     We went on an exciting journey into the world of estudyantepreneurship. It all started with a fun movie that showed us how students like us can come up with cool ideas and make them real. Watching those stories taught us that we can do big things no matter how young we are.     After the movie, we got to taste some yummy treats made by students. They served us graham balls, puto, and tasty juice. Every bite and sip showed us how much passion and hard work went into making them. It was awesome to see students doing such cool things!                                                                                            ...

The Ilocos Sur Festival is a big deal for locals, a time when everyone gathers to celebrate their culture. In 2024, I got to be part of the fun, and it was amazing. Let me share my experiences: joining a fun run, enjoying concerts, and hitting up the carnival.      One cool thing about the festival was the fun run. It wasn't just about running; it was about being part of a big group of people who were all excited to be there. My friend and I joined in, and it felt great to be part of something bigger than just us. It didn't matter who you were or where you came from; we were all in it together, having a good time and staying healthy. The concerts at the festival were another highlight.

Plus, it was cool to see local musicians showing off their talent. It made me proud to be part of a place with such...

     During this second quarter journey, I learned so many things. We learned about coding and how to utilize the notepad. Mrs. Evelyn helped make our lessons more understandable. This subject enhanced my knowledge by teaching me the proper insertion of codes. Quizzes, activities, and even coding helped me improve my time management skills. These tasks helped me effectively manage my schedule. Lastly, my coding skills have improved so much.          When the second quarter began in November, we students began waking up early, showering, and eating breakfast. Despite the difficulties we had throughout the first quarter, we students continued to attend school because we wanted to study and achieve more. I recall having trouble with myself throughout my first quarter. Back then, I was thinking, "How am I going to survive this school year again?" Now that we're in the second quarter, I've accepted the challenges of school.  As a student who ...
