"What Does It Take To Be An I.C.T. Student?"

          Technology has immense power to transform learning in and beyond the classroom and educational decision-makers need to address, understand and define the relationship between technology and improved learning, so that the market within education is not exploited for commercial gain only. Many of us, especially youth would want to have his/her gadget. Because of different technologies that are being made by people, our works are becoming faster and easier.
           ICT literacy will impact on educational traditions. The new habits of young people, shaped by ICT, will need to be incorporated into how they teach and they learn. Just as we have issues of literacy and numeracy facing our young people, the concept of information literacy will gain increasing currency. We need to ensure that concepts of understanding, judgments, discrimination, and communication are applied to what is available through ICT. ICT for me, is very much important to our life, though it is just like hard to get, because we will be able to catch up with the happenings of this generation. Being one of the ICT students of the present school year, it helps me to have more knowledgeable ideas in advance. It is really a big help for me, because it also helps me to gain more knowledge about the different technologies. There are many benefits and advantages of catching up with this one. But some other people, used to have it, and they don't even how to use it. Learning ICT with very much pleasure is very much important and appreciated by those teachers who are a part of the ICT, because they are the one who teach us in their very best for us to be able to know how to use different topics which we may use even when we have already reach our adulthood.
          As an ICT student, it is very important to know that ICT is much important because it helps motivate us, students and even teachers. Never lose the opportunity not to miss this ICT because without technologies, our works would not go easier and faster. Many of the people of today, are being inspired because they would want to learn more and gain more knowledge about this. ICT is a very big help for us, so, we should not waste much time to those things not that really important, instead, we must study hard for our own sake and to have experience in this ICT, because it is really exciting and I assure that we can all be a successful one in the future with the use of this.

"My Dream, My Future"

          Every person of a single hour used to think his future. All of us have different ambitions and wants in life which we may prefer to be more responsible enough to be serious in our studies most especially to the youth who are studying, and even children who are not that so familiar with this and in their life as a youth of this generation and likewise for the coming of more generations. It is very important that while we are still young, we know now if what our needs, wants, goals in life.
          When I was still young, my mother told me that people who have no dreams will not fly far away. I was confused, because I was still a child, and for that, I didn't actually understood what that mean. And for now, because of those words my mother told me, I am definitely inspired by those, and I will never forget that one. Every night, when we go to sleep, while we are sleeping, sometimes we notice that we are dreaming, and that dream maybe a good dream, a bad dream, a scary one, and even a sweet dream. We are a good dreamers in our own abilities and skills. We have enough knowledge to think about what would be our futures in life, the right and the best way we must commit. Many of us want to be respected, like me,  but one thing I assure is that, we must respect first ourselves and others so we can be respected one. Why I'm saying this? It is because respecting everyone is very important for us, and it inspires us to become better person to the body. This is one of my dreams that in the future, I will be bringing as an ordinary human.
          Like other people, aside from what I want, which is that to be respected, I have also a dream, which I want to become in the future. My vision for the future entails many goals that I know I will have to work hard to achieve. I feel that the path to accomplishing my goals will be though hard work within my education.  My formal education is a factor that has been the basis for my success throughout primary school and high school. I believe that it will continue to be the tool that will lead me to success in the future. My first and foremost plan is to graduate from high school. I consider this to be a huge accomplishment considering that many people don't make it that far.
          And for that, I want to try my very best in order for me to become a successful person someday, because no one would want to become unsuccessful in life, and if ever I'll fail and have problems, especially with my studies, I will keep on dreaming to overcome those problems and I'll keep believing that I will be having a good future. I will always think positive that I will be able to achieve all my goals and dreams in life.

"Change: It Starts With Me!"

          We all want change, aren't we? For the past decades or years of existence in our lives, some of us definitely not yet contented with what we have and with who we are. We actually realize that our life is full of mysteries. We are really enjoying ones life to the fullest that we can and to the best that we can share and give to everyone.
          By the way, what is a change? What is the importance of being changed, as a human being? What does it take to become a better person, or what is its advantage in our life if we want for a change? Well, for me, change is what we call the beginning, because every beginning has a change, and change begins with ourselves as humans. We must always say and think that every change we make, always starts in ourselves because without beginning it in our own selves, we cannot probably be en inspiration to those who are in need of that kind of a change. We are being inspired by the person who we think needs a change to become a better person.
          Everyone of us wants to change with regards to our emotions or feelings, our bad doings and attitudes, our mistakes, most especially, into good, and we probably want to make them right. As a teenager in this generation, there are many things that I am dealing with, just got to be able to change. As I begin to grow and develop, all I want is to be more matured especially my attitude. Every now and then, I am always pursuing in order for me to fulfill and commit that kind of change I want in my whole life as a good person and to become a better example especially to the youth today.
          So, for this, I must be considering that change is very important to our lives because it inspires many of the people who want to change, and to be more responsible human being, most especially, to the youth, it is not yet the end, there is always a time for everything, instead, we begin a change in our own selves, in the best ability that we can do, to be able to make people happy likewise to ourselves.

"KANNAWIDAN: The Ylocos Festival"

          Every place we go, there is always be different festivals which we may celebrate, especially inside our own community. Festival is an event, usually and ordinarily staged by local communities which centers on and celebrate some unique aspects of that community. It is an occasion for celebrating a day or time of religious significance that regularly recurring program of cultural performances, exhibitions and even competitions.
          KANNAWIDAN Festival of the province of Ilocos Sur is being celebrated every year. This province has a rich heritage and has also a unique culture that are to preserved for the next generations because it is observed that many of the traditions, songs, dances and other Ilocano culture are not that exactly familiar to the younger generations. Most of the children of today are more paying attention to the modern and novelty dances they seen on the televisions than in the traditional ones.  There is also a need to evaluate the different products of the different municipalities and the agricultural products and livestock of the farmers and fisher folks. Because of this, the provincial government of Ilocos Sur conceived a festival that will highlight these culture and traditions and attract local and foreign tourists as well. They call it the KANNAWIDAN Ylocos Festival, it is also a time to commemorate the anniversary of Ilocos Sur as a province. There is really so much fun if every year, we are watching the versatility of different products of the province and likewise the different highlights of this celebration. All of these are evidence that the Kannawidan Ylocos Festival is already becoming a fast rising festival in the country as shown by the number of participants and tourists who flocked and become a part of the festival. Kannawidan indeed is an attraction because it showcases the culture of Ilocanos that made them distinct from other ethnic groups of the Philippines.
          As this festivity culminates, many of the youth today are beginning to welcome this occasion as a part of the human traditions, and beginning to share knowledgeable ones, and accept that this is already a part of our lives. This KANNAWIDAN Festival is an annual festival that aims to create awareness on the preservation on the next generations. As we go through our lives, and encounter the modern ones, we should always be remembering the cultural traditions, because this is one way to forget problems, and to be happy and realize that this is very important.
