When I was a kid, I was new with the schooling world. I am ecstatic for my mom to buy me school supplies because I can choose whatever I like, from colorful pencils, fancy notebooks to cartoon-shaped erasers. I can't sleep the night before the first school day because I am imagining myself wearing my new school shoes and bag and that will be the first day for the 10 month in school, to see the faces of my classmates, the new ones and the rest whom I used to spent my school life for the past few years. During pre-school, I learned to count, mention ABCs, spell and sing the basic nursery rhymes like
row row row your boat. As time goes by, I learned to solve arithmetic and understand the concept of friction and force. And in just like a snap of a finger, I saw myself walking thru the aisle, wearing my toga and there, my mom, who shed tears because I finally graduated and finished Elementary. Time ticks so fast. In two more days, I will officially finish High School, and I can conceitedly say that, "I did it".
High School. A very simple yet a superb word. Before, I think that upon hearing that word, studying will be nothing but a pressure. When I first stepped in my school as a freshman, I was really frightened about my new teachers (Elementary students happen to be petrified by HS teachers because they seem to be appaling), but as I grew there, I realized that I have wrong notions. This part of edification is the MOST memorable and blissful experience. It's not only that you'll encounter to have the "barkada" thingy, night-out with friends, cheating, cramming, Puppy Love and so, but also the knowledge that the teachers have shared. It has been said that the awful and pointless deeds are the ones that causes the Fun; This is also the episode in life where you'll meet the great people whom you can consider as your true and best friends, friends whom is with you through thick and thin. The ones you can laugh and cry with. I can also say that, this is where the major peer pressure starts..
But High school is not only about fun, there are times that you have tough relationships with your classmates. I am guilty that I am not in good terms with everyone in my batch (before). Sometimes you just don't know why you seem to hate them and they might as well don't like you back. There are times, that once you have seen the face of that specific person, it seems that you're day has been wrecked and ruined. I remember that we (not only me), had a cold-war with some of my classmates because of competition. Only because of C.A.T. Now it seems to be a petty reason, but I understand it somehow before. But as graduation bites, we became mature, and settle the relationships with people. C'mon, we'll graduate, let's make the most out of it.
I have said a very tiny part of my high school life. I truly enjoyed this. And I will surely never forget the memories I had from my green school. When you finished HS, you'll realize that all the repeated cliche's you've heard from the teachers are the pathways for our success in the future. For this, I want to thank everyone who are part of my achievement in finishing highschool. My advisers (Sir Jhun, Sir Joey, Ms. Krisna, and Ms. Joe), and to our
pressuring principal, Ms. Ann Felipe. I already graduated CAT, therefore, Ms. Ann won't bug me anymore about Harvey. I'll miss that though. :)
CONGRATS BATCH MATES!I am going to miss everyone. Please keep in touch.
I will truly take pleasure in tossing our graduation caps together.
HAPPY GRADUATION GUYS.
Batch 2008-2009As we enter a new chapter of our life, learn to look back. :)
