EQUAL RIGHTS, EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES!

  

People all over the world have their own rights that must be attained by us. The only difference is that; in a certain country in the world, there are policies to followed and obeyed that this depends on how the people living in are treated.

  In this modern generation, some of our fellowmen are unfairly treated by some of the high people and that must not be. We must never discriminate our own men even how rich, how poor, how high, or how low our status in life is. The only basis for us to have equal treatment is that; we must know the rights of every individual, and also for us people, we have the obligation to fight for our own rights for us to have the chance to be given equal opportunities.

  We must bear in mind that God created us fairly by his own image and it truly proves that; "Equal rights will lead us to an equal opportunities in life."

What Difference Can We Make?

  We are all created by God differently, that we have our own strengths and weaknesses in life. In our lives, we make our own chapters of our life stories by doing something for ourselves for us to be better.

  In a poem entitled; The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost, one of the lines in the poem that has made my eyes open wide for me to see the reality is that; "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I...I took the one less traveled by, and that made all the difference." In connection to this, we can only make difference in our lives through our own decisions. We must not be afraid to try new things because nothing's wrong if we try. If we decide for ourselves, we expect that there will be happenings throughout our journeys that in someday, we shall make a difference in our lives.

  I cannot enumerate what specific differences we can make, but all I know is that; we can only make good differences in our lives if at the same time, we will make a good and wise decision. The reason why God created us differently it's because; He set our own abilities for us to use it with a real purpose and that is  us to make a wise and good decision. It proves that life is enchanted that in every decision we make will lead us to a difference in life.

  I will end this up with a quotation by Earwin Magic Johnson saying; "You're the only one who can make the difference. Whatever your dream is, go for it."

ONE HOT EARTH!

  

 Because of the greenhouse gases that are being trapped in the atmosphere which changes the normal weather patterns and conditions in a region of the Earth then "climate change" takes place and when it occurs in a particular region, it'll surely bring consequences that not only the people living in could be affected but at the same time, the living things are also being ruined if that happens.

  Our country; the Philippines is being affected by the destructive climate change. It's so obvious that these days, we feel so irritated because of the severe heat that strikes on our skin and it can cause disease if that is not prevented or it's not given enough attention. 

  Climate Change has causes and effects, and some of the reasons why climate change takes place is because of continental drifts, eruption of volcanoes, ocean currents, the earth's tilt and of course, the illegal/unwise activities of the people just like the construction of illegal factories. On the other hand, climate change has also effects to be considered and must be given attention and these are; the rising of sea levels, heavy rainfalls that causes flooding in many regions, extreme drought, crops wither, ecosystems are changing or it becomes unbalance and at the same time, the spreading of various diseases and that is the reason why the experts are studying/researching hard on how to prevent and finally stop climate change in our country and to the other regions all over the world.

  Now that our mother Earth is suffering the consequences, all we can do is for us to save it. In our own simple and wise ways, we can help mother Earth to be in a good condition again. Starting now, we must help one another for us to fight the destructive "climate change."

Now I Know!

    

  Another grading was accomplished and in exchanged, more knowledge have been gained and at the same time,  more experienced have been felt.

  ICT subject is one of the most influential subject that I am presently learning. Do you know why? I have only one simple reason and that is because, almost everyday, I am using our PC, and we all know that one of the most widely used device today is computer. This grading, we studied all about TAGS, and it fits perfectly to what I am doing these days. In surfing the net, I found something that made me curious. This questions have been posted into my mind; what is this HTML for? Why is it that in most of the videos and songs that I download, I see this "< >?" And because of the help of Ma'am Vera Cruz, all questions in my mind are already answered that even these small things function for a very  important reason. 
 In addition, this grading, Ma'am Vera Cruz set some activities for us to learn more about TAGS! Sometimes, it's tricky, but I can do it with the help of my teacher and my classmates.

  Now that I know how important TAGS are, I'm being more careful now in using the right TAGS for my works. This made me realized that, " Even small things are terrible if we don't use them properly" just like the HTML TAGS! :DD

  

"Promoting Digital Literacy through English Proficiency"

We are now in a modernized world. We are surrounded of new inventions and processes today, and as we adapt ourselves with these, we must also adapt modern ideas and methods for us to apply it to our daily lives.

In connection to this, English Month is being celebrated in the entire Philippines as the month of October starts. In this year 2011, this is being celebrated with a theme; “Promoting Digital Literacy through English Proficiency.”

English is considered as the Universal Language. Meaning, we must all have the right to learn it. With the help of our educated minds, another technique for us to be shaped into an excellent one is that, our educators fused our proficiency in English with the skills or techniques that we are gaining from the new technologies that perfectly suits for a person to be digitally literate. In addition, one of the most famous inventions that are being made is the computers. The people, especially us students are using the computers almost everyday for us to make our works in school easier, especially that it fits just right when we are about to surf the net.

As I end up, I just want to dig down and plant into your minds how important is the English Language in us. We must not be stuck in the traditional method of learning. We must give it a different flavor this time though our proficiency in English for us to adapt the use of our new technologies and processes today to make our lives just simply worthliving.

The Collaboration

  In the month of September, Science Month is being celebrated in every school over the entire Philippines. In connection to this, students are having some activities to do for they will enhance and enrich their skills and at the same time, for them to learn and discover things that they have never encountered before, and with the help of this, it will make the students build their own development.

  This month, our school, the Ilocos Sur National High School is currently celebrating the Science Month with the theme; CHEMERGY: CHEMISTRY and SCIENCE CLUB in SYNERGY. What does this theme means?

  Chemistry has brought many benefits to our daily lives. Everyday, we see and use products of chemistry, but still Chemistry is just a branch of Science, that it cannot stand alone without the other applications of processes of Science, but because of the scientific minds of people, students in every school are being encouraged to join the organization regarding in the knowledge of Science through Science Clubbing. In here, scientific and inventive minds of students are being enriched. They are being exposed to life of Science. So, in connection to the theme, with the collaboration of Chemistry and Science Club, there will be a more effective products that will be produced or created that can surely bring more benefits to us people. The theme is also giving highlight in the oneness of all Science Clubbers, but at the same time, including us.

  It is very important for us to develop our own skills. We are being molded for us to understand things deeper. It's not only the Science Clubbers that must start actions, we must all work together as one for our own and for our country's betterment. Through CHEMERGY, our lives will be changed, a change for the better.

A Day For Thanking

  

  Between the months of September and October, Teachers' Day is actually celebrated in schools, but the United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) commenced October 5 as World Teachers' Day, but they considered September 27 and September 28 as the actual Teachers' Day, that it is a school holiday where teachers are allowed to rest. It is a day to celebrate the things that they are doing for us students, or in other words, it is a Thanksgiving Day for them.

  Even when I was in Elementary, and even now that I am in a High School Level, all of my teachers have always there to guide and support me. My parents are the number one who influence me a lot and next to them are my teachers. They are also the ones that continuous to influence me for me to be who I am now. I definitely admire my teachers for the reason that they are inspirational, they galvanize and encourage students to study and at the same time, for them to learn, because our teachers are the primary source of learning and inspiration. My teachers are the ones who also build my personality to be an able and excellent person for me to be complete.

  Through this, even in just a simple way of expressing my gratitude for the things that they are doing just for us to learn not only in an academic way, but also in moral and spiritual ways.

  To all my teachers, I thank you very much for making me into what I am now. I'm very proud and lucky to have all of you in my life. You truly deserves to be a hero. You are my teachers, you are my heroes.
