     Kannawidan is an Ilocano term meaning feast of rich heritage and culture. It marks the 198th foundation of Ilocos Sur, which separated the province from Ilocos Norte by a Royal Decree on February 2, 1818.      This is an annual festival in Ilocos Sur. Celebrated in Vigan City. Within the duration of this festival, Ilokano culture, tradition, and products are showcased.      This festival is to gather the different municipalities of Ilocos Sur that they may have borderlines and such, but they still can be united.

     "Change is the only permanent thing on earth."      You can't stop something from changing. You can't resist change. So assist it or do it yourself. Change is terrifying if you don't know what the outcome will be. But you can decide on what it is.      If someone plans to change something, they work hard to be able to do that change. They start with themselves. But one person can not drastically change something so easily. They'd need help. They become influencers.      As Mother Theresa has said, " I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples."

     Many people wonder what their New Year resolution is. They want to be better. They want to be someone new; someone who has changed.      As a student, we want to be better in our studies. People want to be better at what they're good at and be good at what they don't know. They want to change their bad attitudes/ characteristics. But some people change for the worse; which should not be. We should all change for the better.      Others doesn't even change, they become somewhat satisfied with who they are but we won't know for sure. As they say, "change is inevitable."
