THE EARTH IS IN OUR HANDS

THE EARTH IS IN OUR HANDS

          The world is now in the era of advanced technology. New gadgets, machines and inventions are now arising. Industrialization and advancement of lifestyle are very rapid these days. These make the life of human better and more comfortable.

          However, these advancements have also disadvantages. One of these is pollution; air pollution due to large amount of gas emitted by vehicles and machines; water pollution from factories and garbage thrown in rivers and seas; and land pollution due to large amount of plastics, Styrofoam and other non-biodegradable inventions of man. These cause many problems in our ecosystem. Some animals from the ecosystem might extinct because of pollution. And the worst thing that may happen is the abnormal rising of the temperature of the earth called the Global Warming.

          But all of us are responsible for taking care of our environment. God created us to be stewards of nature. We must minimize the use of plastics, Styrofoam and other harmful chemicals that may harm our environment. We must also take care of our plants and trees which purifies the air we breathe. We can fight Global Warming; the Earth is in our hands.

BORN TO BE EQUAL

BORN TO BE EQUAL

All of us were born to be equal. God created man to have equal chances, equal rights and equal opportunities. God created man to be equal whether you are rich or poor. We are all equal whether weak or strong.

          In the eyes of God, boys and girls are also equal. Equal in rights and equal in obligations and responsibilities. And it was called Gender Equality. Which means, what man can do, woman can do. Nowadays, some women took the job of men like welding, constructions and many more.

          Back in older times, women were underestimated by man. Women before were only working at homes and some were only slaves. And that wasn't God’s order. God created man and woman to help each other.

          The equality of people in a country makes it peaceful and orderly. And make people unite to achieve the freedom.

They say that if there is a beginning, there is also an ending. The second grading period again ended. I feel a little bit sad because there is only two grading periods remaining before we bid goodbye to our beloved Alma mater, the Ilocos Sur National High School.

            During the second grading period, I learned a lot of things. I learned academic lessons as well as morals. At the end of each day of our classes, I learned to enjoy; enjoy each hours, minutes and seconds of the time. In our ICT class, I learned many concepts of Hypertext Mark-up Language (HTML); about tags and how to use the Notepad. I am happy because even if Ma’am can’t teach us because of many things she do, the exercises she gave is very fun.

            This grading period, I can say that I have done my best. I have done better than last grading period. And hopefully, I will do again better next time.

Nothing Beats a Teacher

Nothing Beats a Teacher

                Teachers are  heroes…………………………………..

                Every time we go to school, they are the one who took care of us. Every time we are in the class, they teach us the very best. Every time we ask for happiness, they’re always ready to give . Every time we are in our worst times, they’re always at our side. And every time we made mistakes, they always ready to forgive.

                Just imagine how much sacrifice they have made; for each days they attend their classes and for each days they made us smile. Just imagine how late they sleep at night. Just imagine how much sweat dropped every time they teach us lessons. And just imagine if there is no teacher; are there doctors, engineers, lawyers, accountants and police?

                We can say that a teacher is truly our heroes. So that we can express our gratitude to them, we must respect them, and every time we meet them at school or at the public areas, we will not forget to say “Ma’am”.

Condemn the Menace

 Condemn the Menace

              

              The world is now considered as a fast soaring bird. Optimum progress is the main target of every nation. Likewise, increasing also each country’s rate of industrialization with the use of Science and Technology is the bull’s eye.

              Building up a progressive country is not easy. There are many obstacles that might prevent the development. One factor to consider is the destruction of the environment. Through the use of much advancement in technology, degradation of our environment occurs and more frequently, many ecological problems arises. And these problems may cause a menace in our society.

              To prevent the possible outbreak of these problems, we must build a possible solution. One big step to do is to utilize the youth. Through the initiative of our government, the creation of science youth organizations such as Science Club and Yes-O club are possibly made.

              Science clubbers are now in action to build up the solution of the problems of our society. They introduced many programs and activities which enlightened the mind of every individual to a greener way of living.

              Empowering Science Clubbers will also make a big step to the forward march of our progress. This can greatly help in lifting the knowledge of every individual that can permanently carry us in the climax of progress.

              

SIMPLE WAYS

SIMPLE WAYS

                Nowadays, heroes are unique from our traditional heroes. Unlike Andres Bonifacio and Jose P. Rizal, our heroes today didn’t sacrifice their lives to become hero; instead, they became heroes from their own simple ways.
                Our parents are examples of modern day heroes. Remember that they took us to this wonderful world. And they also sacrifice to support us in our decisions in life. From our childhood to our adult years, they’re still in our sides.
                A teacher can also be a hero. Our teachers are our second parents. When we are in school, they take care of us like our parents do when we are at home. They also widen our knowledge each day we take our lesson. And remember that there are no other professions if there are no teachers.
                There are many types of heroes today. They became heroes because they have done things for the betterment of our society.

Lets Celebrate!

                                                   

LETS CELEBRATE!

     Even before the Philippines was handled by the Spaniards, the country's culture was very rich. Different Filipino bloodlines have their own languages which became the way to develop and produce what we call the "Panitikang Filipino".

     The Filipino Language is very significant. Through the use of this language, Filipinos from different islands of the country were united as one. The language has been the guide for every citizen in the country which made the laws and ordinances easier to be implemented.

     Through the initiative of our former President Fidel V. Ramos, Republic Act 1041 was enforced to introduce August as the Language Month or "Buwan ng Wika".

     Different schools all over the nation celebrates the "Buwan ng Wika" by introducing different activities and competitions with relevance to the celebration. Some activities includes, Pagsulat ng Sanaysay, Pagsulat ng Tula, Sabayang Pagbigkas, Balagtasan, Dula-dulaan, Ginoo at Binibinng Wika and many more.

     These activities opened the mind of every student how mportant the language is.

To Success...

                Our 2-month first grading period comes to an end. Proportionally, the end of our last year at Ilocos Sur National High School is nearly approaching. There is no other thing to do but to seize the remaining time and enjoy our last year together.

                During the first grading period, I learned many things from our 10 subjects that build up aamd develop my personality. In our calss in ICT, I learned concepts about internet that will enlighten and lead us to optimum knowledge and will uplift our performance in the future so that we will cope up with the fast soaring society.

                However, there were problems and challenges that prevents me sometimes to fully experience or to fully learn and made me fail. But  faced it with full strength and faith to God sothat I will surpass all this challenges.Sometimes, my mistakes is the greatest problem that I encountered. But, I always accept it all and learan from these mistakes.

                Hopefully I’ll do better next grading period. I’ll ace it!!!!!!!!!!!

Letter to President

Honorable President Benigno Aquino:

     Greetings!
     I am a student of Ilocos Sur National High School. I am writing on behalf of myself and my fellow students. We are extremely concerned with the status of our school. We understand that the country's budget is not enough to support programs and projects of our country but the quality of our schools are very low.
     Our school is also facing financial problems. Our school has many students who deserve the best education. However, we are lacking of classrooms and school facilities, our books are out of date and our teachers cannot get proper salary.
      I am aware that you have lot responsibilities  to do as the president of the country, but as a concerned student, I am asking you to find way in the budget of Deped to help our school.
      But I appreciate all that you do for our country and I look forward to see positive change. Thank you for reading.

                                                                                                                   Sincerely yours,
                                                                                                                  Andrew P. Adela
