The Most Selfless Human Beings

Chalkboard Art  Quote for Teachers  by ToSuchAsTheseDesignsSchool is our second home. Teachers are our second parents. And they are heroes without capes. 



The Influence of a Good Teacher can Never Be Erased quote | EtsyTeaching is the most influential job in the world. They shape the minds of youth and imparts good value in children. With the help of teachers, children turns into responsible citizens. Imagine the sacrifices and hard works of every teacher just to teach the students while some students don't listen and hate their teachers for being strict and terror. Imagine the time they spend just to teach students. Yes, they are being paid. But for them, teaching is more than a job. Teaching is what makes them happy. Inspiring people and molding students is their mission. They teach students even though students do not appreciate their efforts. 

Teacher Appreciation Gift. A good teacher is like a candle it consumes itself to light the way for others.
A chance to thank our teachers is during the Teachers' Month Celebration held during the month of October. During this celebration, teachers had the chance to relax and be stress-free. In our school, ISNHS, a concert was held during the school-based celebration of Teachers' Day. Teachers showed off their skills and talents and proved that they are not just good at teaching. Then, students surprised their teachers using different ways. Some blindfolded them, some brought cake and flowers, some sang, some wrote letters and some just greeted their teachers a 'Happy Teachers' Day'. Teachers were very happy during this day. They felt real happiness and felt that their efforts are very appreciated. 

 As students, let us do our responsibility in listening and appreciating our teachers. Let us consider that our teachers are also humans. They have families and other responsibilities but still have the time to teach us. Let us also thank them for the learning, teaching and for listening to us. Our teachers are our heroes without capes because just like superman and batman, they teach and save us without thinking about themselves. In short, teachers are the most selfless human beings. Am I right?

One of the most awaited events for every student of Ilocos Sur National High School is the Intramurals especially to those who love sports and those who love watching sports. A parade was held to formally open the Intramurals and after it a program was done at the Gymnasium. During the Intramurals, different sports are being played by the students.

These sports help in developing the mental, social, and physical health of the students. They also develop camaraderie and sportsmanship, and develop the skills and talents of every student. 
Another fun part was the fundraising activity of every club wherein each club created a booth for the students. Some of the booths were the ChemLock, PhotoBooth, Marriage Booth, Message Booth and Blind Date Booth. Students had a chance to express what they really feel through these booths. Students also enjoyed and had fun for a short while during the Intramurals. 

On my last year as a junior high school, I can say that I really enjoyed this year's Intramurals because I had joined the fun bike activity and also I had felt real happiness during the Intramurals. The efforts of the MAPEH Club, teachers, athletes, and the support of the teachers and principal are very much appreciated.
To all student athletes, a big salute to all of you.

A place where we live. A place where we breath and live life to the fullest. But without it, what will happen to us? Of course, we die. We all know that we die when the Earth dies. But, what are we still doing? Why are we still destroying instead of preserving and protecting it? 

Image result for environment picturesThe Science Month Celebration is a great way to spread awareness to every people especially students of what is happening to the environment nowadays. Activities such as coastal clean up, battle of bottles, tree planting, quiz bee, and many more are implemented during the celebration. Through these, students are getting aware of what is happening. It also improves the skills and talents of the students through these activities such as quiz bee, sci-tricks, and other. The highlight of the Science Month Celebration is the "Ginoo at Binibining Kalikasan" where contestants serve as an example and role models to their fellow students. By teaching the students on keeping the environment clean, we can bring back our nature.

People is the reason why the environment is being destroyed. But people can also be the reason why the environment will be better. Let us be part of the solution and not a part of the pollution. The Earth is all that we have. As time goes by, Earth is being destroyed and one day, if we don't move, Earth will be gone. The Earth we used to live on will be forever gone. And without it, we will die. We can't have a family, we can't have our dream house, car, and work.  And if no one will make a move, then who will? If not now, then when? If we really want to protect the earth, why not do it now? Are we gonna regret if things are too late? Tick-tock-tick-tock.

Students: Hope and Future Leaders

Eat. Sleep. Study. Repeat.


As time goes by, students see the school as a jail, the classes are the cells, teachers are the security guards and students are the prisoners. According to them, school isn't about learning anymore. It's all about memorizing and plainly listening. That's why, the Department of Education (DepEd) thought of a way to inspire the students to study hard.

