I'm not Too Good at Goodbyes

Stepping in a new room is very nerve-wracking, but exciting at the same time. I get to see both familiar and new faces. I look at the 35 people with me, and see how fear was etched onto their faces. I take a seat and wait for our adviser. Minutes passed and she enters with a bag in her hand. It’s finally beginning. This is the start of the school year. But as days go by, we start to either converge, diverge, or probably even slide pass each other. But all of our journeys are worth blogging. Remember the first time we met our teacher in TLE?

 She was Mrs.Evelyn Vera Cruz. She put me in Station no.8 and I will never forget. That station has a lot of memories we have embroidered together. Those lessons she taught. How come I will forget those? But the question is? Do I deserve not going to that room anymore? I will really miss it. And the answer is, I am not ready. I cannot leave that room. I'm not done making memories, yet. All those blogs she made us do, was nothing compared to the happiness we have shared together.

I'm not fond of saying goodbyes, but as I will enter the next grade level. It will be easier for me. And I will not be ashamed to say, "Ma'am Evelyn taught me." So, I hope we will soon meet again, one day. Thank you!

I believe, therefore I will be!

People say life is easier when you enjoy the most of it. Well, I say they don't know what they're just talk-talking about. Because this life is full of cruelty and misery. Talk about school, go to school and they give you lots and lots of work and requirements, to the point that you don't know what to do anymore. You cannot do anything but cry. Cry in agony and ask for sympathy, but that won't do any. School has become a place of compliance and not learning anymore.

Right now I'm on the point wherein I feel so ashamed of myself because of the failures I've reached. I feel like a disgrace. There are times I cried hard because I couldn't handle it anymore, sometimes I feel stressed having to realize there are lots of works before me. Everyday, I go to school looking disappointed and irritated. Until one day, I bump into a man. He was well-looking, neat, handsome, and judging through his appearance, he seems wealthy because he's wearing a suit, and he seems to have a lot of friends. He laughed at me and said, " I can't remember I was such a cry baby, I can't believe I was an incompetent man," he laughed again and he disappeared. I came to realize that was me in 2029. How motivated I was when that incident happen, at last, I found the sweetest smile and burning passion I needed.

I came to a realization, that life doesn't always give you what you want, you need to strive and work hard for it. People laugh at me whenever I tell them what my dream is. They would say, "Keep dreaming litlle kid, I wish you will achieve what you dreamed for," sarcastically. They would say, dreams are just dreams, and they can never be turn into a reality. But then, I have a pledge pf commitment. I would bravely say, that "with God, nothing is impossible. I believe, with all the desire and determination I have, it's not impossible to achieve those dreams. One day, I will learn how to climb a tree full of ripen mangoes.  I will become a lawyer, and that is my dream. You can't stop me! I believe, therefore I will be!

Preparation! Anticipation! Satisfaction!

"Hello from the other sideeeeeeee, I must've called a thousand timesssss, to tell you I'm sorry, for everything that I've done, but when I call you never seem to be homeeee. Hello from the outss......" It was at this moment when my singing mind came to a realization.... it was my alarm clock.  It was 7:38 in the morning. " Oh shittt! I'm late! What do I do? ma'am will kill me. Oh my goodness! Why!!??", these are common reactions for people who wakes up at 7:38 AM and has a program at 7:30 AM. But I am different, the chills are on my bones. " Where are you!? Hurry, the parade will start!", said my classmate, and I'm just like, " Okay, I'll take a bath." Hahaha

It was the 117th Foundation day of my school, and I'm late for the program "again." It is one of the most anticipated and awaited days of every students of Ilocos Sur National High School. As early as the 1st weeks of February, students are already preparing for the field demonstration, the highlight of the event. Not only students are involved, but also the teachers. And a fun fact is that the teachers also prepares for their field demo, which I find cute. Because of this, we can understand clearly how the people of ISNHS value and give commemoration to the founders of the school. 

Over 8,000 people celebrates this event. This is the only time we can see Ilocos Sur National High School get united. Some students celebrate it  by not going to school because they think it was a rest day, but for me, I went because I wanted to relax, just chill and hang out with my friends. Being able to participate on these kind of big events is quite honorable for me, and I am so much proud, being a student of Ilocos Sur National High School.
