A hero, that's what I am

Ding..... Dong....."Paging Doctor Martinez, you are needed in the emergency room now. "

Saving lives, bringing hope, that is what I want to be when the time comes. I am an ordinary boy with extraordinary personality. Sometimes, I call myself a superhuman. Superhuman in a way that I never give up and I never let failures take over my existence.

I dream to be a life saver someday, I may not have super powers, but i have the will power.
It is not an easy task but i will have it anyway. On call duties, paging here and there, It requires a lot of energy and takes most of your time, not to mention aging because of stress.

It has been my childhood dream to become a doctor, I wanted ti imitate my relatives who engaged themselves in the field of medicine. They say it is the most honorable job a man can have. I want to be one who does not think of the money alone, but the joy of people when they get cures and they have this raging hope flowing into their veins. I want to be one who does not think of himself alone but one who makes others know that there is always hope.

Putting my name in a pedestal, well that's at the bottom of my list. I want to be remembered not because I would be famous, but remembered because in one way or another i have been of help to people. I want to be remembered with honor.

I am not a super hero, but i am a hero. I am a great dreamer too. Remember, a song says "Even heroes have the right to dream."

Ako ang Magsisimula ng Pagbabago!

I can still remember the advocacy of the Supreme Student Government, "Ako ang Magsisimula ng Pagbabago."

The young leaders are enthusiastically saying those words over and over again. It has been said by our forefathers that the youth is the hope of our fatherland. And we are here to prove the he did not make a mistake when he said that. Everyone of us can do something. We cannot do everything but still we can contribute to the progress and betterment of the world. We oath to do something, and that is to start the change within ourselves.

Remember, there are no small steps, only big differences. We can ignite the passion and change for the better. We cannot change others, we can only change ourselves. Start living a life which is worth living. Start making differences i order to make things right and proper.

As student leaders, we are the role model of the youth. We influence them to do something good. We are the only hope. We cannot take waste the chance we have. We have to do changes now, or be regretful forever.

Keeping the Yloco Spirit Alive

You may see the Ilocanos as frugal and all but wait till you see our creativity and ingenuity.

When you go downtown near the capitol, you will see in the pedestal, KANNAWIDAN FESTIVAL. Now here we can find various products of the municipalities in the lowlands of Ilocos Sur. Each one of them has their own OTOP or the One Town, One Product.

You will be mesmerized with all the sumptuous delicacies, gorgeous clothings, enticing house decorations and things beyond your imagination. You will be stunned of how the Ilocanos create their own things. Breath taking things are surely on your way once you visit this place.

To Ilocanos, we are awfully rich in customs, rich in ideas and creativity. We can be globally competitive. Let our talents and skills be recognize, continue the nice work that has been started.

Agbiag Bigueño!

People everywhere are anticipating a grandiloquent "fiesta" ,as natives of the place say. Lights, food, and happy citizens are roaming around Vigan to witness a once in a year celebration of the Longganisa Festival.

The love for culture and tradition keeps the spirit of the event alive. The city government of Vigan hosts several competitions in connection to it. One of which is the Longganisa Street dancing which was joined by several schools and colleges from around Vigan and some municipalities of the nearby provinces. Ilocos Sur National High School of course joined the said competition.

During the night, there were celebrations and social gatherings at Plaza Burgos. During the DepED Night, one of our competent teachers one as the most outstanding secondary school teacher of the city, Mr. Edgar L. Pescador. Students also joined the Quiz Vigan where ISNHS emerged as champion with only one mistake.

Last Jan. 25, 2011, we had the grand parade. The CAT I-Unit, band and faculty of ISNHS took a walk around Vigan city.

Keeping the fire burning for traditions is one of the greatest manifestations of our love for our colorful history and country. May we all appreciate and join these wonderful activities.
