Chad's World

  A ccording to Photutorial.com, an average of 1.81 trillion photos are taken each year worldwide. I usually take around 2,000+ photos each year. And with that amount of photos taken, I manage to take some decent pictures every now and then. And so I show you some breathtaking photos which I took just recently.

Now in 2023, the Palo National High School is bustling with around 70 students per section and 60 faculty members. The campus had extended as well, now consisting of a large space occupied by many facilities. For the 30th anniversary of its founding, the school has planned a whole day of celebration. Scheduled for December 14, 2023, the day was full of excitement and celebration. Since I am a Photojournalist for the school's publication, known as The Cradle , I and my fellow photojournalists were tasked to cover the event. We had to go to the school before sunrise for the parade at six in the parade at six in the morning. Since it was December,  the air was cold as ice, when I arrived at school my hands were shaking like crazy. And at that moment I regretted not bringing a jacket. The clo
