"MY DREAM, MY FUTURE"

            Dreams are successions of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep The content and purpose of dreams are not definitively understood, though they have been a topic of scientific speculation, as well as a subject of philosophical and religious interest, throughout recorded history. The scientific study of dreams is called neurology.

             When we were still young, many of us have our own dream. And that dream is our inspiration when we grow older.

             When I was still a elementary student my dream is to become a nurse someday but then, when I were enter in high school life my dream is to become a accountant but when I'm in fourth year I thought that accountant is not my line. So, I say to my self that HRA is the course I want to get cause that is in my mind.

"CHANGE":It starts with me

               Everything starts from small things or an easier one. So change must starts from ourselves first.
       Days are passing while we are growing and a lot of things are changing.Change is the solution of our problem. If we want to become better and improve, we must change especially the bad things and our bad attitudes. Change can help us to reach our dreams and goals in life. As a youth I have to change a lot of things, my lifestyle and my attitude. And I hope by doing this I can say that I am a better person I will be happy and contented.

Change is also the solution to all the problems of our country that are facing right now such as corruption, poverty and many more. Our leaders should change their way in governing our country so that our country will become progressive.

Change must starts from us-youth because we are the hope of our country.

     We celebrated Kannawidan in Ylocos Sur because this is very popular in our Province.

"NEW YEAR, NEW ME"

     Every year,we will celebrate new years day. And every year we have our own new years resolution but the others can't have. New year is the time to change ourselves in the past years.


     I say goodbye 2011, but we can not deny that we're getting old because year 2012 comes. Everybody is thinking for a better or change called "RESOLUTION", from the word "re" means "again" and "solution" means "to solve". But I can not make my resolution this year because in the past years, I can not do it well so, better I can not make my resolution this year. Even if I can not had my own new years resolution this year, I have to develop or improve myself to be a good citizen in our country, to develop my skills and to become more responsible to my works.


     So, we need to change for the goodness, develop and for the improvement of our beloved country, not only in our country but also the whole world.

"MOTHER TONGUE"

     Mother tongue is the language first learned by a person and a language from which another has evolved or in short this is the native language.

     

  This means, mother tongue is the first language we learn we were still young. Like me, when I was young, my first language is Iloco, because I live in Ilocos Sur and my parents are speaking Iloco language. So, they were the first who taught me Iloco language. However language is the greatest invention of man. Without this mother tongue we can not understand what the other people saying.

    So, if there is no language there is no communicating, understanding and developing in our country.

"CLIMATE CHANGE"

      Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions or the distribution of events around that average. Climate change may be limited to a specific region or may occur across the whole Earth.

       Climate changes in response to changes in the global energy balance. On the broadest scale, the rate at which energy is received from the sun and the rate at which it is lost to space determine the equilibrium temperature and climate of Earth. This energy is then distributed around the globe by winds, ocean currents, and other mechanisms to affect the climates of different regions. The effects of climate change are the warm weather, fire, el nino, thunderstorm, and many more.
           According to the NASA reports, that by the next 10 months, earth gets hotter by 4 degrees from now. Himalayan glaciers are melting at rapid rate. Our climate is changing drastically and it's getting worst.

        So, we have to protect our environment for us not to suffer this calamities or disaster. And we must help fight Global Warming by plant more trees, don't waste water, water is precious, use cloth bag instead of plastic.

"Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities: Progress For All"

            IN order to build a great democratic, just, fair and humane society, it is of utmost importance to arouse the broad masses of our people to join the struggle that will ensure "equal rights, equal opportunities and progress for all".

            Genuine equality between women and men, girls and boys can only be realized in the process of a just, fair and humane transformation of our society as a whole. There is need to educate ourselves and others to take a more correct view of women and to actively redress the injustices done to women in all our institutions - the Church, state and family. Women are a backbone of our families and play major roles in our economy, especially in rural areas. The life and health of women are of central importance to the future development of our nation. This being the case, the calls for the true empowering of women to enable them to participate in decision making in our society need to be heeded. And men should be more involved in promoting women's rights. Advancement will not go very far unless women and girls are enabled to enjoy the same rights and opportunities as men and boys. Women must be represented at decision-making levels in both economics and politics, to sustain ably achieve development goals. Women also have the right and duty to take part in the political and administrative work of our nation. Women possess full equality and dignity and have a significant role to play in the affairs of our country. Woman is the creator of a courage that will never abandon the suffering. Woman is more defenseless physically. This fact points out the singular barbarity of their being subjected to domestic violence and to the criminal activities of rapists. It shows that barbarity for what it is.

            This realization demands a total rupture with the prevailing patriarchal system in order to build an egalitarian society. The women's struggle is deeply connected with efforts of all the poor who are struggling for their uplift in all aspects of life.
