ISNHS Experience

                   Every time I go to bed, and before I fall asleep, I can't help myself from thinking and realizing the good and bad things I have done on that day. After all, I can say that I'm lucky and bless because I encounter all of those things. High School life! During my elementary life, my cousins kept on telling me that high school is the best. And as a child, I wonder why. Now, my question was answered by my experience.

                  When I was in first year, I was nervous during the 1st day of class because I don't know if I'll have a friend. My elementary classmates went to other schools, and it's only me who went to Ilocos Sur National High School. But I am happy, my decision to study here was right. ISNHS wasn't perfect and that's what makes it perfect. You can encounter different kinds of students and teachers here. And of course, you also have to encounter the obstacles of making projects and having  a test. Yet, it's all worth it.

                   I am a fourth year student now and my first grading period was about to end. But like what they say, "The end is only the beginning." I can say that I had my BEST first grading period and I'm going to make my second, third and fourth as best as it is also. Thanks to my wonderful friends and classmates. Because of them, I can describe in just one word my high school life is: EXTRAORDINARY!
          The State Of the Nation Address or commonly known as SONA must be done by the president. Every year, a president must have his/her SONA. In their SONA, the finished projects, future projects, opinions and everything they would like to say will be there.
     
          Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III delivered his fifth SONA in July 28, 2014. "Ang problemang nadatnan, nasolusyonan. Ang nandyan, tinutugunan. At ang problemang paparating palang, pinaghahandaan na rin."he said. He also included the promises he fulfilled. " Sabay-sabay nang natutupad ang ating mga pangarap: kalusugang pangkalahatan, silid-aralan, trabaho, daungan, kalsada, paliparan, kaligtasan, at kapayapaan." and at the end of his SONA, he became emotional when he remembered his parents. For me, I'm not satisfied and I somehow don't believe on it. He said that the problems he encountered were now solved but I think it's not. We still have problems in schools, jobs, highways, and most of all peace. I am also disappointed because I didn't hear the most important thing for me, that he must include in his SONA, the PDAF scam. He failed to discuss it so I'm not contented with his SONA. I hope he can prove it.

40th Nutrition Month

              Malnutrition is one of our biggest problems in Philippines especially in children. Because of poverty, many Filipino is suffering in hunger and that's also one of the reasons why there are malnourished people. And sometimes, junk foods also cause malnutrition. Now, the question is: How ready are we when there is a calamity?
              According to my research, there are 30-40percent  Filipino children who are now malnourished. Isn't it alarming? If you are a malnourished person, you don't have a strength and you'll not be able to think with a better idea. When there is a calamity, malnourished people won't be ready because they are too weak and hungry. This will be also a displeasing problem in our country so we need to put an end on this.
              We can fight malnutrition by having a proper diet and by eating healthy foods. Eating fruits and vegetables is the most effective way to fight malnutrition. We have to campaign the proper way of maintaining ones healthy body and we have to tell to everyone what's the good of eating fruits and vegetables. By these, people will be enlighten and we can solve and fight malnutrition.
