Reflection Third Quarter


HAS COME TO AN END



   

  The third quarter has been quite challenging, but it's also been filled with some of the happiest moments and many cherished memories. As we sped through our lessons on a fast track, the pace of learning was stressful, yet demanding. However, as the quarter drew to a close, we were go through with a particularly stressful week, especially before our Periodical Test. Being part of a special class, I've got used to handle such intense weeks, which I believe will prepare me well for senior high school. I see this as a valuable experience that will help me in the future challenges with more ease.


    Throughout this quarter, I've learned a great deal, both in terms of academic lessons and in nurturing my friendships. The lessons taught in class were invaluable, providing me with knowledge and skills that I know will serve me well in the future. But equally important were the friendships I've cultivated. During the tough times, my friends were there to support me, and together, we've grown even closer. These friendships have taught me the importance of loyalty and the strength that comes from facing challenges together. Reflecting on the past few months, I realize that  it hasn't been easy, every challenges has brought its own set of lessons and opportunities for growth. Even during the most stressful moments, I've found reasons to smile and create lasting memories. This quarter has taught me resilience, adaptability, and the power of positivity in the face of circumstances. As I prepare to move forward into the next phase of my academic journey, I carry with me the lessons I learned and the bonds formed during this memorable quarter.






  Looking ahead, I feel a sense of readiness to tackle whatever challenges  comes to  my way. The experiences of this quarter have prepared me with the lessons and confidence needed to discover the unknown. I'm grateful for the highs and lows, as they have all contributed to shape me into a stronger and more better individual. Because despite all demanding  school works that was given by some of our  teachers. I'm here today, smiling knowing that I'am stressed enough to give up, but I chose not to. With the support of my friends and the lessons I learned. I'm excited to see what the future holds and to continue growing both academically and personally.

Community-Based Research


CAOAYAN URBAN LEGENDS
    

Our Community-Based   Research on urban legends In Baggoc and Manangat, barangay's in Caoayan, Ilocos Sur, it has been an interesting journey. We've been talking to locals who know these stories, and it's really sparked our curiosity. Even if some of the tales seem unbelievable, they're still an important part of our culture, and that's what makes them intriguing. The excitement of knowing these stories is like finding hidden treasures in our own backyard. Interviewing people who have experienced these urban legends  has been eye-opening. They tell their stories with such passion and detail, making us want to learn more. Even if we're not  sure about the truth behind every tale, it's still  intriguing to hear them and understand what they mean to those who share them.


     
     During our Community-Based Research on local urban legends, we had a really great experience that we won't forget. We met an older lady who had a fantastic story to share about a mysterious figure that supposedly roamed our town at night. Her storytelling was so good, and it felt like we were right there with her, experiencing the suspense and excitement . We all listened intently, hanging on to every word she said. What made this experience even better was how it brought our research team closer together. As we discussed the lady's story and the other interviewees , we felt a strong sense of unity and shared purpose. We realized that we were all on this journey together, uncovering the mysteries of our community's past. It was a moment of connection and excitement that bonded us as a team. Exploring these urban legends has helped us understand our community better. They're like pieces of a puzzle that help us see who we are. Even though they're just stories, they play a big role in our culture, and we're glad to delve into them. As we continue our research, we're excited to uncover more hidden gems within our community's folklore. Each story adds a new layer to our understanding of our identity and history. Even if some of these legends seem unbelievable.


    This experience showed us the importance of preserving and sharing these urban legends within our community. They're not just stories; they're a part of our heritage and identity. By documenting them, we're keeping our history alive for future generations to learn from and enjoy. It was a reminder of the power of storytelling to bring people together and strengthen our sense of belonging. In a modern world, these urban legends remind us of the wonder and mystery that still exist. They may be hard to believe, but they're part of what makes our community unique. We're grateful for the chance to explore them and learn from the rich variety of stories that make up our cultural and beliefs.

Babae Kami, Hindi Basta Babae Lang!


   National Women's Month is a time when we honor and recognize the incredible achievements of women throughout history. It's like a huge celebration where we shine a spotlight on the amazing things women have accomplished, from breaking barriers in male-dominated fields to advocating for equal rights and opportunities. This month is a chance for us to say a big "thank you" to all the women who have made a difference in our lives and in the world.



  During National Women's Month, we reflect on the important roles that women have played in shaping our society and culture. From ancient civilizations to modern times, women have been leaders, innovators, and changemakers in every aspect of life. Whether it's in science, politics, arts, or business, women have left their mark and continue to inspire us with their resilience and determination.

   Moreover, National Women's Month serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for gender equality. Despite the progress that has been made, women still face many challenges, including discrimination, harassment, and unequal opportunities. This month is not only about celebrating the achievements of women but also about raising awareness of the issues they continue to face and advocating for a more inclusive and equitable society. Together, let's use National Women's Month as a platform to empower women, support their aspirations, and work towards a future where every woman has the opportunity to thrive and succeed.

122nd Foundation Day Of ISNHS

 


On Saturday, March 9. I have to wake up very early because we have a school event. It's our school's 122nd foundation day at Ilocos Sur National High School. It is a tradition of this school to celebrate this every year, and every student per grade level will prepare a performance because there will be a contest per grade level. At 5:40 am in the morning, I arrived at school, and some of my classmates were almost done. At 6:30 am, the assembly will begin, and at 7:30 we will have a parade around the Vigan.. It was my first time to experience this kind of high school day because last year we didn't experience this kind of celebration due to the threat of COVID-19. The feeling of walking with your whole class makes me feel that pride in holding our banner with the name of our section on it. It was tiring walking around Vigan up to our school, but honestly, I enjoyed it. After the parade, we return to our classroom to take some rest, eat a merienda, and also prepare for our field demo.


At 9:30 am, we go to the field, and the wait is over because this is the moment we are waiting for, the moment we have prepared for. The field was full of yells and noises. We are so happy yet so nervous because we are watching other grade levels who have the dedication to win. This is it; it's our turn to dance, and we do it with all our hearts and all we can do. After our turn, the field demo is done, and it's time to announce the winners. Honestly speaking, we are not expecting that we are going to be the champion, and so for the boys, that is why, after that, we return to our classroom immediately. And they announced that the boys in grade 10 won, while the girls in grade 10 only garnered 3rd place. Some rumors said it was embarrassing that other lower grade levels fought us, but that's not the point; the important thing is that we enjoyed and danced with what we could do. All we need is to accept that, and we should be happy. At 2 p.m., there will be a "Concert for a Cost" that will be held at the school's gymnasium. We arrived early in the gym so that our seats would be in front because we would like to show support to our classmates who're part of the concert; in short, they're going to perform. We don't expect that the flow of the concert will be that good. The teacher and other students show their talents in singing; actually, they're so good and well performed. The vibe of the concert hits different for us, Gen Z, because we can relate to the songs that they're singing. The majority said it was the first time Ilocos Sur National High School held a concert, and guess what? It was the most memorable and best Foundation Day ever.


The Ilocos Sur National High School 122nd Foundation Day was a day well spent. We are so blessed and happy to experience this kind of celebration. There are many talents that are shown through dancing and singing. Full of memories. I hope next year that the foundation day will be this successful. I'm sure that all students really enjoy and have fun on this day.
