Embracing a Greener Future

Embracing a Greener Future In today's fast-paced world, the health of our planet is more crucial than ever, I mean by fast-paced many environmental problems have been happening natural or anthropogenic. Natural like the typhoon that just happened. Anthropogenic is a human activity that Environmental problems can happen, like the picture that I took.

Our world is growing faster, and because of this many things will change rapidly. As individuals, especially our young ones, we often wonder how we can make a difference. The answer lies in community engagement. By coming together, communities can lead the charge in protecting and caring for the environment. In our community, I have seen several clean-up drives that are conducted mostly by people who are members of the 4p’s program, I happen to see them cleaning in our barangay. For people who are not a member of the program, we can also help by cleaning our surroundings, we often see signage that says “Batog ko, Linis ko” and by this, we can show that we are responsible for cleaning our own surroundings. Trees and other plants are also a big help, In our Home many plants can be seen which I find quite amusing and relaxing at the same time as it produces clean and fresh air, the best time for me to admire the entrance of our home.

In our community, many trees and plants are seen everywhere. Engagement in these activities is important, we can teach each individual to be responsible, and by this, we show that our environment is truly important. By engaging communities in these activities, we not only protect our environment but also build stronger, more connected communities. Imagine the potential of a world where every neighborhood is actively contributing to a healthier planet. The journey towards sustainability is a collective effort and every small step counts. ‘Clean Environment for a Clean Future'

How's 1st Quarter? Let's Reflect and Make it Count!

     During the first quarter in I.C.T where Ma’am Vera Cruz introduced us to the world of the Internet. I have gained knowledge about the Timeline of the Internet and also all about Blogs. Growing up I never really knew the difference between vlogs and blogs and I didn’t even bother to look it up. Then we made also a blog account at www.blogger.com (jhenicekaryllemontero@blogger.com)

     I have encountered some problems there’s this one time during our hands-on activity when we were tasked to make our blog account. First, we needed to log in to our Google account, and for me, that went well, then proceeded to make our blog accounts, when I made my account I encountered troubleshooting such as I can’t open my account and I thought maybe it’s because the Wi-Fi was weak, but thankfully my classmate helped me figure it out and it all went good. When our teacher tasked us to make a blog about a certain topic, I always thought that it was challenging because I can’t write a paragraph that fast because I’m not a ‘wordy’ person and sometimes I would get a little help from the Internet about some certain words to help me write. 

      Thankfully I have a classmate who helped me with my troubleshooting business and also helped me make my blog account or truth is I only needed to View my Blog which I couldn't find on the computer. As for addressing my problem in writing, I only need to focus and hear my thoughts. Honestly, my friends helped me along the way, they're sort of an inspiration to me.

      Moving on I will continue to learn and explore more about the world of the Internet. I will carry on all the knowledge and lessons that I have learned during the First Quarter. As another quarter starts, I think of it as a journey and in the end, there will be a reward.

Happy National Teacher’s Month!

Happy National Teacher’s Month!

Teachers are the backbone of education, tirelessly working to nurture young minds, ignite curiosity, and inspire lifelong learning. Their dedication goes beyond the classroom, often serving as mentors, role models, and inspiration for their students' success and well-being.

Consider the profound impact a single teacher can have on a student's life. From fostering a love for learning to providing encouragement during challenging times, teachers play a critical role in personal and academic development. As we celebrate this special month and not only this month but everyday is teacher’s day, let's reflect on the extraordinary influence teachers have and explore ways we can support and empower them in their mission to educate and inspire the next generation.

Teachers deserved to be respected, recognized, and by coming together, we can celebrate their hard work, acknowledge their sacrifices, and express our gratitude for their unwavering commitment to shaping the future of our nation.

Towards a More Sustainable Philippines

 Towards a More Sustainable Philippines

 

The Philippines, an archipelago rich in biodiversity and natural

resources, faces significant environmental challenges increase by

climate change, deforestation, and pollution. These issues have far-

reaching impacts on both the ecosystem and the livelihood of people.

