        On the 22nd of March 2025, the Ilocos Sur National High School celebrated its 123rd Founding Anniversary. I will always treasure whatever happened. All the sweats during practice for our field demo was worthwhile.

Though, we didn’t win but it was a good experience. The laughter, the cooperation, and all the energy we poured into every step made it all worth it. It was more than just a performance or a contest—it was a moment of unity, a memory to hold onto.

          The day was filled with excitement, from the simple parade to the lively performance, my fellow students cheering, banners waved high, LGBTQ flags are also waved and proudly represented, and everyone moved as one. The spirit of Ilocos Sur National High School was alive in every step of the dance. Winning didn’t matter as much as the bond we built and the joy we shared. Everyone was happy.

         For me, it is important that we treasure and celebrate every bit of the school. It is more than a tradition, it is a tribute to the school’s long history of excellence. It also reminds us of the generations before us-who walked through these halls, studied in these classrooms, and built the legacy we now carry onward. It is to mark how far ISNHS has come and all that is to come in the bright future that awaits. Being part of this celebration made me see that I am not just a student-I am part of a legacy; I am part of something that will continue long after I leave.
