As Usual

Nothing significant happened to my weekdays the week ago. In fact, they were just like those typical days that I had dealt with. It started with my Military Science class in Sunday and it went to my Monday, Tuesday then to my busy Wednesday and then to my boring Thursday. It ended, however, with a different Friday when it became a “free” Friday for me because of the suspension of classes. It was so different from my typical Fridays when I usually have to attend three consecutive classes in the morning and two more in the afternoon, not to mention the tedious tasks that I have to be patient about plus the growling stomach that I inevitably encounter in my mid-morning and mid-afternoon classes. My daily routines were also the usual things. I woke up six in the morning, took a bath and packed up my things needed for school. And at night, I did my homework, did a little advanced reading and finally went to bed at about 9 in the evening. These happened all throughout the week, that is, no disparity at all. And I expect that this will happen again this week. This must be the reason why I sometimes feel bored of this strict schedule that I impose to myself, and that I feel nothing so significant in my days even there is really something to note of. Nevertheless, I do not think too much of it because, just as how I got used to my daily schedule last semester, I believe that soon enough I ‘ll get used to this new one. As of now, mind set is what I need to see that there are things in my days that are significant such as the fact that I’m still surviving in this new place and most importantly the life that He has been giving me.

This must be enough for now. Time is running and I still have to go with my schedule. I hope you have enjoyed the read.

Tagum City National High School(TCNHS): The school of beauty and brains

Beauty and Brains - these are only two of the hundreds and thousands of things that best describe the school where I spent my four fruitful high school years.

No one can deny that the place where my school is situated is very conducive for students to learn and compete at very best. The site alone only shows how strategic it is for classes, conferences and even for field trips. In fact, last year, 4 schools in Davao City visited our school for their educational tour. It was these schools’ choice to pick TCNHS among others because they found that the school provided the tools which would let the students know biodiversity outside the four walls of the classroom. Our school is also a “hotspot” for hosting big academic events such as Division as well as Regional Quiz Bees. This year, TCNHS will hold the National Press Conference for secondary students – an event in which students from different regions in the country will gather and express their journalistic skills in writing. This is something that our school must be really proud of especially that it will mark a history in the province as being the first school to host such big contest.

For years, Tagum City National High School has been renowned as one of the best schools in the country, not only because of its being a conducive place for learning but also for its being known in yielding successful graduates for almost 30 years already. There are myriad in successful engineers, businessmen and even politicians in the country who have owed TCNHS a lot. They would not have reached what they have now and they would not even have the character that made them land a job if they were not taught of this school of the best learning it could give to its students. It is indeed something that these professionals must always take note of that TCNHS deserves praises from them for having inculcated the quality education to their minds.

But TCNHS does not just teach the students and send them off in a much wider world as good students, it also sends the students to different competitions and make them excel in that. This is possible because the school’s magnificent three-storey building founded on a rigid ground serves as a home for students where their minds are geared with proper learning characters and disciplines. As a result, the students excel in different fields of competition. From academic to cultural, up to sports, TCNHS have produced significant number of students who have excelled in these fields. Not to mention the school’s record as one of the top secondary schools nationwide that have been getting remarkable ratings in National Secondary Assessment Test (NSAT) yearly, which only proves that the students and the school in general have really something to show off.

Indeed Tagum City National High School is incomparable. No one can ever find other schools like this. Wherever you go, Tagum City National High School remains to be the only one in the country that is known for being an institution of great achievements, and that no matter how other schools try to emulate it, still no one can copy its unique beauty and brains tnat have been glowing since ages now.