The Department of Education (DepEd)-Region I had launched the "Happy Schools Movement" held at the Vigan Convention Center on May 20,2019. Happy Schools Movement is a movement which advocates to promote that every school should be a better and enjoyable place for students to learn. Schools should be a child-friendly place where students isn't afraid to express themselves. It is also in line with the Child Protection Policy Act of 2012 known as protecting children and students from abuse, violence, bullying, discrimination, exploitation and other forms of abuse. The movement also aims to implant in the minds of students that school is not just a place for learning but also a place of fun and enjoying what they are doing. A positive school climate can help decrease bullying, discrimination, and anxiety and likewise increase students' achievements and motivation to learn and improve their well-being. 

Image result for graduates silhouetteDr. Malcolm Garma said,"Happiness and school quality are inseparable as the happy schools framework serves as reference for measuring the quality of our education." Our school children now will soon rule the future. That's why we need to help them in becoming leaders with happiness in their thoughts, works, and actions. "The youth is the hope of our country," Doctor Jose Rizal once said. If this happens, no children will be left behind and what a wonderful and fun world it would be for everyone.

Language Of Peace


Doctor Jose Rizal once said, "He who does not love his his own language is worse than an animal and smelly fish." Teenagers nowadays are more interested in foreign languages more than our own language. They are learning on how to speak Korean, French, Latin and many more but when you ask and tell them deep Filipino words,they are not familiar with them. Doctor Jose Rizal also said that the youth is the hope of our future. But what is happening right now? Are the youth still our hope?

One of the annual celebration in the Philippines is the Buwan ng Wika (National Language Month) that is held every August. It is initiated by the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF). The official theme for the 2019 Buwan ng Wika Celebration is "Wikang Katutubo: Tungo sa Isang Bansang Pilipino". The significance of the theme is to remind the people that Filipino and other native languages are very important in creating a country where people understand each other. Projects, programs and activities that are connected in developing and preservation of Filipino language and other native languages in the country are being implemented during this month. 

Language is one of the intangible heritage of a place. You can know the identity, tradition, literature and culture of a place based on their language. According to the KWF, there are 130 dialects in the country. The theme also tells us that we should know and use our own languages instead of focusing on other languages.Within the month of August, various Filipino-related activities such as simultaneous pronunciation, poetry, essay writing competitions, slogan creations, and other folk performances are held. Hence, Buwan ng Wika is more than just a celebration and promotion of Filipinos. It also highlights the appreciation of the country's rich cultural diversity as well as the collaboration among government agencies and private sectors for language identity and civic awareness.

We should learn how to use and preserve our Filipino language and other native languages. People around the world will know who we are basing on our language that's why we should be proud of them. Pass them to the next generations. Love your country, love your language. Now, I want to challenge you. Stand up, chin up and breast out. Go out. And tell to the world that you're a Filipino and you live in the Philippines.

Obstacle Course

In life, we  never stop learning new things.
reflections photography tutorial
We sleep. Wake up. Eat. Learn. Repeat.


In my first three months as a Grade 10 student, I've learned and gained many things and ideas. Even though it is my first time to study Electronics, I got to understand the lessons and got interested to learn more. I also learned more techniques and improved my poor Mathematics skills. My writing and talking skills improved because of the lessons in our English subject. My creativity and critical-thinking skills improved also. In other subjects, I've gained new knowledge and learned a lot. I can also say that my self confidence improved too.

If there are learning, problems are also there. While learning and improving for the better, problems and challenges arise. For example, in our English subject, I need to face my greatest fear, which is talking and speaking in front of many people. We need to do a two minutes persuasive speech in front of the whole class. I cannot escape it because it is a part of our first periodical assessment. Most of the problems that I've encountered have something to do with my talking and speaking skills.

How did I overcome these challenges? Simply because I have a goal. If you have a goal, and if you are focused, you can overcome every little challenge that will come to your way. I faced my greatest fear and talked in front of my class for two minutes. I am nervous and shy at the same time, but I trusted in Him and in myself that's why I finally faced it.


Moving on I will accept every challenge and take the risks in order for me to grow up. Committing mistakes makes us a better person. Facing every challenges makes us strong. As Cinderella said, "A dream is a wish your heart makes." If you have a dream, you will reach for it no matter what because it is what your heart wants. And Walt Disney said that if you can dream it, you can achieve it.



To my fellow believers and fellow dreamers, chin up, eyes front and focus on your goal.
