Celebrating Legacy: ISNHS High School Day

 


On March 22nd, our school, Ilocos Sur National High School (ISNHS), celebrated its 123rd High School Day Celebration. It was an exciting day filled with music, dance, and school spirit.



The celebration started with a lively parade around the school grounds, featuring students from different grade levels. We marched proudly, waving flags and banners.



The highlight of the celebration was the dance performances by each grade level. We showed off our best moves and had a blast competing with each other.
We placed 3rd in the performance competition. Although we didn't take the top spot, we were still beaming with pride and happiness. We knew we had given it our all and had an amazing time doing it.


The 123rd High School Day Celebration of ISNHS was an unforgettable experience that I will always treasure. It was a day filled with laughter, excitement, and pride. I'm grateful to be part of this school community and to have shared in the joy and excitement of this special day. As I look back on the celebration, I'm reminded of the importance of teamwork, perseverance, and school spirit. Our performance may not have been perfect, but we gave it our all and had fun doing it. That's what matters most. Until then, I'll cherish the memories of this special day and the sense of pride and belonging that comes with being part of the ISNHS community.

Empowered Women, Empowered Humanity!



As we celebrate Women's Month, I'm reminded of the progress we've made towards achieving gender equality, but also the immense work still needed to create a truly inclusive society. The theme "WE for Gender Equality and an Inclusive Society" resonates deeply with me, emphasizing the importance of collective action in achieving gender equality.

Breaking down barriers is crucial to creating a more just and equitable world. This means challenging discriminatory laws and policies, addressing the gender pay gap, and providing access to education and healthcare. An inclusive society values and celebrates diversity, recognizing the intersections of gender with other forms of identity, such as race, class, and disability. Empowering women is essential to empowering humanity. By promoting gender equality and inclusion, we create a more just and equitable world for everyone. This is a win-win situation, where everyone benefits from a more inclusive and equitable society. As we celebrate Women's Month, let us recommit ourselves to the pursuit of gender equality and an inclusive society.

Let us work together to break down barriers, challenge discriminatory systems, and promote inclusion and intersectionality. By doing so, we can create a world where everyone can thrive, regardless of their gender or background.

A Quarter of Learning: Reflecting on My Progress

This quarter was really challenging but also super rewarding. I learned so much about HTML tags and CSS, and how to apply them in community-based research.


One of the coolest things I learned was how to design and develop a community-based website using HTML tags and CSS. I never thought I'd be able to do something like that, but with practice and patience. I also learned about the importance of community engagement and participation in the design and development process. It's not just about creating a website that looks good - it's about creating something that's actually useful and meaningful to the community.

Of course, there were also some challenges. One of the biggest ones was editing the web designs. We encountered problems with aligning elements, sizing images, and getting the layout just right. It was frustrating at times, but we worked together as a team to troubleshoot and find solutions. To address the challenges, we used online resources and tutorials to learn more about HTML and CSS. We also worked together to test and refine our designs, making sure that they were functional and user-friendly. Despite the challenges, I'm really proud of what I accomplished this quarter. I learned so much and had a blast doing it.


Moving forward, I'm excited to dive deeper into web development and learn more about advanced topics like JavaScript and responsive design. I'm looking forward to applying my skills to new projects and continuing to learn and grow as a web developer.


Overall, this quarter was an amazing learning experience, and I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to work on such a meaningful project.
