EXPLOIT OUR NATIVE DIALECT FOR A STRONGER INSTRUMENT IN PURSUING THE BRILLIANCE OF OUR COUNTRY

          “Everybody has a right to pronounce foreign names as he chooses” (Winston Churchill). But, is it tolerable to love more the foreign vernaculars than our own? Currently, Filipinos more prefer to use other language for them to be called standardized persons. There’s no such harm in having it, but we must not fail to remember the place where we foremost mould.

          Sa kabila ng pighati’t katagumpayan, may nag-iisang wika na kaakibat ng bawat sangkatauhan at sa pagtahak ng napipintong daan palihis sa kabalukturan. Napaparap ng isang kabataan tulad ko ang atmosperang  lumilibot sa Perlas ng Silanganan na animo’y isang kidlat na kay bilis impluwensyahan ng wikang banyaga ang bawat Pilipino. Katutubong wika na tumitipon sa bawat Pilipino upang magkapit bisig sa pintig ng iisang layunin, ang mapaangat ang bansa. Gaano man karami ang alam na wika ng isang bayan, ang tunay na kaunlaran ay nakasalalay sa tamang paggamit nito, sa kakayahan, tunay na pagkakaisa at disiplina ng lahat ng mga mamamayan nito.

          “The accent of one’s birthplace lingers in the mind and in the heart as it does in one’s speech” (Francois la Rochefoucould). We must not mortify what we have. Let’s ought to be proud that we are Filipinos. Everybody have to clasp one’s hand for stillness, triumphant and brilliant country throughour native language, Wikang Filipino.

Facing the reality...

          As I undergo the journey through the end of the school year, I can’t picture that I’m already 4^th year. Almost four years of being part in ILOCOS SUR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL. First quarter had finish and in the other hand I am nearly graduating. But, instead of taking fear on the coming graduation, I will just enjoy what’ present… But let me start the things which put me into a better and more wholesome facts and ideas about the world.  

          What I’d learned during the first quarter? I’d learned random things, like English proficiency, manipulating computers by means of internet, deeper words, angles and many more. I know that this learning’s where not only for high school years but also for a lifetime.

          During my previous days in school, I can’t deny the consequences in my studies. No. 1 is the assignments that made me sleep late during nights but I’m not saying that there’s must not have an assignments. It’s just making me feeble. And another was I don’t have a lot of references to refer on during discussions.

But I know, I can do these. Facing again another grading was to be accepted. Facing the reality that I will nearly graduate.
