GRADUATION

Tomorrow will be our GRADUATION DAY. I say CONGRATULATIONS to all my batchmates and of course, to everyone who'll be graduating this year.

I can still recall the very first day of school where I was a new student. Everything in me back then was like a heavy air that I couldn't even bare to release. I was very afraid of everyone. I was afraid of speaking to someone that I might have a different mark on her. Days full of pretentions came by. But one day came and I end up knowing something. I wasn't doing things just to please people. I started to see that I did stumble at the point of getting to know my REAL self. I learned how to handle things, to make friends and to realize how change in life can let you feel the good conviction of being alive.

There are so many things I cannot forget. First, will be, the "culture shock" that happened to me first week of school that now I just giggle whenever I think of. I find it funny now. I know most people cannot relate to this so maybe there's no need for me to expound. Second, my being "saling-pusa" to a barkada at first and I felt bad about it. A day came (FINALLY haha) when we end up not only exchanging stories but rather getting to know both parties and buliding a strong bond called friendship. "A world cannot be really plain", I said to myself. Third, the busy streets of Taft Avenue, Leon Guinto and Kapitan Ticong. I first stayed in a domitory for almost 2 years and I smoked out that I myself can be independent without my mother. I worried for the pounds I used to gain one day and another but still nothing can control me to cross to the street of Taft Avenue for Mc Donald's fried chicken, KFC's Zinger Meal and CHICKEN STRIPS MEAL even if after digesting them, I'll feel guilty being so piggy. Harhar. Fourth, the assualt of the "rebel Ayie". When I started to question things and hacked them without any second thought. I felt I was the silent god of the parties in Ermita and the vast tank of alcohol and smoke. Fifth, moving into a new condominium and living a new life. I got to reflect and see what's really happening to me, to my life and how can I cure everything. Lastly, the halcyon day of my life! I finally did fathom the real meaning of life and everything. I showed importance not only to myself but also to the people arround me. I got to be known by others and I got to know them to. I finally set a gist for education for it's one thing that can never be taken away from me. I owe it to my teachers, my classmates, friends and to my family who supported me.

I'm of mixed emotions right now. No need to ask, I feel so happy. After a long time staying in high school, finally, everything is over. Now I can say, I've made it...We've made it. And I feel very proud.

Special memories St. Scho bestowed me will always be inside my heart. Partly, I honestly feel sad for I will miss the days that had been a smashing routine of my life. I should now ready myself for college life. A new den will offer me a new beginning. One morning I will wake up and it will dope me out for new faces and smiles. That's life for change is something inevitable that we could not frustrain.

Off the topic:
