The old and the new Ilocano culture are both being featured in this year's Kannawidan Ylocos Festival, the festival of Ilocos Sur that celebrates its being a separate province from Ilocos Norte. The festival opened with the residents' expression of gratitude to the blessings of God. A Holy Mass con-celebrated at Saint Paul Cathedral in Vigan City and the procession afterwards. Ilocanos gather in their religious events on special feast days of patron saints.

A School Year Full Of Experience And Lessons

Image
         Less than two months left to undergo my final junior high school life. I am very thankful to the teachers, students, and to everyone that make up Ilocos Sur National High School for the memorable experiences and great lessons that I have gained. For that, I will never regret that I chose this school, thanks to my parents who had forced me. In this last quarter of my last junior high school, I always continue to learn. Everyday I am grateful that I interact with the people that I love and my friends. My relationship with my classmates and teachers got deeper as time passes by.           For my past past days, I had observed that I find it hard to get motivated on Mondays because for me, my week end is not enough.  Sometimes I overthink too often and it's kinda annoying me.

"MY DREAM, MY FUTURE"

        When I was a kid,  I used to have plenty of dreams, I may not even remember some of it anymore. But most those dreams were just fantasies because I was just kid before. Now, as I'm becoming older and mature, I am now more aware of my environment and becoming more realistic.

I wanted to become either a doctor, scientist, lawyer, pilot or an engineer. But I became more realistic and said to myself that I can't be studying all of my life just to learn all of these professions, I just have to choose one. Except for these, which are my ambitions, I wanted to be rich, not that crazy rich but in a way that all needs and some wants will be met. But I know that  if I just dream for it, nothing will happen. So, I have to work for it or do something 'bout it. Work hard, work smart and sacrifice, 'cause dreams without a

Description About Myself

          Hi there! My full name is Marius Lorrence Alejon Padua, 16 years of age. I was born on May 13, 2003 at Metro Vigan Cooperative Hospital. Currently studying at Ilocos Sur National High School ; I am a junior high school student, grade 10 student to be exact. I live at Cabanglutan, San Juan, Ilocos Sur and I ride on a bus everytime I go to school and to go home. I already practiced doing it since I was in grade 7 so there's nothing to worry about. Thanks to my parents, they pushed me to study here, instead of studying at San Juan National High School. If I don't practice to go far or away from my parents, I will have difficulties in adjusting myself when I will go to college. I also wanted to got to Special Science Class but again, thanks to my parents, they wanted me to be in Special Mathematics Class and luckily I didn't r egret going to SMC. https://www.scanyourentirelife.com/how-write-a-autobiography-vs-memoir-difference-life-story-secret-tips/
