Small Steps Matter (Thematic Output)

    In a world filled with the beauty of nature, there's also a side where negativity exists—climate change, rising sea levels, deforestation, pollution, and habitat loss are just a few of these challenges. However, we, the people experiencing these issues, have the power to make a change. As a student and a member of the Science Club, I've participated in activities that help improve the environment, and we aim to continue these efforts to make the world a better place.

    Recently, the Science Club and YES-O organized a tree-planting activity in celebration of National Science Club Month. This event, held in collaboration with the Science Department and officials from Barangay Marcos District, Santa, Ilocos Sur, had a positive impact on the environment. Tree planting helps reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, combats climate change, prevents soil erosion, and provides a habitat for wildlife.

    Of course, planting trees isn’t the only way we can contribute to protecting our environment. The SSLG also led a Campus Clean-Up Drive where all clubs and affiliates of Ilocos Sur National High School took part. We cleaned up our designated areas and collected trash. This simple act helped in creating a cleaner and healthier school environment.

     

    However, we don’t need to be part of an organization to make a difference. As individuals, we can contribute to the environment through small actions. As shown in the pictures, by simply picking up trash and cleaning our surroundings, I am already contributing. Imagine if we all made these efforts a part of our daily lives!

                                

    Each of us must take action to address the environmental challenges we face. By doing so, we can reduce the negative impacts and preserve the beauty of our world, but it starts with each one of us making a contribution.

A Rollercoaster Feeling (REFLECTION)

   

    The first quarter has truly felt like a rollercoaster. In just two months, I’ve gained valuable lessons that helped me navigate the ups and downs. I learned to manage my time better and take on more responsibilities as a student leader. I realized that taking small steps each day can help me grow and improve myself. In our ICT subject, I gained new knowledge, particularly in creating my own website and managing blogs. This helped me express myself better through writing, making the rollercoaster ride more enjoyable.

     

    However, the ride wasn’t always smooth. I struggled with managing my time since I had responsibilities both in school and in our club. Even though it’s only the first quarter, we were already overloaded with schoolwork, and the shortened schedule made it harder to adjust. Last month, we celebrated National Science Club Month, which added more tasks and made my schedule even more hectic. This left me feeling overwhelmed and stressed, often causing mental blocks while working on my blogs and making it difficult to balance my school and personal responsibilities.

    But I knew I wouldn’t enjoy the ride if I let these difficulties take over, so I took action. I created a more effective schedule for handling both personal and academic duties. I also set daily goals to help me improve step by step. These changes helped reduce the burden I was feeling.

    Now, to keep the ride smooth, I’ll continue improving how I manage my time and tasks, staying focused and organized. I’ll also challenge myself to push my limits and seize every opportunity to grow and learn in the upcoming quarters.
