Last Page for this Chapter

Knowledge and memories will not be forgotten. It is now the 4th Grading, the last quarter. I excelled my skills in Photoshop and now, I'm writing the last blog that I will post as a requirement for this subject. 

This chapter of my life is soon to end. Being a transfer student and being in the Maxwell family here in Ilocos Sur National High School, I experienced many things that are new to me and learned lessons that are more than what can be taught from a book. Everything seems like a dream to me. But I'm glad that this is the reality, for I know that meeting and having these people, my schoolmates and teachers, in my life is more than the happiness someone can feel in finding a hidden treasure. I consider them as valuable people who taught me so many things, gave me memories to keep, and moments to reminisce in the future. This is not just a phase or adventure I need to pass because I know that these will remain in my heart in my whole lifetime. I don't regret studying in my hometown and I will never regret meeting such persons. 


In every class in ICT, I always think creatively even if I don't want to and I thank you for that, Ma'am Eve. You helped me enhance my interests regarding these computer 'thingzZz'. These blogs are also a fruit of your teachings, Ma'am. If it wasn't for this, maybe I won't get to express how I wanted being here and being one of your students. 


Thank you for all the lessons, care, and patience, teachers and thank you for the love, Maxwell.

The Fruit of Aspiration

Fulfilling something you wanted to do and to have is so overwhelming. How much more if it is your dream that you achieved?

Everyone of us have dreams and ambitions. For me, I don't really care about what I'll become in the future, as long as I love what I will do and there's nothing bad in it, I'll pursue it for myself and my happiness. 


Moving up and completing junior high school is the start of the real journey. We're now incoming senior high school students, and I hope that all of us, Maxwell and Marconi, to be successful one day, and to attain what we want to be in the near future.

Aspiring is a great thing. We can be whoever and whatever we want to. We can all harvest the fruit of our hardships or difficulties, sacrifices, and pain as we close the last page in this book, a book of us being in junior high school. Just work harder and be open to more challenges for us to obtain our dreams in life.

It allows the weight of the structure to go into the ground without sinking. In an organization, foundation is where the strength of the sectors are build. And for this, we show gratitude for those who build the foundation of a school.

The High School Day of Foundation Day of Ilocos Sur National High School is celebrated annually. There are events such as parade, field demonstration of every grade level, and coronation of Mr. and Ms. ISNHS. Bulletin boards are posted to keep everyone in touch with the schedule of the programs.


This celebration is an important milestone each year, where we show our gratitude for the wisdom, courage, and commitment demonstrated by those who contributed to the establishment of the school.


This day is an exciting day for the school and provides students, staffs, parents, and guests alike an opportunity to reflect on the growth of the school's bright future waiting ahead.

A Way of Thanksgiving

Kannawidan is an Ilocano term meaning feast of rich heritage and culture. Celebrating Kannawidan is a way of sustaining the traditions of Ilocano people and promoting tourism of Ilocandia.

The Kannawidan Ylocos Festival draws local and foreign tourists as more entertaining events like celebrity and band performances, had been added in the celebrations.

This celebration also helps the tourism industry boost the demand of the province’ products through the fair which is open to anyone, even foreign tourists. Programs are also held such as job and livelihood opportunities which can benefit the community and help them nurture their family.  

Reviving the culture which is almost forgotten by the new generations is also one of the celebration’s significance. It can familiarize the youth to the things our ancestors used to do because of the technology eating their minds and actions up.

It is also a good platform to showcase talents of different persons, specially the youth. These contests can help them through the high-amount prices supported by the city officials.

It is the Ilocanos' way of giving thanks to the Almighty not only for the bountiful blessings but also for the rich heritage of the city, including the close family ties among the Ilocanos.
