Curiosity Fuels Innovation

-

This year’s National Science Month has the theme “Harnessing the Unknown: Powering the Future through Science and Innovation.” It reminds us that science is not just about what we already know, but also about discovering new things. Innovation helps turn these discoveries into tools that make life easier and better. The celebration teaches us to be curious, creative, and ready for new challenges because our future depends on how we use science.

In the next years, science will continue to change society. New inventions like artificial intelligence, better medicine, renewable energy, and modern technology will affect the way we live. For example, AI can help doctors check illnesses faster, and renewable energy can help fight climate change. But these also have problems, like fairness, privacy, and equal access. This means people must use science wisely so that it benefits everyone.

Learning science in school is very important. But it is also important that we apply science in real life. Groups like the National Academy of Science and Technology (Philippines) help connect scientists, leaders, and communities so that science can solve real problems. Students like us can also take part by learning more, sharing ideas, and using science in good ways.

The theme “Harnessing the Unknown” reminds us not to be afraid of things we do not yet understand. Instead, we should face them with teamwork and curiosity. Science and innovation can build a brighter tomorrow, but it is up to all of us to use them for the good of everyone.

Keeping The Environment Clean Is Our Responsibility

 "A clean environment is not a gift - it's a responsibility." This quote reminds me of the importance of taking care of the Earth. As students, we are not only learning inside the classroom but also outside, where we can apply what we learn through action. This quarter, I participated in community that focused on protecting the environment. Through these experiences, I learned valuable lessons about responsibility, teamwork, and how even small actions can make big change. "Small actions, when multiplied by many, can change the world." September is recognized as National Clean-Up Month by virtue of Proclamation No. 244, and every year, World Clean and Green Week is observed from September 17 to 23. These campaigns remind us of our responsibility to care for the environment, reduce pollution, and prevent disasters caused by neglect or harmful human activities. As a student, I took part in simple but meaningful actions that contribute to a cleaner and safer commun...

Pieces of Who I Am

          Writing about myself has always been one of the hardest things for me to do, because sometimes I feel like I don't fully know who I am yet. There are moments when I think I understand myself, but when I try to put it into words, it becomes confusing. Still, I believe this kind of writing is important because it helps me explore my thoughts and feelings. I may not have everything figured it out yet, but I am learning more about myself every day. Through this essay , I hope to share with who I really am - the things I enjoy, what inspires me, and the person I hope to become someday.              I am Maria Lourdes Franz Cabot. My name was given in honor of Saint Maria Lourdes,  who was also born on the same day I was. My family and friends often call me Frances, but I personally prefer to be called Maria. I was born on February 11, 2010, and raised in Buguig, Bantay Ilocos Sur. I see myself as a friendly perso...

Chasing Mountains and Memories: My Unforgettable Journey to Bantay

  Last weekend, I traveled from Buquig, Bantay to Tayac, a place known for its mountain views and peaceful scenery. Three of my friends live there, while one lives nearby, and I was the one coming from the farthest area. The place is surrounded by tall hills and trees, giving it a calm and refreshing atmosphere - a perfect spot to unwind. It was our long-awaited meet-up, and we were all excited to finally spend a fun day together in nature. At first, there were supposed to be seven of us, but there is a conflict from the schedule, so it became 10am. When I arrived, one of my friends was already waiting for me outside. After my brother left, I climbed onto a motorcycle, which was quite difficult because the seat was very high, it felt like a challenge to even get on! Since there were already two of us on the motorbike, we decided to fetch first the other who also knew how to drive. That way, we could use two motorcycles and travel comfortably together. The ride was full of laughte...
