My Journey Through First Quarter: Lessons Learned, Challenges Faced, and Growth Gained.

Tenth Grade is often regarded as the easiest year in Junior High School, but the first quarter proved it to be anything but. This quarter taught me lessons about being open for growth, staying positive, and persevering through challenges with discipline and integrity. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


During the first quarter of Grade Ten, I was able to gain new learnings and discoveries that helped me grow academically and personally. In Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao, I learned that every individual has freedom, but it comes with responsibilities and limitations. In ICT, under Mrs. Vera Cruz, I discovered how to create and manage blogs. To add, we studied the timeline of the Internet and its pioneers, which helped shape the digital world we have today. Additionally, in Science, I learned about the different tectonic plate-related activities and its processes. On the other hand, in Araling Panlipunan, I learned about disaster preparedness, including ways to mitigate and prevent the effects of earthquakes and other natural calamities. These lessons taught me valuable skills, broadened my knowledge, and helped me become more responsible, prepared, and aware of my role as a student and a citizen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Some of the problems and challenges I’ve faced during the first quarter include struggling to balance my time and responsibilities as a student. One of the biggest issues is barely getting enough sleep because of having to manage my requirements and activities for ten different subjects, which sometimes feels overwhelming. On the other hand, I also face personal challenges, such as laziness and procrastination. I often delay doing my tasks and end up cramming to meet deadlines, which adds to my stress and in return, affects the quality of my work.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 


I addressed these challenges by improving my time management by creating a study schedule for all of my subjects. I started setting my priorities and breaking big tasks into smaller and manageable steps to avoid cramming. I also reduced my habit of procrastination by reducing my screen time to help me focus on one task. Through these efforts, I became more productive, managed my workload better, and felt less stressed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Moving on, I will improve my study habits by managing my time more effectively and staying consistent with my schedule. I will avoid procrastination and focus on completing tasks early to reduce stress. I also plan to stay disciplined and motivated by setting personal goals and reminding myself of the importance of my studies. I aim to become more responsible, productive, and prepared for the challenges ahead.

To the President of the Philippines, Mr. Bongbong Marcos

Dear Mr. President Ferdinand “Bong bong Marcos Jr.,


I am Jayrielle John Pescador, and I hope this

message finds you well. I have seen on social and mainstream media your statements expressing your desire to reconcile with the Dutertes and your disapproval of impeachment. Mr. President, I have a few suggestions and questions which I hope you will take to heart.


You said you wish to avoid conflict and have no enemies. If that is truly the case, I hope you will remove from your circle those who have caused division—officials you appointed who act with more authority than you, and those who have openly disregarded the law. You stated that you are against impeachment, yet it was your own son, Sandro, who first signed, and your cousin who finalized the signatures. This contradicts your public statement. If your words are sincere, then I urge you to put a stop to this now, focus on the nation’s real problems, and address those close to you who misuse their positions and defy the law.


If you truly wish for unity, good governance, and to set an example as a leader who upholds the law, protects human rights, and defends our sovereignty, I urge you to hold accountable your personnel who have violated the law. I hope you are not being kept from the truth.




Mr. President, I urge you to embody true
leadership by prioritizing the welfare of the Filipino people and our nation above all else. Let your actions speak louder than words, leading with integrity and selflessness. 


Yours Truly,

        Jayrielle

Sapat na Pagkain, Karapatan Natin: Our Nutrition Month Journey


Every July, the country comes alive with the celebration of Nutrition Month, a reminder that making healthy choices isn’t just about personal well-being, and it’s about shaping stronger families, healthier communities and a better nation. This year’s theme, “Food and Nutrition Security: Maging Priority. Sapat na Pagkain, Karapatan Natin” speaks for itself. It tells us that access to healthy, sufficient food is not a luxury, it’s a basic human right. This celebration isn’t just a school program with posters and contests, it’s a nationwide movement encouraging everyone to step up and be a part of building a healthier future.

This year, I found myself right in the middle of that mission. As the class president of 10-Marconi, I led our class in creating a Nutri-Jingle meant to spread the message of the theme. We poured our creativity into creating a meaninful song, hoping to inspire others to choose healthy meals. Though we fell short by not winning the competition, but the process became the real prize. Each voice, each beat, each idea reminded us that teamwork and collaboration lits great minds. While we didn’t bag the trophy, we were honored to be chosen to represent all Grade 10 sections at the school’s Food Festival. There, we sell foods that were not only tasty but also healthy. But Nutrition Month is bigger than a jingle, poster making, or a single event. It’s a call to action. It reminds us that every plate of food we eat, every conversation we start, and every effort we make contributes to something much bigger. 
As we sang our jingle and shared our food, I realized that the lesson went far beyond contests or events. Nutrition Month taught us that we all carry a responsibility, to never stop sharing the message. Because when we work together, we’re not just filling plates, we’re fueling dreams, futures, and hope for a healthier tomorrow. 


GTKM (Get To Know Me)

Hi!
I'm excited and pleased to introducemyself. I am Jayrielle John S. Pescador. I was born on July 16, 2010 and I'm currently 15 years old. I live in Sagpat, Bantay, Ilocos Sur. I'm currently in 10th grade, section Marconi, at Ilocos Sur National High School - STE Program. I am that type of person who is considered to be the joyful one in the group. 

I'm passionate about my academics. My hobbies are cooking and to read books during my free time. Green is my favorite color. Being an outgoing person allows me to make friends easily. I hope that this blog will serve as the starting point for our future interactions and relationship. People often describe me as somewhat a 'funny' person. I make jokes but I make sure to consider the sensitivity of the receiver so that I would avoid offending them.

A thing you would expect from me is a lively personality. I'm a creative soul with a flair for the dramatic and a love for all things fun and quirky. I'm a bit of a goofball, and I adore making people smile. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me! I'm thrilled to share the challenges and obstacles we're going to face ahead.
