REFLECTION

High school life is going to end and soon will be starting a new steps of education.  I am so excited to leave for college and going to the real world.  But inside me it’s so hard to leave because I will surely miss my friends and my classmates who have been a part of me for four years. 

There’s nothing I should do but to accept it that soon will be leaving our Alma mater.  It sad to say goodbye but we need to face the world with a big hello for our future.  We need to decide what will be going to take for our future plans. 

Going to College is my biggest fear on how to adjust to this new environment.  I know it will not be easy for me but I need to do it by my own in order to pursue and finish my college.  I have many dreams and plans in life that I need to accomplish. This is it we need to focus, this is just only the beginning and soon will be a successful person in the future.

My DREAM My FUTURE

A person needs to achieve certain goals in one’s life before you can call them successful. Success is to achieve goals, you have set.

I am Regine Marie Ramos, 16 years of age. It is hard to imagine where I am going to be in next ten years of my life. Succeeding high school, I am going to take up Bachelor of Science in Psychology and I will definitely need to continue my education at the graduate level in order to earn my Ph.D. or Psy.D. in psychology. Although the reality scares me, I am looking forward to what the future has in store for me.

I will try my best to do my dream job in the future, and if I fail or I have problems with my studies. I will keep on dreaming to overcome the problem and keep believing so I will have a good life in the future.

CHANGE: It starts with me

As the saying goes “nothing in this world is permanent except for change”.

I do believe that change coming from within oneself is really more meaningful and worth rewarding. Just like for example my younger sister committed something against us, tendency is that we feel bad and angry but if we mean change we are willing to accept their faults & forgive them for their wrong doing so that’s change.

A change not only coming from within but more so with the heart.

Insight: YLOCOS KANNAWIDAN FESTIVAL

The province of Ilocos Sur is where the Ilocos Region’s myriad of cultures and histories converge to become a living museum of spirited past. A national shrine, a national landmark, a national museum, heritage museums, ancestral houses, period houses, cobblestoned streets – they all share space in the timeless land of Ilocos Sur.

The Kannawidan Ylocos Festival had already established its identity as the prime festival of the province. The festival was launched in 2008 under the leadership of Governor Deogracias Victor B. Savellano to commemorate the foundation day of Ilocos Sur as separate province through the approval of a Spanish Royal Decree on February 2, 1818. The province has a rich heritage and unique cultures that need to be preserved for the next generations. However, many of these traditions, songs, dances and other Ilocano cultures were not already familiar to the younger generations due to the influence of technology.

These include traditional tribal rituals and choir competition, marching band contest, traditional music ensemble, dance drama and many more. These events aimed to encourage young Ilocanos to learn these indigenous songs and dances for sustainability and preservation. Let us all preserve these cultures for the next generations and this will serve as our trademark as an Ilocano.

REFLECTION

Education is important in one’s life. Education is the greatest treasures that can be achieved which gives us knowledge and brings success to everyone. This help us reach our own dreams. There’s no young and adult in education as long as you have the goal in reaching for it. 

In this third grading, I have learned a lot of new things again because learning deepens our character and makes us more inspiring to those around us.  It makes us more confident.

           Life is full of challenges. We students have so much challenges to face in school like quizzes, activities, projects and exam. But all of this we can face with courage so we can finish and pass it in time. That’s why we need advice and support from our friends and family.

            Moving on, I will study hard so my parents will be proud of me.

New Year, New Me

New Year is the most celebrated days in the whole world. January is the month of new beginning’s and celebration. I’ve always failed my New Year’s resolutions, every year I promise myself that this time will be different.

It is the time to celebrate New Year with our family.  A new year for a new you.  New adventures.  New experiences.  You must let go all your past mistakes.  Forget all the negativity.  A year to create new friendships.  A year to believe in yourself.  I hope 2015 will bring me all the happiness that I deserve, as well as good health, love and unity.  Everyone wants and “hope that 2015 will be a good year” take life a day at a time.  Don’t hope for a whole year to be perfect.  All we can do is hope to learn and have true friends and be happy the year ahead. Don’t hope for a better year, hope for a better you.

Forget about the bad experiences happened in 2014 and just move on and learn from it.  Take risks and be yourself, you only live once so it’s time to make the most of it.  Make a new year’s resolution and this time achieve it.

ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS

Christmas is very important because this was the day Jesus born. This is the time for giving and sharing. Christmas bring happiness to everyone.   

Christmas is about to come. Everyone is preparing for this special day. They already decorating their houses: putting Christmas lights, lanterns and Christmas tree. I am a true lover of Christmas. Christmas is always a magical time of the year. I think giving gifts in Christmas is just as great as receiving one. Most of the time giving can be even more enjoyable. It is the time when families and close friends come home from other places to be with the people they love. It is always fun to enjoy the company of our family during Christmas.

Christmas will always be the best day of the year. The time we show appreciation to each other. It’s time to spread the joy, love and peace throughout the world.
