Sometimes my head is aching when I am thinking of the course that I am going to take up. It takes too many days to decide. As the days pass by, I have already made up my mind to take up teaching profession.
But why did I choose this course? First, it is the field of my interest. Second, I would like to help the less fortunate people in order to survive. And this will serve as my vision and mission in life. Lastly, I just want to follow the footstep of my mother. I believe that my dream would be of great help to many people. And of course, to fulfill my ambition, I need to follow a series of steps. And these are the simple steps. Set your goal/desire, do not make shortcuts, discernment, and prayer and be happy. Let us not waste the time. Every second counts. The fulfillment of our dream depends on us. Always be alert and strong in facing challenges. So that we will surpass the challenges in our life. For me, I will sacrifice all that I have in order to attain my goal. I know that it is not easy, but I will prove to myself that my decision will not mislead me. And I strongly believe that my dream will be my life in the future.
Our dream symbolizes the future. And the series of steps also symbolizes our effort in executing it very well. Therefore if we’re going to add it, the result will be the fulfillment of our dreams successfully. And these will serve as our status or outstanding in the future.

Change: It Starts With Me
Nowadays, our country is facing from many difficulties. First, poverty next wrath and fury of our environment, crimes, political conflicts, global crisis and others. And we are greatly affected by these problems that we're suffering. Is there a solution for these obstacles in our country?
The first thing that came out to my mind was "are the government officials are working very well for the progress, unity, and success of their fellow citizens and for the nation?" By and by I learned to realize that we should not just blame them. Because you and I are part of this institution. So we have to do something for the betterment of each one of us. As a youth, I can contribute an improvement to my fatherland by all means of studying very well. I believe that this is one of the most important thing that we can render to our nation. We should also serve as a good role model to our fellow youths by not using drugs, by not destroying the nature, not committing or doing any crimes. To sum it up let us involve our self to any activity that would develop our own personality and good character. Finally,dependence on God. "Cast your cares on the Lord, he will sustain you, he will never let the righteous fall" (Psalm 55:22). Believe in the power of the Lord. He controls the world. Let us not forget to pray for ourselves, our fellowmen, and our nation to have a better place today and tomorrow.
We need a change. Change that will improve the lives of every Filipino. And the change begins with us. Let's grab this opportunity before it's too late.

Reflection
“Believe in the power of your dreams.” This was the quote I kept in my mind before the beginning of the Third Grading Period. I anticipated it because I was expecting that there will be a lot of activities, challenges, and hardships this third quarter.
Microsoft Office Frontpage. This was our main study for the Third Grading Period. What is your perspective if you hear these words? For the first time I heard it, I felt nervous, and I directly tell to myself that “I cannot do the job.” But believe me, when I was given the chance to do it, I just smiled. A smile full of excitement and happiness. Well, I think I performed much better this grading period. As they quote “the farther the better.” Honestly speaking, I did not encounter any problem, unlike for the past grading periods. I can now easily catch up and follow our lessons. It’s so great.
For this last but definitely not the least grading period I will try my best to maintain the good effect of the power of my dreams. A dream that will never fail or fade away and will fulfill the best of my ability. And proving on I will listen carefully, double my effort as what like I did last grading period, and most importantly I will never forget to ask guidance to our Lord to direct my mind in doing right. I can do it.

" Christmas....Christmas Time is Near"
Do you feel different this month? Have you noticed the shining stars above the sky and the cool wind? How about the bright Christmas trees and Christmas lanterns? And of course, are you aware of the little children, some of the youth, and even the senior citizen caroling from house to house? Yes, these are the signs of Christmas season-the most awaited part of the year.
" Every day is a Christmas Day," this is one of the most popular quotes all over the world. According to the Bible, there is no exact date when Jesus Christ is born. But we, the Filipinos are traditionally celebrating the Christmas on every 25th day of December. In addition to this, we cannot remove it from our culture and to every mind of all the Filipinos, because we are baptized and grown up with this kind of occasion. So above all, what are the really essence of celebrating Christmas? For me, we can internalize the message of Christmas by giving or sharing what we have to the miserable ones with all your heart, mind and soul. We can also feel the the true essence of Christmas by showing your care, understanding, attention, and most especially your love to your fellowmen.
Be real to yourself, we should not only show these traits or feelings during the Christmas season but also to the rest of our life for the betterment of yourself, your fellowmen, for the motherland and to our Creator/Savior. I wish that we will all enjoy this Christmas season to the fullest level and I hope it will leave a very momentous experience.

