Show off your enthusiasm

    Festival of talents brings people together and create a sense of belonging in the community. It creates opportunities for all types of learners. We each receive special gifts, which we should treasure and  thoroughly celebrate.

     I attended the ISNHS Festival of Talents on December 2, 2022. The specific booth that I visited is industrial arts. As I arrived at the event, I noticed that many students were having a good time while showcasing their talents. Some of them were selling bracelets they had made or made themselves, displaying dresses they had sewn, making food, I also saw a bunch of plants that they took care. It was lovely to see them wearing a big smile as they discussed their passions.

     I learned that nothing makes us happier than showing others our own talents. These kinds of activities brings positive impact to the students, it reduces the anxiety and stress that we are currently facing brought by  excessive amount of schoolwork. Since not all of us perform well in academics, I hope that DepEd will explore and create more events like this to allow the students to demonstrate their enthusiasm.

     I can apply the learnings in my daily life by giving a time for myself to reunite with my old hobbies because it somehow reduces my stress and anxiety.
