The Beauty of my Community; Sto. Domingo

 A Journey Through Sto. Domingo: Where History Meets Nature

As I stepped into the charming town of Sto. Domingo in Ilocos Sur, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and curiosity. With a population of approximately 29,372 people and a land area of 55.63 square kilometers, this town may be small, but it's packed with a rich history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking natural beauty.

My journey began at the St. Dominic Parish Church, a stunning example of Spanish-era architecture that dates back to the early days of the town. The church's imposing bell tower, where Diego Silang once served, stands tall and proud, a testament to the town's enduring faith and heritage. As I explored the church, I was struck by the intricate details and ornate decor that adorn the walls and ceilings.

But Sto. Domingo is more than just a history lesson. The town is also a nature lover's paradise, with its lush landscapes, crystal-clear waterfalls, and natural springs. I was amazed by the beauty of the town's natural attractions, which are perfect for hiking, swimming, and other outdoor activities.

As I explored the town, I was impressed by the thriving community that's full of life and energy. The People's Coliseum, Municipal Plaza, and Public Market are just a few of the many attractions that showcase the town's vibrant culture. And with 37 registered multi-purpose cooperatives, 8 bakeries, 6 computer cafes, and numerous other businesses, it's clear that Sto. Domingo is a town that's going places.

What struck me most about Sto. Domingo, however, was the warmth and hospitality of its people. The townspeople are known for their welcoming nature, making visitors feel like they're part of the family. Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, or just looking for a relaxing getaway, Sto. Domingo is a destination that's sure to leave you with unforgettable memories.

 This charming town may be small, but it's packed with a rich history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking natural beauty. If you're looking for a destination that's off the beaten path, Sto. Domingo is definitely worth a visit.

I LEARNED AND I GREW

This quarter in ICT was a game-changer for me. I learned so much about coding, especially HTML variables and web development. I remember spending hours working on projects, trying to get the code just right. Blog posting became a regular thing, and I enjoyed sharing my experiences and showcasing my work.

But it wasn't all smooth sailing. Debugging was a major challenge for me. I'd write code, but it wouldn't work, and I'd get frustrated. Time management was another issue. With multiple projects and deadlines looming, I had to prioritize and stay focused.

To overcome these challenges, I turned to online resources like W3Schools and Mozilla Developer Network. They helped me understand complex concepts and fix my code. I also practiced coding regularly, which improved my skills and confidence. And when I was stuck, I didn't hesitate to ask for help from my instructor or peers.

Looking ahead, I'm excited to build on what I've learned. I want to explore more advanced web development topics and apply my skills to real-world projects. I'm confident that with persistence and practice, I'll become a proficient web developer and create something amazing.

A FAMILY:TEACHERS DAY

 My Teacher, My Hero: A Heartfelt Tribute

As we celebrate the 2025 Teacher's Month Celebration with the theme "My Teacher, My Hero," I am reminded of the profound impact that teachers have on our lives. They are the guiding lights who illuminate our path, helping us navigate the complexities of life and learning. With their unwavering dedication, patience, and passion, teachers shape not only our minds but also our hearts.

Teachers are more than just educators; they are mentors, role models, and inspirations. They see potential in us, even when we don't see it ourselves. They push us to be our best selves, to strive for excellence, and to never give up on our dreams. As Kiran Sethi, founder of the Ripple Effect, so eloquently puts it, "Teachers are the backbone of a strong education system, and without them, we wouldn't have the thinkers, leaders, and change-makers of tomorrow" (The Ripple Effect).

I remember the teachers who took the time to listen, to encourage, and to believe in me. They made me feel seen, heard, and valued. They helped me develop a love for learning that has stayed with me to this day. Their impact extends far beyond the classroom, shaping my values, my relationships, and my very identity.

As we celebrate Teacher's Month, let us express our heartfelt gratitude to these unsung heroes. Let us acknowledge the late nights, the early mornings, and the countless hours spent grading papers, preparing lessons, and mentoring students. Let us celebrate the teachers who make a difference, who inspire us to be our best selves, and who shape the future, one student at a time.

To all the teachers out there, thank you for being my heroes. Your dedication, passion, and love for teaching are a beacon of hope and inspiration to us all.
