"Uniting for Equality: Building an Inclusive Society Together"

 The theme of "WE for Gender Equality and an Inclusive Society" emphasizes how crucial group efforts are to establishing a society in which equality is a reality rather than only an ideal. It highlights that gender equality is a human issue that demands the work and dedication of every person, regardless of gender or background, and is not only a problem for women.

At its heart, the theme underscores that real change comes from unity. The word "WE" signals a call to action, urging people to work together to break down the systems of inequality that have historically oppressed women and marginalized groups. It invites everyone to play an active role in challenging stereotypes, confronting discrimination, and amplifying voices that have been silenced. 

Gender acceptance and equality must coexist; they cannot exist apart. Everyone has an equal chance to prosper in an inclusive society, regardless of gender, color, ethnicity, or ability. The rights of all people are at stake here, not just those of women. Society as a whole is stronger, more diversified, and more inventive when we establish an atmosphere where everyone is respected and given equal opportunity.

Achieving this vision requires more than just awareness; it demands action. Whether through supporting women in leadership, addressing pay disparities, or advocating for policies that promote equity, we each have a role to play. Only by coming together as a collective force can we create lasting change. The theme reminds us that gender equality and inclusivity are not just goals to strive for during special occasions, like Women’s Month, but values to live by every day.

The statement "WE for Gender Equality and an Inclusive Society" concludes by issuing a strong appeal to action for everyone to join in the quest of a more just and equitable society. Together, we can dismantle obstacles and create a society in which everyone may live freely, fairly, and with dignity.

From Struggles To Success!

 Exploring the world of computers has been the focus of this fourth quarter. We have discussed a wide range of topics, including network configuration, computer system (CSS) issues, and security. Making webpages with Microsoft FrontPage. It's been really fascinating, but occasionally difficult as well.

However, as they say hardships help to shape a person's character. I was able to stay focused in spite of everything. I started creating very comprehensive schedules that outlined exactly what I needed to accomplish and when. And I didn't think twice about asking my teachers for help when I was stuck. Although it was difficult, I eventually started to fit in.

I'm happy to share that, in the future, I've become stronger this quarter. I've gained important knowledge about time management, resiliency, and the value of seeking help when necessary. I've come to understand that even the most difficult obstacles can be overcome with perseverance and resolve.

I am more ready than ever as I look forward to the next phase of my academic career. Along with the knowledge I've gained this year, I'm prepared to take on whatever senior high has in hand. Maybe the upcoming quarter may provide even more opportunity for self-improvement and lessons learned.

A Day Filled with Joy

 The experiences of the EstudyaNTEPRENEUR was amazing and fun. However, i had to rely on what was said of my classmates and the documentation to gain a sense of what happened because I was unable to attend the event. They told me that there were many booths exhibiting various TLE specialties, including ICT, Agriculture, Cookery, Electricity, and Dressmaking.

My classmates said, there were many thrilling attractions at the occasion. Students have access to a freedom wall where they could express their opinions and a picture booth in the SPTVE area. One of the highlights was a student-led film premiere at the PAGCOR building, demonstrating the ability of young brains to bring ideas to life.

Students have the opportunity to discover their talents, learn the fundamentals of business, and develop self-confidence during the EstudyaNTREPRENEUR event. It served as a reminder that anybody can make something significant for the future if they have the necessary skills and enthusiasm.

15 Years Apart

    Considering where I could be in 15 years is incredible. At the moment, I am 16 years old, a grade 10 student, and enrolled in a special science class, which is where my interest in medicine truly began to blossom. I aspire to be a doctor, and although I am just beginning my journey, I am aware that it will be filled with challenges, exciting moments, and hard work.

     In 15 years, I envision myself working in a hospital, helping people feel better and making a real difference in their lives. Being a doctor entails more than just knowing how to treat diseases; it also entails listening to people, understanding their needs, and demonstrating compassion. I envision myself working with patients, explaining their conditions, and assisting them in making health-related decisions.

      As of now, I know I have to concentrate on my academics, particularly in science areas such as biology and chemistry. These disciplines will serve as the foundation for all I need to study. I also know I'll have to push myself to keep improving, whether it's via extra practice, learning more, or discovering new ways to improve as a person.

