My dream,My Future

All of us have a dream, a dream in life in which we all want it to achieve. And a dream that may lead us to a life which we long to live with the years of our existence. A unique life that no can control and contradict the way you want your life to be. It is in everybody’s hand to have dreams and can freely fulfill them.

It’s almost 4 years that I am staying here at Ilocos Sur National High School, studying for my secondary level and in 2 months I will be marching and receiving my certificate of graduation. A certificate which signifies the difficulties at this stage that I was able to pass through my patience and perseverance. This is now the fruit of my hardships for this level of schooling. As soon as this school year ends I will step on my college life at SLU and getting closer as I am going to fulfill my dreams in life. This dream is the reason why I am doing my best in my studies. A dream in which I want my life be a comfortable and a progress one. Being a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) is my dream in life. With this, I am sure that all of my other dreams including the kind of life that I want to have will be achieve.

This is my dream in life. I hope that the day that I am wishing for will come into me. I do hope also that brighter days go with me all the time. This is my dream and my future depends on this dream of mine.

Change: It Starts With Me

Change is the one constant in life. As time passes by, everything changes. No one can control the changes that are happening in our humanity. Changes in which it may be for the betterment of everybody or destruction of an entity. But one must know and learn to adapt with this amendment that may come into our being.

At the moment, one may say that she is now contented with what she have or what she is right now. She doesn’t need a change in her life and she’s happy being with it. But all I can say is that life is not just like that, things alter in every day in our years of existence. Those features that you’re living and your usual deeds will vary. When you want to change the bad side of the humanity, it is really hard. So we first need discipline in ourselves. A kind of discipline in which it will be the reason to have progress and difficulties will soon come to an end. Even those little yet functional things we do everyday, it will contribute a lot for the mankind.

That’s the change that I want to be, a change in which everybody will be benefitted. A change in which it starts with me and soon every life will be in a good hand. I hope that it will come someday.

Kannawidan: Ylocos Festival

Ilocos Sur is known to be one of the provinces which generate distinct kinds of products. With these products, one town is identified with the other towns. Through the uniqueness of each entity, one is unusual and immense as the other. And when these products unite together, it creates a striking image on the oneness of the area.
