A wave of creativity swept through the covered court of Luis Y. Ferrer Jr. North National High School on October 7, 2025, as students and teachers came together for the ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ค ๐๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ค๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ฉ ๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐จ๐ ๐๐จ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ณ๐๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ค๐๐จ๐จ๐ค๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ซ๐ง๐๐ซ๐ฌ. The event became a space where imagination met purposeโwhere stories, learning, and local identity intertwined.
The program began with a series of meaningful messages that underscored the value of writing from experience. Ms. Babeth G. Casajeros welcomed participants with warmth, while Mr. Larry F. Cajelo introduced the dayโs special guest, ๐ด๐. ๐ด๐. ๐จ๐๐ ๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ณ. ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐, better known by her pen name ๐ณ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐๐๐09.
A celebrated PSICOM author, Ms. Cruzate captivated the audience with her insights on storytelling. She shared how her writing journey began and how her novels, including Tell Me How You Want To DIE and Seraphim, reflect her deep connection with her readers. โWriting,โ she said, โisnโt just about wordsโitโs about moving people and making them feel.โ Her interactive discussion on the five elements of a story gave students practical tools to craft compelling narratives of their own.
The workshop ended on a hopeful note, reminding everyone that great stories often begin in classroomsโwhere curiosity, courage, and creativity find their voice. At North High, the next generation of storytellers has just begun to write their first chapters.