     Being the profession that i want won't always be easy, there will be times when I feel fatigued or uncertain about the future. But I feel that if I stay focused and keep my objective in mind, I will be able to overcome these challenges. The road to becoming a doctor will need many years of study and hard work, but I am prepared to tackle it one step at a time.

    I want to look back in 15 years and see how all of my little efforts in school and beyond have added up to something amazing. I'm looking forward to the future, the individuals I'll meet, and the opportunity to serve others as a doctor. Even though my dream is just getting started, I already have a strong desire to see it through to completion.

Colorful Day!

  1st, for me, the 123rd High School Day celebration at ISNHS will never be forgotten. I was really excited about the parade and the field demo. Another pleasure of the day was being able to walk with my friends and students, all of whom were bursting with enthusiasm, as we participated in the procession. It was great to be a part of such a large event, and the mood was energetic. I will never forget the unique experience of taking part in the celebration.

2nd, the experience was worthwhile despite the fact that our team did not win the title. We performed to the best of our abilities, and the encouragement we got from everyone made us feel successful. We were proud of what we accomplished, and the excitement and enjoyment of the day were more significant than winning. Even though we didn't win the award, everyone's hard work was appreciated. It demonstrated to me that the real meaning of High School Day is to enjoy the trip rather than focus on winning.

3rd, the purpose of annually celebrating High School Day is to pay tribute to ISNHS's past and accomplishments. It serves as a reminder of our progress and the rich history of the institution. Students, instructors, and alumni all feel united and proud of one another as a result of the event. It's how we honor the principles of community, determination, and hard work that define our school. High School Day serves as a reminder of our pride in belonging to ISNHS and goes beyond simple celebration.

Pink roses are the purest

Hearts Day. For some reason, it's all about hearts, flowers, and expensive dinners. For me, it's always been a little different. I'm more of a "spend with family, friends or my love oney" kind of person, and this year was no exception. My focus was on my self and loving my self more.

💓

In the morning, i started to wake up at 6:30 in the morning and getting ready to go to school– It set the tone for a day that felt exciting.

The most meaningful thing I did was giving my friends and my family a flower, i gave them flowers as a form of giving thanks to them and loving them genuinely. It was important because they are part of my life and i cared about them.

💖

Another thing I did to show I cared when my love of my life gave me flowers and i received it by his cousin, yes from his cousin because he's not here with me to celebrate Valentine's Day but it was all fine. The flowers that he gave me are my favorite flowers which is "Pink Roses". This actually mattered to me because even we're apart, he still managed to give me flowers and show his affection for me, I am really thankful for having him in my life.

💗

The day was about appreciating things and loving each other day by day and giving flowers to love ones everyday not just Valentine's Day, to show that you care and love that person and how important that person to your life.

💕

So yeah, my Valentine's Day wasn't about a dozen roses or a fancy restaurant. It was about showing love in a way that felt pure and meaningful, and a lot of memories were created. And that's what made it special for my Valentine's Day. ⁠♡

💘

Closing the Chapter: Q3 Reflections

This quarter has been a whirlwind of learning! I've discovered the fascinating world of HTML tags and how they're the building blocks of web pages. I started with the basics – understanding how tags work, how to create headings, paragraphs, and links. Then, I moved on to more complex elements like images, tables, and forms. The most exciting part was learning how to structure content using nested and un-nested lists. I now understand how to create organized and visually appealing lists to present information effectively. I can now confidently create simple, yet functional web pages.

Initially, remembering all the different HTML tags and their attributes was a challenge. The syntax can be a bit tricky, and it was easy to make mistakes, like forgetting closing tags or misplacing attributes. I also struggled with properly nesting lists. Debugging my code was sometimes frustrating, especially when dealing with unexpected display issues. I tackled the challenge of remembering HTML tags by simply creating flashcards and using online resources. When I encountered errors, I used the browser's developer tools to inspect the HTML and identify the source of the problem. I also found that working through tutorials and examples helped me grasp the concepts better. For nested lists, I started with simple examples and gradually increased the complexity.

Moving forward, I plan to explore more advanced HTML concepts, such as semantic HTML, CSS for styling, and JavaScript for interactivity. I want to build more complex and visually appealing web pages, i will also continue practicing regularly, focusing on improving my debugging skills and deepening my understanding of HTML's structure and semantics. I aim to explore responsive web design principles to ensure my web pages are accessible across different devices.
