SCIENTRICITY: Energizing Science Clubbers for Sustainable Energy

          For this month of September, we celebrate the National Science Club Month.  This year 2012, we have “Scientricity: Energizing Science Clubbers for Sustainable Energy” as its theme.

                As to my own understanding about these phrases, they want everyone to become more relevant to prevalent issues of science, technology and environment.  They want to increase youth’s awareness in the significance of sustainability and energy.  And for more understandings, sustainability is somewhat like maintenance and of course, energy is the capacity to do work.

               It will not only present practical applications and theories in the concepts of sustainable energy.  It will also challenge the science clubbers both mentally and physically.  This is through fun and educational lectures, workshops, team-building activities and contests.

           In fact, here in Ilocos Sur national High School we do have also a lot of activities regarding this National Science Club Month.  Some of these were science quiz, slogan making contest, poster slogan making contest, extemporaneous speaking and the “Ginoo at Bb. Kalikasan”.  Through conducting activities like this, students become more caring to their surroundings.

               Having those, were really very helpful in molding not only our minds but also ones’ self-confidence.  It is really a big help to our environment especially that our theme is about energy. In which we must maintain, care and love as well.

My Teacher, My Hero

                 A teacher plays a very important role in molding young minds.  Whatever they utters and does are of meaning to the learners.

                For me, I admire very much the patience and sacrifices of teachers.  They do things which are incomparable.  Their homes are even extensions of the school.  It is because they bring home unfinished school work. At home, still household chores are waiting for them.  They make sure that everything is in order before leaving for school.

                They sleep late at night in making lesson plans and wake up early in the morning to prepare thing for their family.  Their work is unlimited. Sometimes they even do community services but never that they neglect their duties and responsibilities at home and in school.  We really bow our heads to our educators. They deserved to be called our “HEROES”.

                Everyone is remembered with the good deeds done to others and you are one of them ma’am.  Words are not enough to express our thanks for having you as our mentors.  You had a great influence and for this, we treasure every learning that we get from you ma’am- whether lessons academically or lessons in life.

                Whenever you’re in front of us teaching, you smiles, kind and gentle words inspire us more to listen and bring the best in us. We enjoyed your class very much for the every activity that we had were very challenging and most importantly, you were always there to guide us.  The way you treated everyone fairly, made us more confident in you.  Ma’am you are a true role model to students for you have the qualities of a good teacher.

                Many students will still pass through your hands and for sure you’ll also touch their lives.  Thank you ma’am, you’re such a nice and wonderful teacher.

My Most Valuable Parents

Parents play a very important role in every child’s life.  Their guidance is such a great responsibility on their part.  As a daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Expedito Abinoja, I realized that becoming a parent is hard.

For the past fifteen years, they have been doing a lot of things not just for me but also for our family.  They really have given a lot of sacrifices- supporting all the needs of our family.  They don’t even have time to fixed up their selves and enjoy life.  With that reason, I idolized them so much for that wonderful or special quality they have.

As a fifteen year-old student, I do believe that my parents deserve to be called my HERO whether for a reason, a season or a lifetime.  They really have proven it not just once but often times.  I am so lucky to have a parents like them- MY MOST VALUABLE PARENTS.