The need for a sustainable Philippines is critical, as unchecked

environmental degradation could lead to severe consequences such as

reduced agricultural productivity, loss of biodiversity, and increased

vulnerability to natural disasters. The cause of these environmental

challenges can be attributed to rapid urbanization, industrial activities,

and insufficient waste management practices.

In response to these pressing issues, various initiatives have been

undertaken by the government, non-governmental organizations, and

local communities. Policies aimed at promoting renewable energy

sources, such as solar which we use in our home and wind power, are

being implemented to reduce the country's reliance on fossil fuels.

Additionally, reforestation programs and protected areas are being

established to conserve the nation's forests and wildlife. Community-

based efforts, such as coastal clean-up drives and sustainable farming

practices, are also gaining traction, even in our beloved school ISNHS

which many clubs have been conducting clean-up drives to promote a

healthy and sustainable environment. These efforts signify a collective

move towards embracing sustainable practices and ensuring the long-

term health of the environment.

However, the path towards a sustainable Philippines is fraught with

challenges. One of the primary obstacles is the lack of sufficient funding

and resources for large-scale environmental projects. Moreover, there is

often a gap in the enforcement of environmental laws and regulations,

leading to continued illegal logging and mining activities. Public

awareness and education on environmental issues also need to be

strengthened to foster a culture of sustainability. Despite these

challenges, the commitment to creating a more sustainable Philippines

remains strong, driven by the recognition that the well-being of future

generations depends on the actions taken today. Exploring innovative

solutions and fostering collaboration across all sectors will be key to

overcoming these obstacles and achieving long-term sustainability.

Draft 2 'Dear Mr. President...'

             Dear Mr. President,

       I am writing to you to express my love for our country and my dedication to making it a better country for all of us. It is difficult for me to witness the current issues of our nation. The lack of empathy and understanding appears to undermine the sense of unity and community that is essential for a healthy, functioning society.

I’m not much of a political person, therefore, I urge you to reconsider the path we are on and to make concerted efforts to address these IN-HEAT issues such as the case of Alice Gou. I hope you do something about that case, many unanswered questions has been roaming my mind such as ‘Paano siya naka-Alice?’ ‘Where did she Gou?’ The people of this nation deserves leadership that listens to their concerns, values their rights, and strives towards a future where everyone can thrive.

                                                Sincerely,

                                Jhenice Karylle Montero August 22, 2024

                                

You Can’t Spell NICE without JHENICE

                               

 You Can’t Spell NICE without JHENICE !

 

 Hi Reader! I’m Jhenice Karylle Montero, yes my last name’s

Montero, but if you’re wondering we don’t own a Montero sports car nor 

we don’t own the car brand Montero but I wish we do tho, 

nevertheless we do have a Toyota, NICE right? I a

fifteen year old girl who lives in Malingeb, Bantay, Ilocos Sur

with my family whom I love so much. I’m that type of a

teenager that is very joyful especially with my friends, a loving

daughter, and a kind person.

Now let’s move on to my Junior High school life, I can’t believe

this is my last school year as a Junior High school student,

pretty soon I will be in Senior High school. As a lot of people

say that Junior High school is the best experience you’ll never

forget in High school, as much as possible I want that to

happen as every school year is memorable for me. In terms of

my academic performance, let’s just say I’m an average SSC

student. I get satisfied if I understand the lesson well but

sometimes I can be a slow learner which also make me willing

to learn more about a particular topic or subject. As I leave to

school every morning, I always put my mind that I’m at school

not our House which means that whenever how hard I struggle

at Home, I always find ways to be happy and put a Big smile

into my Face. --- WOW VERY NICE!!

At the end, every story ends and begins a new chapter I want to

make this school year a memorable year with my classmates,

teachers, and friends. I want to make my family proud.

Hopefully when I graduate, I’m planning to choose the STEM

Strand, previous STEM students that this strand is hard but I

always believe that no matter what your dreams are, we can

achieve it ass we believe in ourselves.

“The Future belongs to those who believe in the

beauty in their Dreams”

- NICE !!!
