunities. And also, more income to people were generated.

          In all these outcomes, I can say that Kannawidan Festival is not just a festival of fun, but also a festival of improving. I can say also that this is such an important and great festival for all of us Ilocanos. It is because it gives us benefits, good benefits, and it is because this is the time to reminisce our past, our culture, tradition, and to treasure it for this is our identity. This is who we are, Ilocanos.

Change And Grow

          The world is changing. Changing into something different. Something that is quite bad. It's changing so fast. From the people, technologies, education, health, cars, eating habits, dresses, and many more. It's like, we already set aside our purpose in this world which is to take care of our world. Our world is one of the most precious thing that God gave to us but we are neglecting it. From cutting off the trees which provides us shelter to make things like house, papers, pencils, and others. From throwing trashes to the rivers and oceans. From these actions, I can conclude that people are really changing. And most of us like to change these bad actions into good or better actions in order to change our world. But really, we can't change our world if you even can't change yourself.

    Change is the only thing that is permanent in this world. If we aim to change the world, we must change ourselves first. Even if changing is hard, we must learn to do it for our better future. When I mean change yourself, it's not yourself but it's your actions, bad actions. And in order to change that, we must get real with ourselves. We must take our aim into the heart in order to be successful. We must put also God in our hearts, for He is the one who can really guide and help you. Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Do not bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself. 

      Changing the world is useless if you can't even change yourself. Change starts with you. Change starts with me. Change starts with all of us people. If you want to change the world for its betterment, you must learn first how to change yourself. And that is the truth. The truth that should be done because when you change, and grow and get better, everything in your life will change and grow and get better.

          New Year's Day is a national holiday celebrated on January 1st, which is the first day of a new year. It is the time at which a new calendar year begins. This event is celebrated around the world. Most people are excited about this event because another year means fresh start, the beginning of something new and being able to change something with yourself. It is a fresh start to make new memories and decisions. It is a chance to commit to something new about yourself.

          Every time the New Year comes, it seems like the perfect time for self-improvement. But I cannot deny the fact that I've always failed what I promised during new years but again, this year, I promise myself that this time will be different. This year will be much more amazing than the previous year. This year, I would like to change something with myself. I like to focus more on to my priorities such as my studies because as we all know, this year, we will graduate from junior high school which is so amazing. I would also like to change a little bit of my attitude because I realized that I'm such a hussy to my friends, my classmates, and also to my parents. From the past years and my past experiences, I have learned things specially in the aspects of life itself, which made me realized to act accordingly and responsibly. That is why I came up with ideas which are now made into my promises.

          New Year is like a new book, every page is blank. We are the ones who will be going to put words on them. We are like authors in our everyday lives. You are the author of your own life and I'm the author of my own. And this year, I will give my best shot and I will be the author like no other. I only live my life once so might as well try new things, make so much memories, and try to make a new version of me.

ICT is one of the most interesting subjects. It gives you knowledge about computers which always loved by many. We all know that we are in a generation wherein computers are everywhere, technology is everywhere. During the third grading, I, together with my classmates, learned so many things again like in the first and second quarter. I gained knowledge about the web design which is so interesting and fun. It was difficult but it was really fun.

Everyday, we cannot avoid to have challenges to come in our way. When we are learning, we cannot avoid to have challenges too. During the third quarter, I have faced so many challenges like lack of time, fear of not understanding the lectures, fear of failure, and self-doubt. I have faced many more challenges but these four were overflowing everyday so I picked them up.

Challenges are like problems that are so difficult to deal with. At first, I really, really doubted myself if I could do this but I just trusted myself. When challenges have faced me, I intended to overcome those head-on. I addressed my challenges not as something bad but as necessary to get something right. I addressed challenges as a subject because I learned from it. We can learn something from our challenges. Just don't run away from it, instead, overcome it.

Moving on, I will be much more active and lively. I will give my 100% effort to this subject for the next 2 months. I will study harder. I will trust myself more. I will not doubt myself anymore. I will help myself to learn more. I will overcome the challenges that will be on my way and lastly, I will pass this subject with a smile.