GSP Encampment
The Girls in Green Uniform are very active, and always there to give their ultimate service to everyone who are in need of help. Yes, we the Girls Scouts of Ilocos Sur National High School are ready to face the challenges of life.
Last November 19-22, 2009, was the 39th Senior Scout Provincial Encampment held at CPC Campsite Pug-os Cabugao Ilocos Sur with the theme "Mother's Life and Health is Precious." There was one patrol composed of seven girls who represented our school to participate in the encampment, led by their ever active tita's- Tita Judith, Tita Elvira, and Tita Vangie. I was very happy because I was given the opportunity to join this activity. I can't explain to everybody how happy as I can be, most especially in doing our activities like going to Pikkang Falls to have an educational tour. We also planted seedlings along the mountain. I was challenged when we had a needle work. In this activity we sew gloves and socks for babies. There was also a lecture on ARH or Adolescence Reproductive Health. I learned a lot from this lecture specifically on how to prevent the diseases cause by STD and others. For me the best activity that we had was the cocktail party. Because we have to wear our preggy look alike style with its purpose to internalize mote the feelings of being a mother. During the closing program, we receive an award of "multi-talented patrol" and I individually receive the "Motherly Camper Award."
That ends the provincial encampment for the year 2009. It was a really amazing and great experience of my whole high school life. I hope there will be another joyous and meaningful encampment in the future.

My Pilgrim during the Second Grading Period
Actually I was very happy and contented that my experiences during the second grading period were well-done. Most especially to our main topic the "Basic HTML." At first I didn't understand it because there were lots of unfamiliar terms which I could hardly understand, even though our teacher was explaining it to us. Then I realized that I have to focus and concentrate so that I will never be left behind about our lessons.
As the days passed by, I learned to love what I was doing. I was challenged with the activities that we created individually. At the very beginning, I became ignorant about the tags. And one time, I whispered to myself that "it's so tiresome and it's just giving you a headache in doing these activities." But despite of all these challenges, I tried my ultimate best and pursued my determination to improve my capabilities and skills pertaining this matter. And of course I didn't forget to ask the help of Almighty God to give me more power in studying during the times of lacking in understanding. For the next activities I can already follow, and understand the HTML.
Proving on I will continue the job well done during the second grading period. And I will listen carefully during discussions so that I will never be anymore experiencing from headache and others.

Our Succes: Our Teachers' Sacrifices
" The Future Depend on Teachers." This is the quote that I always keep in my mind since I have decided to take up a teaching profession. It is because I believe in the saying that there's no lawyers, doctors, engineers, nurses, businessmen, and accountants without TEACHERS.
Teaching may not be a lucrative position. It cannot guarantee financial security. It even means investing your personal time, energy and resources. Sometimes it means disappointments, heartaches, and pains. But touching the hearts of people and opening the minds of children can give you joy and contentment which money could not buy. So therefore, we should consider our teachers as our heroes, because of them our lives are improving. Just think of yourself, can you achieve your standing or success today without the aid of your teachers? Well, I think it's not. For me, we can only pay the sacrifices of our teachers by obeying, respecting them, and having self-discipline. Sometimes, students are very pasaway but they can always manage or control their temper. They're also great hero in times when their students are involve in any trouble inside the school. In this matter we can already conclude that our teachers are very responsible, they are always there supporting us morally, financially, emotionally, socially, mentally, and even physically, whatever may happen. One thing I can't forget is my experience when I was in grade 5 way back in the year 2005. Whenever we attended any contests, trainings, or seminars, our teachers always shoulder our fare back and forth, and snacks for morning and afternoon. They were so great.
Maybe when we were young we didn't acknowledge their heroic doings for us. Now that we are growing older, we can already understand the reality behind all the struggles they have and to their smiles. They're such a winner. Lastly, I would like to leave a simple quotation that I borrow from Henry Brooks Adams that "A Teacher affects eternity, he/she can never tell where his/her influence stops.
