Moments of JAM

  

     Through my studies and my personal life, I picked up several new learning experiences to enhance both my educational background as well as from making friends. I realized that during this quarter that having the right friends to keep company with makes for a positive school experience. Being around friends who support you allows you to learn from one another. Another unique quality of this past quarter is that it was the final quarter priority to graduating junior high, so I enjoyed every minute I got to share with my classmates. 

   

    I also faced several challenges during this quarter. There were many school tasks, activities, and requirements that had to be completed before the end of the school year, and sometimes it was pretty overwhelming to get all of these done on time. Additionally, one of my biggest challenges was to face the fact that, although we are still together for now, we are going to be moving on in a few years and taking on different paths as we enter into our senior high school years. 

   


  To overcome these challenges, I tried my best to manage my time and finish my tasks early. I listened carefully to my teachers and asked for help when I did not understand the lesson. I also spent more time with my classmates, enjoying the moments we had together while still focusing on our responsibilities in school. 

    Moving on, I will continue to do my best in my studies as I enter a new chapter in Senior High School. In addition, all the lessons I learned throughout junior high, I will take with me all the memories I created in junior high school. To my friends, thank you for being part of my journey. You were one of the reasons why I kept fighting and doing my best even when things were hard. The laughter we shared, the experiences we had together, and all the memories I created with you will be with me forever. Even though we may go our separate ways in the future, each of you will have a special place in my heart, and I will always cherish our friendship.

Marching with Pride, Dancing with Heart

    On March 7, 2026, the 124th Foundation Day of Ilocos Sur National High School was celebrated with great joy by all. The day began with a parade throughout the school's campus. All students in grades 7 to 11 participated, with each class creating their own unique prop and design for their section of the parade. Some groups used many colorful decorations, banners, and costumes to make the parade visually appealing and exciting to watch. It was an awesome experience to see all the students working together, expressing their creativity, and representing the school spirit. 

    

    After the parade, we moved to the field for the field demonstration, where all grades performed their own dance routines for everyone in attendance. Everyone, including us Grade 10, showed tremendous excitement to perform what had been practiced, but also a competition amongst the classes. All Grade 10 students truly gave everything they had to give their best performance. 

    

    While we in Grade 10 did not win the competition, we were still very proud of our overall performance. Even though we did not receive a trophy, the experience was still fun and meaningful for us. We were able to learn about the significance of working as a team, putting an effort, and supporting each other. The 124th Foundation Day celebration will remain a very special memory in our hearts forever.
