English Festival 2017
Quezon National High School held its English Festival for the school year 2017-2018 last December 5, 6 and 7. The purpose of having this kind of gathering with the English Department and the students of the school is to showcase the talents and skills of each student in the different contests in the said event.

On the second day of the said festival (December 6), I have joined on the symposium about short film and radio drama where I learned so many things and I am certain that I can apply all those things on the next time I will be doing such things.

I have experienced difficulties. I have felt bad. I have felt stressed. I felt all the things I could feel but I am proud to say that what happened on the three days of festival was worth it. It was fun. It was memorable.
​
I am truly thankful knowing the fact that everything was fine last night (Day 3 and last day of English Festival 2017). It was unexpected for me to have shared few moments with the two guys who have been important in my life (not anymore now) but still important.
​
I enjoyed the festival and I am sure that all the memories I have made in this event will be forever marked in my heart.
​
I am very blessed that there are events like this (English Festival 2017) before I leave my dear alma mater.
​
Thank you to the English Department and English Club officers for making this happen.
