The reason things stay the same is because we stay the same. For things to change, we must change. ~
Lately, I have been struggling with the issue of change. Specifically, I am looking at one area of our school that I believe has become a vicious cycle of despair for both our staff and students — homework. Teachers assign it. Students don’t complete it. Grades drop. Frustration levels rise. It is a system that is not working. My purpose in writing this post is not to address ideas related to my “homework” quandary (although I would be appreciative of your suggestions). Instead, I would like to focus on reflection and change, and the role that a professional learning network plays in this process.Both tweets allude to an inherent danger in the change process…the tendency to assume that change begins with someone else. It is so easy to believe that “we” are doing the right things and that it is “them” that needs to change.
These are not easy questions — being brutally honest about our practices and committment level can cause some discomfort. In fact, I have spent a good part of the last several months scrambling to feel like anything is working, and believe me, I have been pushed and challenged on many issues. But, I also know that meaningful change begins with me…and with you. For things to change for the better, we must change.

Kannawidan: The Ylocos Festival
Ilocos Sur has a rich heritage and unique culture. However, it is observed that many of these traditions, songs, dances and other Ilocano culture are no longer familiar with younger generations. There is a need to preserved our rich heritage and unique culture. With this in mind, the provincial government of Ilocos Sur has conceived a festival that highlights this culture and traditions and attract local and foreign tourist as well. Dubbed the Kannawidan Ylocos Festival, it is also a commemoration of the anniversary of Ilocos Sur as a province.

Equal Rights, Equal Opportunity
Everyone of us has the right and opportunity to do what they want to do in their entire life. What are the rights and opportunities of a person? Is it important to have their own rights and opportunities?
Having a right and opportunity is very important in our life because it serves as the key to us so that we will have a good life someday. We have the right to do what we want to do in our life and the right to finish our studies someday. Eventhough, we are poor we still have the opportunity to make our life better and someday we become rich. And the opportunity to show to the people that we can do good things in our country.
Equal right and equal opportunity is meant to everyone to have the equal chance and to have a good decision making for their own life.

Resonding Climate Change
What is climate? Why climate changes? How can we help prevent climate change?
Climate is the average weather condition in a place over a long period of time. Climate changes beacause of the change in amount of solar energy received. It is also because of the volcanic dust and air pollution ffrom the vehicles. One of the causes of a change in climate is when human activities pollute the air or destroy the forest. To prevent climate change we should be more environment friendly . We should not destroy or cut the trees from the forest to prevent climate change and also we avoid flash floods and landslides. It is also better if we dont burn the plastucs or styro becasue it is one of the reason why the air is polluted.
Climate change for several reasons but the change is very slow and takes a long time to happen.

Chemistry deals with matter and the changes that take place in matter. Scientist all over the world are usually driven to uncover more of life's mysteries through careful observation, experimentation, and sound analysis. They base their preliminary processes on models or ideas, some of which are products of accidental discoveries. The study of chemistry is truly an interesting subject. With your knowledge of chemistry, you can explain physical as well as biological events inside or outside our body. Chemistry can also help us understand the things we use at home.
