REFLECTION: A CHALLENGING QUARTER

My Junior high school journey is about to end, we only have 3 remaining weeks to be together and enjoy each others company. It was like yesterday when we are learning the lessons of first quarter and now we are also about to end as we finished to learn the lessons for the fourth quarter. 

The challenges and difficulties this time is not new to me anymore because I've already encoutered it through the previous quarters but I can say that this one was the hardest. It fully testes my determination for my studies and gave me stressful days, but despite of the stress it caused to me I still managed to finish all the given activities/requirements. If you are not really determine to work hard, you cannot accomplish the thing you want but if you will be determined to finish it, I promise you your harhships will be paid off. 

Always believe in ourselves, think positive always and put in our minds that everything will fall into the right place if we will exert determination, hope, and patience on everything we do.

MY ARCHITECTURAL DREAM

Everyone has a dream and future ambitions in life, some of us dream of being rich and living a good life in the near future. We have a lot of different perspectives in life that we want to accomplish, and one of the biggest and hardest prrstension in my life is to become an architect someday.

My interest about architecture began when I was still at the young age. I've always wondered how those tall buildings, elegant houses was built only with the use of the creative and artistic ideas/mind of a human being. And I even love architecture more when my father started showing me his works and house designs when he was still an architecture student, I was so amazed that time that's why even I'm at the you lng age I got even more curious about the things related to this field.

 Now, I am a grade 10 student and another chapter of my life is about to end an ready again to enter the new chapter of my life, I will continue to walk through the path of my journey in achieving my dreams in life. I know that this journey will not be easy. It requires a lot of efforts and sacrifices, but I have the courage and confidence that someday I will become the one I always dream of.

This dream of mine is not only for myself but also to my parents who exerted a lot of hardships and sacrifices just to provide and support me to the things I want to, they are also the ones who believed in me more than I believed in myself. They also see the great potential in me in becoming the person I want to. Don't ever lose hope in life and continue to strive harder because everything will be paid off when the time we succeed in life

Ilocos Sur National High School is a very well-known school for secondary level in the entire province of Ilocos Sur. It is because of the good quality of its learning system and for the good opportunities given to the students of our school.

Last March 02 of the year 2019, we the students and teachers of our school celebrated the 117th foundation day of Ilocos Sur National High School. Our school was filled with laugh, excitement, and enjoynment within this day. Laugh because of the funny moments we've experience, excitement because of the field demonstration that we will perform infront of the thousands students in our school, and the enjoynment when we watch the performance of boys and girls for each year level. It was fun and entertaining to watch all the performers including us, all of us did our best and exerted a lot of effort on it but still at the end of the day both of the performers of grade 8 boys and girls won the field demo presentation.

We are not sad nor dismayed because of the result, we are still proud and happy. Proud because we knew we did our best to give them an amazing performance, and happy at the same time because we knew that the grade 8 students deserve to win this time. Their performance was wonderful, costumes are really attractive, and lastly their props were really colorful.

Winning is not our main goal for this event, it is for us to have fun and enjoy others company, and also for us to show that studying is not the only thing we do in our school but also for us to showcase our talents in dancing and show that the students of Ilocos Sur National High School can do more than what they expect from us.
