At first, I became nervous and anxious when our adviser, Mrs. Tolentino told us that we need to write an essay on how our junior life ran and went on. But since I need to do it, I forced myself to note it down. And here it goes…
Junior… Wow. I am already a third year high school student in this school. I am excited. Though nervous since my friends from higher years told me that Ma’am Arlyn give loads of seatwork and homework, I know that I can get through these. “Madali lang yan, basta pagsisikapan.” I told myself.
It is already the enrollment day. I hate this day. Know why? It is because the leadership training (project of SSG where I am a member) is simultaneous to the event. I don’t know what I am going to prioritize. But it was fine since I did them both. At the same time! ü
Brigada Eskwela. I was shocked because our adviser already knew me. I was also happy because my former classmates, new classmates and I had bonding time together.
First week of classes, I am happy because I am starting a new year, which I knew was the start of a new life. Also, most of my classmates become the vice- presidents of most of the clubs, especially Shayne (my beloved Filipino Club).
Then life went on, I distinguished many people which I know that will be a great factor of what I am going to be in the near future. I also differentiated what is right and what is wrong. I knew that sometimes, doing the wrong thing is better than doing nothing at all to make things in order. But doing the wrong thing is still wrong.
September 2, 2007. (Ouch! I remembered it). We talked to our Mathematics teacher because we did something that isn’t really good to do. We cheated. I was nervous then, but I am ready to face the consequences that are needed to be given to us. One of my classmates told the rest of the III- N class that she owes them an apology. But I strongly disagree. I told my other friends, “Bakit ako mag-so-sorry sa kanila? Sila ang dapat mag-sorry sa atin dahil sila ang nang-iwan sa ere. Gumamit din sila ng photocopy na yun, pero sinabi nilang hindi. Kalokohan!”. But I was glad for Ma’am Orsal gave us the chance to know our faults and she did not give us any disciplinary action. She just let us write a promissory note that we are not going to cheat again, or else we are going to be expelled from the school.
September 7,2007, Maragondon Day. SALIW dance troupe performed in Maragondon Town Plaza. And I lost my phone. I hate this day!!
September 14, 2007. Field Trip. I had a great time then, butbefore the day ends, my friends, (specifically Danica, Nico and Jasper) gave me a toy which resembles like a phone. I was deeply touched by that simple gift.
September 26-29 2007. Jamboree. It was fun and exciting. I realized many things, especially that I don’t need to involve myself in every activity where I am not needed. I also gave importance to one word… HUMILITY.
October 18, 2007. It was my first time to compete outside the school. DSPC, Pagsulat ng Balitang Pangkalakasan. But unfortunately, I lost. I didn’t even get the 15th place. I felt so bad that time, but it was fine since my co-writers comforted me and told me that I still got another year to prove myself.
I encountered many people that I hated so much, but I am glad that I made up with them. So I am already a worry-free person.
I realized many things this year. I grasped that I am human and I am not perfect. I may meet people whom I can befriend, but I may not. I knew that people are different. Like what the proverb states “You may please somebody, but cannot please everybody”.
I also appreciated the word priority. I need to prioritize to do things much better. I also knew that I can escape from those “sleepless nights” when I do things during my free time. Our adviser’s words stuck unto me. ”Kung kayo ay nagbabasa na lamang o gumagawa ng inyong mga assignments imbis na magkwentuhan, makakatapos kayo. Hindi yung sasabihin nyo kay nanay na hindi kayo makakapaghugas ng pinagkainan dahil madami kayong takdang aralin.” I am always hit by her words. But I take it positively, I know that those words are mentioned by her for us to learn.
I also knew my friends more deeply. I distinguished fake friends from genuine. I believe that true friends tease like a brother but love you more than a lover. And I felt that certain love from Danica, Shayne and Samm. Hehe..(uyy.. special mention! ü)
One time, I told myself, I need to stand for what I believe is right. Though difficult, it will be the best way to live. Also, I need to explain myself to everybody whenever destiny urges me to. It won’t be healthy for everyone that we don’t understand each other. What if we became closer if I did explain my side to him? Ü
~ my junior life, passed to Mrs. Tolentino as a compliance for our clearance. hehe.
