MY DREAM, MY FUTURE

I am a young girl with big dreams in life.

As U grow old, my journey continues until I can attain all my dreams.

Every people have dreams in life for fulfillment. Dreams make every person stronger for as they attain it, they will encounter problems or trials.

Soon, I will be graduating and leaving my beloved Alma Mater and enter a new stage of my life-COLLEGE. I would choose my own course that leads my interest. As I pursue it, I know I am on my path to achieving my BIGGEST DREAM and it is being a REGISTERED NURSE. People would always ask, "Why are you choosing Nursing?" "Are you sure of that course?" or some may ask "Aren't you afraid of blood?" Since I was still a child, to become a nurse was already my ambition. It is because I really want to and I see that I have a passion on it.

My mother is a nurse and she has inspired me without her knowing. She had helped other people needing her service and care. I want to help and serve other people. And that is what I am going to do.

I could see my future working here in the country but I will also go tour around the world. I want to see the beauty of other places.

I will always put in mind the Ilocos Sur National High School's battle cry: "Aim high, Fly, Soar."

CHANGE: It Starts With Me

Life is too short and changes continue to happen in our lives and in the surrounding.

Young as I am, my eyes are open to the responsibilities attached on being a steward of God's creations. I am also aware of the consequences that may occur of whatever I do.

Everyone has been given a task to oversee and act for the changes that we encounter today. I know I can do something and I will never resist on doing that something!

I want to change the world-- A BETTER WORLD for all the people to live.

I can do SIMPLE THINGS with BIG MEANINGS!!

One is I can be the ROLE MODEL that other youngsters may follow. I will DISCIPLINE myself to do my job well. DISCIPLINE is the first thing needed to success. I will encourage the teenagers to do good like throwing their trash on the proper place. I will plant more trees in our home and in the community.

We do some CHANGE! We can CHANGE the World. Let us all work hand in hand for the betterment of our places for the next generations..

New Treasures

The Third Grading period has again ended we are already about to enter the last grading of our last year in school. This fact is making me sad and excited for the time really moves so fast. This realization made me reminisce about what had happened to me last grading.

Last grading, I learned about the Microsoft FrontPage- how it works and how it can be used. Using Microsoft FrontPage, we designed our own web pages on the Community Based Project. It was so nice experimenting on this and we let pur imagination and creativity to work. We had posted some of our articles on our own blogs as what we always do. We had posted about the essence of Christmas and that was really a good topic.

I did not encounter too much problems during last grading. It's only the difficulty for encountering new topic. It was just new to me. And another problem I had is when my mom left us to go abroad and work. That was so sad, specially she was not with us during Christmas and New Year.

Well, this grading became exciting and another memories and learning to treasure. I know these learning can be used for the future.

TRUE ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS

Christmas is nearly coming.. It can now be felt through the Christmas lights that can be seen outside the houses, the chrismas decorations around and through the cold breeze of wind. People are getting excited about Christmas. They are now doing preparations for them to be ready on December 25. But what is really the true essence of christmas? How can we celebrate it in a special way?

For me, Christmas is one of the most special occasion to celebrate. It is the time to reunite or to be with your love ones. For nine days, from the dawn of December 26 to December 25 we are attending the Misa de Gallo to welcome the birth of Christ. One of its true essence of celebrating Christmas is remembering the birth of Jesus Christ our Savior. It is the best tine to thank him for everything he has done especially for giving his life for our safety. We can also spread the good news of the Lord by doing good. Giving... and Sharing... These two are another essence of Christmas. We must not think of how expensive the gift is but the most important is the value of the gift and the one who give. People now do sometimes expect for material things, and they forget about the real perpose of gift giving.

One thing we can do is to do good in our own community. It is one of the best way to celebrate Christmas-by giving a helping hand. We can share our time so we can be aware of the problems that our community is facing. We can help in beautifying our locality and we can start it in our own houses. We can also give things taht we have to people in need-- food, dresses, and even toys for the children. In these ways, we can make them happy.

But one thing is for sure-- LOVE is the best gift we can give and share to everyone-- to our family, relatives, friends, even enemies,to our community and to our Mother Earth..

Let us not forget the real essence of Christmas..!!

Struggles

We are already in the month of December and Christmas is really fast approaching. Feeling the breeze of Christmas made me reminisce about my experiences this school year.
There were good incidents that happened but still it can never go without the bad incidents.
There were lot of activities that sometimes you have to choose. These activities have good memories that I will cherish forever. There were so many things that happened---contests, seminars and trainings that gave me new learning and let me met new friends.
Scouting and leadership were the best part for me. Leadership abilities and camaraderie were best developed through it all.
There were also lots of changes that happened in an unexpected time---My honor went down... And I lost my best friend...
Well, everything was just a apart of life.
For the month of November, it was the Filipino-Values Education Month and the theme was " Pagpapatibay ng Pagkataong Pilipino Tugon Sa Hamon ng Panahon."
We must strengthen our own Filipino values through the challenges of life. We should give our best effort and believe that whatever comes to our lives, we will always conquer it. Developing and preserving our values should be kept in our minds.
We, the Filipinos are known for being lively and happy despite of the trials we face. Even though we have problems, we still see the good side of life. That is how positive we are! We are also known for being hospitable. We accept our visitors and served them in good ways.
We may encounter changes, but we should embrace and take it as part of everything.. :'>

Discovering Again New Things

Time passed and moved so fast, that I didn't even notice that everything around me had already changed.

The Second Grading was about to end but the new knowledge and learnings will stay on my mind.

In this grading, I learned about the HTML and working on the Notepad. And still we continued to post on our own blogs, the topic were about the Filipino month, Science month and Teachers' month. The topics were all interesting , especially the last one.

At first I had a dilemma in working on the Notepad for it was new to me. I became interested about it because it was about creating soon a web page. I really wanted to learn and maybe master those things. It was really hard for me to make my post and activities for I didn't have much time.

Time management was the first solution and then the mastery and learning more. It was good that I learn new things.

This things can be applied in the near future and I am excited for the next gradings to come. For I know I will be learning more again.

My Teacher, My Hero!

"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence sopts."

Without them, there would be no professionals in the world or even there would be no great student. Do you know who these great people are? I am referring to the TEACHERS. Teachers are our second parents, sometimes our friends and our molders.

There is this someone-a teacher who really inspires me most but of course every teacher do inspireme. she made me salute all the teachers. I am talking about my mother who is a teacher. She always wake-up early to prepare for us, even though she was tired the other night then she will prepare herself to go to school and inspire her students. She always do her best to teach, help and mold her students. she always teel me that education or learnings is not always found inside the school but even outside it. that is why, she always supports me of what I do as long as it can help and benefit me. She always works at school professionally even though she is thinking about so many things. That made me think on how she could manage to do so. Maybe, she needs to or she really loves her work. That is why I am thankful that I have her.

Sometimes, it made me think that I don't want to be a teacher not because I don't want to but because I know that I can't do the same job or either I know it's hard.

I always thank all the teachers for the knowledge they had shared and the learnings they had given. Thank You! Thank You!

Teachers are all heroes!!
My Teacher!! My Hero!!
