 The 123rd High School Day celebration at our school was an amazing experience that brought everyone together. This yearly celebration is important because it reminds us of our school's history and achievements, and it helps us feel proud to be part of Ilocos Sur National High School. This year was extra special for me because one of my classmates won the title of queen, which made the event even more exciting. We also worked hard on a performance and ended up winning first place! It was so much fun to celebrate with everyone. Since this is my last foundation day as a junior student, it means a lot to me. I’m moving up to senior high school soon, and I feel a mix of happiness and sadness about leaving this part of my school life behind. Overall, the celebration was a great way to enjoy our hard work and honor our school's traditions.

As I reflect on the past quarter, I feel a mix of emotions. This is it, this is my last reflection essay, and it’s hard to say goodbye to such an important time in our learning. To be honest, tears are building in my eyes as I am writing this reflection essay.  One of the highlights was learning about Ms. Front Page. Our amazing teacher guided us through creating our own front pages, making the process fun and educational. I'm grateful for the chance to learn from both our teacher and our practice teacher, ma'am Charleen. Your guidance has made a big difference in my growth. As we close this chapter. I just want to take this opportunity to say that I appreciate the experiences we’ve shared and the knowledge you shared to all of us. Thank you, dear teachers, for guiding us and for all your help. Your influence will stay with us as we move forward. Once again, thank you—for this amazing school that you shared with me and my classmates. 

Fifteen years from now, I envision myself as a successful CPA lawyer, having completed my studies in law and built a fulfilling career that blends my passion for justice with my expertise in finance.  Before starting my own family, I plan to take a special trip with my parents and sisters, creating lasting memories and cherishing the time we have together. I see myself living a comfortable life, balancing my professional ambitions with the joys of family. I imagine being happily married, sharing my life with a supportive partner, and raising two wonderful children who inspire me every day. Together, we create a warm home, where values of hard work and compassion are present. As I navigate the challenges of my career, I remain committed to making a positive impact in my community, ensuring that my journey is not just about personal success, but also about uplifting those around me. Ps: Hopefully by now I'm already a millionaire lol🤞✨ Sources: *https://images.app.goo.gl/E4o78kdxKrxx...

The theme "WE for Gender Equality and an Inclusive Society" is celebrated every March during National Women's Month. This theme is important because it encourages everyone to work together for equal rights and opportunities for all genders. When we promote gender equality, we help create a fairer society where everyone can succeed. We can contribute by speaking out against unfair treatment, supporting local groups that help women and marginalized people, and sharing information about gender issues with our friends and family. Joining events during National Women's Month is another great way to show support and learn more about how we can make a positive change together.

My attendance at the Tle booth event was to show my support for fellow young entrepreneurs. I made it a point to visit various booths and purchase products they were offering, as I believe in the importance of encouraging their bussiness spirit and hard work. By doing so, I aimed to contribute to their success and inspire them to continue.  Out of curiosity I asked around the purpose of the Estyudantreprenuer event. Turns out it is to support and showcase young entrepreneurs and their innovative ideas. The event aims to empower young entrepreneurs by offering them the opportunity to present their business ideas and products.  In addition, I also took the opportunity to enjoy the various games and activities organized during the event. Engaging in these fun activities not only added to the overall enjoyment of the day but also gave a sense of community among people. Overall, my experience at the event was both fulfilling and enjoyable.
