My NCAE and Periodical Experiences

NCAE or National Career Assessment Examination was given nationwide yesterday, August 27, 2008. This examination was given exclusively to the fourth year high school students and aims to find out in which field an individual will excel. For our batch, it was given yesterday and I can proudly tell that we surpased the examination with ease and confidence. Through this experience I've learned a lot of things. One of which is the importance of knowing the instructions and following them. Another is giving importance to the lessons we attain every single day of our lives. These learnings also come with my experiences in our very first Periodical Test as a senior student.

Though our Periodical Test and NCAE were held successfully we faced many problems along the way. In our Periodical Test, I really had a hard time in reviewing all the lessons in each subject and when we took the exams I was really pressured by the very short time span in taking the exams. For the NCAE, I was somewhat bored in the very long time of silence. Some of my roomates even have to start all over again because they had interchange their answer sheets. We had faced much difficulties but I'm glad and overwhelmed that I was ablr to surpass them all.

With all these problems in head, it was really hard to concentrate but I made it a point to atleast give solutions to them. For my reviewing problems, I made my own schedule or time-out-line for my reviews. In this way I can concentrate with the subject and ingest most of the lessons. For the short time span in taking the Periodical Test I made sure that I read as fast as I could but still with understanding and if ever I face a hard question I skip it first and just get back to it if I still have time. For our NCAE, I really concentrated with the exams and I listened, read and followed all the instructions given to avoid further problems.

Moving on I will put into heart all the lessons I've acquired thus applying it to my daily life. Further more I will continue to study hard and strive further for a batter future for me to be able to reach my goals and ambitions.

Only in this school-year 2008-2009 have I studied here in Ilocos Sur National High School and is also my first time to stay here in Ilocos Sur for good. Since it is my first time, I had acquired many new learnings and experiences. I experienced to go to the famous tourist spots here in Vigan that I only see at pictures back those days. I learned to appreciate the beauty of Iloco Arts. I also learned the culture of the Ilocanos are way far off to those in Manila. But though greatly different, I learned to give importance to each in the same level.

As my stay here in Ilocos Sur prolonges, I also face much difficulties and conflicts as well. I have to admit that the culture change and adopting to one is really difficult. And since I can't understand the Ilokano dialect more conflicts and problems arises. There come times where misunderstanding prevails bacause of the language barrier between me and my classmates., It greatly affects my relationship to the people surrounding me. And honestly speaking, until now it's my major problem that still remains unsolved.

As these conflicts and difficulties arrive, I try my best to meet their possible solutions. I'm trying to adopt to most of these changes and respect the others which contradict to those whom I believe in the span of time I stayed in Manila. I'm doing my very best to learn their dialect though I know it will take me a long time, still I'll be doing the best I can and I'll still be giving the best I could. And these remains to the future problems I'm about to face.

Moving on I will continue to accept new learnings from the society I'm now living in. I will respect their culture and adopt to them if possible. But my old beliefs still remain. Those belief that I know in my mind and in my heart will remain wherever I go.

My Learning Experience in ICT IV

From June to July many informations were given to us, many learning each of us had acquired. such of which are the what is Internet, its history and of course its uses and applications. we were also informed on how to mine the net using different search engines. Through these discussions we were fully informed on how the Internet works and how to use it properly. But the most exciting and most interesting part of this grading period was our project regarding the arts and culture of Vigan. through this project we were enlightened with the beauties of our arts and culture that we should be really be proud of.

Many learnings were given to us specially from the hand-outs that were given as additional source of information, since it tackles about the significant personalities and events that made a great contribution on the development of the Internet, we had a hard time in memorizing and ingesting them. With regards to our project, we also had a very difficult time in researching and taking good shots. And because there was competition within the different groups we really gave our best in making our research work as beautiful and as significant as our arts and culture here in Vigan.



With regards to these problems, I really tried my very best to overpass them. With regards to the in formation-overflow, me and my classmates really spend time in memorizing and really understanding each information that was given. We did our best to make these studies stay in our mind and gladly it turned out good for me and for my classmates. With our project, we really researched and worked hard to give fully organize information regarding our topic. We made different shots of the arts, monuments and historical places here in Vigan so that those who will read our report can clearly visualize the beauty of our very own Vigan. Through this project we were able to yield our cooperation, creativity, resourcefulness and most of all our perseverance to give and attain facts that will flourish the appreciation of the arts and culture of our province.



Moving on I will continue to cherish all the good traits that we were able to acquire in our experiences here in our computer subject. Unity, cooperation, creativity, resourcefulness and perseverance are the traits that I will continue to use in any subject, field or event I engage in my life. Thus, through these characteristics I know success is just a step away.
