Second quarter For the win!

     The second quarter of this school year has been a Basketball game for me. There are lead changes, turnovers, but also there are those momentum blasts. /but why dd I tell so? It's  because of the things that happened to me this quarter. So here is the recap of my second quarter.

     First, I found it hard to balance being a student, an athlete, and a campus journalist at the same time. These three works require a lot of time, especially on the part of being a student, Although I didn't have those 'grade' problems earlier this year, I fear that I will encounter it afterwards. But these challenges are what makes High school life better, right? Life without challenges is like a drink without a taste. It lame and pale. So, I found a way to balance them. TIME MANAGEMENT. That's how I solved my problem. With proper management of my time, I was able to work on them with less hustle.

     Although I faced some challenges, I also had the momentum of my quarter. That is having been selected as a player for the city meet, and qualified for the District Schools Press Conference 2014. Now, I realized that facing hard challenges are not that bad. After triumphing against them, you will taste their sweet prizes. And that's what I experienced. But great things come with greater responsibilities. So, my responsibility for now is to get better on them and at the same time, making my life better.

     This grading period isn't just about these fancy things. It's about discovering the best in me. Now, I've discovered the inner me, a joyful, friendly, and understanding me.

My teacher, my HERO

   

 "My teacher, my hero." This quotation says it all. Teachers, as we see, are not the typical superheroes we see in movies. They might not have those cool superpowers like speed, strength, etc. But they have this very special power, the power to transform the youth into better people.

     Teachers are people who dedicate their lives on educating other people, especially children but almost not having sufficient time for their own children, and even for themselves. Being a teacher requires vast knowledge, you must have a great patience, and also, you must have the passion for it. Without those, you will never succeed in this field.

     As my teacher in Economics say, "Teaching is not a profession. IT is a VOCATION."This explained me why teachers were able to stay happy through the hard times they face great challenges. This alone convinced me that these magnificent people have the guts to change us, the youth, which are referred as the future of the world.

     Teachers may not be perfect people, but I am sure that they are the heroes of our generation. Without them, the youth will not have a bright future waiting for them. So I saute all the teachers out there. HATS OFF TO YOU, Sir/Ma'am.

Making a better world through Sports and Dances

   

      Sports has made a breakthrough to the entire world, being one of the most talked about fields of today. That's why schools including ISNHS launched the Intramurals 2014. This is a three-day event that features the students competing with each other through Sports and Dances.

The event consists of many games, both the professionally-played sports (e.g Basketball, Volleyball), parlor games, and dances. The event started with a parade around the school led by the colors, followed by the marching band, and the athletes. After the parade, they proceed to the gym for the formalities. A ceremonial toss was conducted to formally start the games. On the second day, most of the games were played. Basketball became the main highlight of the day because of the championship game of the roaring Seniors against the cunning Juniors. Despite of the Seniors clinching the championship, the Juniors squad made an impressive game, dominating the early quarters of the game. But the last day was postponed due to the sensational Typhoon Mario, which visited the locality that day. The continuation of the intramurals was conducted for two days during the 3-5 PM of the day. Although the fun was not already there, we still managed to find something for us to have fun.

Intramurals isn't just an event to test who is the best among the rest, it also tests the camaraderie and sportsmanship f every person involved. The result of the said activity is something our school can be proud of because the event went on smoothly and peacefully, which is a great achievement. And most importantly, it gave the students a chance to have fun even for just a short period of time.

Science in Action!

     Science had made this world change through the years by its technological advancements. From the invention of touch screen smart phones, to the invention of other recent machines. Science has made the solar energy be transformed to a power to supply lights to houses.


This month of September, Science club have officially launched the Science month celebration with the theme "." Which is related to loading of guns with bullets, which plays an important role on the theme. By loading ourselves with the required knowledge, we are packing ourselves with the most powerful weapon, knowledge. With this knowledge, we can soar high to reach our respective goals.


For me, as an individual, I have a simple yet meaningful goal in life, that is to finish my studies, help my parents and live my own life. With the help of Science, I can make my life easier through connecting people through phones, searching desired items on the internet, and many more.
