Whether we like it or not, the mixed scent of graduation can already smell within the campus; it seems like it is again dripping its existence. But before we totally jump to a conclusion, let's rewind a bit...let's flashback on what had happened on my fourth grading period...
Fourth grading period, the last on the roll yet the most productive of them all. Why? Based on my keen observation, everytime we had our daily class in ICT, it was like, we always have something to do --something pain-staking, something fun and something that requires a constant patience. Obviously, I'm talking about the world of Sir Photoshop. As it gradually enters our innocent minds in terms of photo-editing, we were just like this first-timers eager to know what is that and that. If an example image turned into a high resolution one, we tend to utter the word "wow" ,"aah" and "ooh" because we deeply appreciated how it turned into a beautiful picturesque with the used of the variety of editing tools.
But as days passed by, I was now gradually in used in editing pictures. From black to white or from old to new, I can surely say that I can do that one by just doing the step-by-step procedures presented to us. Following the steps thoroughly will lead someone to a beautiful and magical result.
In the contrary, even if I was now in touch of the world of Photoshop, I think...I still considered my digital creativeness an amateur. No wonder, I didn't yet exceeded BJ's photo-editing prowess. Nevertheless, It's quite alright for me.
And now that I'll about to leave the hollowed walls of Ilocos Sur National High School, I just want to exemplify my heart- felt gratitude and sincerest thanks to our teacher, Mrs. Evelyn Vera Cruz and to our beautiful practice teacher, Ms. Daisy Pantaleon for sharpening my mind about computer ideas and for being one of the teachers whom I considered as one of the protagonist in my own novel entitled "High School Life". :)

Change, It starts with me
"There is nothing permanent except change." Sounds so cliché right? But it is so true. It does exist anywhere under the sun because change is in the very nature of being. It maybe a change in one's physical and emotional plane or a change in one's outer horizon -- in the environment we used to live, in the society we usually called as the training ground and also in the humanity we tend to get along with. Whether we like it or not, all of them undergo changes. It's just, it takes a long time for one to notice. Moreover, change had also its consequences. It is either be for the good or for the worst. Whatever might be the aftershocks it bring, there always be a point in the universe wherein we can surpass it.
Now the call for change is again bragging our hearts. I have been wondering if change is still possible. Right now, we are in need of good leaders who are always known to be the models and will lead us through the right way. I say this because, with my keen observation, I can already sense that our leaders aren't what the word "leader" ought to be--it is now beyond what it meant. I think it is enoughhh! Enough for using the nation's government, in particular, the billions of Pesos stocked in the vaults of our land to a curve direction. Enough in using other persons to outdone your actions or to do your unfavorable will. Enough in giving false vows in your speeches because others who are depending on it will be disappointed so much. Please enough...
Half-heartedly, maybe after a some point in the passage of time, they will be terminated in their positions but the dirty traces they left behind will be forever marked in the history --"Like a scar, it is hard to conceal. "
So dear future leaders--us, the young leaders of the new generation, must make an action, make a move and make a change. We must be the epitome of what Rizal had said about two centuries from now, "Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan".And we are here to prove the he did not make a mistake when he said that. Everyone of us can do something. Even though change for the betterment will never be easy, remember, there are no small steps, only big differences. Together, let us change for the betterment and we should start it from ourselves.
