A Wrinkle in Time

By: Kennedy Mesa

A wrinkle in time, there was a man, who have lived all the time in his life working and earning money. He was very successful and a very rich person for he has many belongings. He has 24 different varieties of cars and 7 luxury houses from different countries around the world. He was happy and satisfied for what he had gained, for what he had accomplished in life. He even helped charities and orphanages, because those charity funds that he gives to those charities and orphanages is just 4% of his money. He gives offering funds to churches, schools, hospitals and poor people, for he lived long enough working. He is now 86 years old, and has 5 private nurses to take care of him, he grow up single and didn’t have time for romance. All his companies are all donated to those people who have less in life, but, has potential in running a business, he even chooses them randomly, and he is observing them for so long to take his businesses. One day, while he is sitting in front of his 3 storey luxury house right on the second floor. He then suddenly began to think, “what will happen to now?”, I have worked and helped a lot of people and satisfied for what I have done with my life. Then a question suddenly reached his heart and straightly connected to his mind, “Is it enough that I have helped, people?”, “That I have render all my life working?”. Then while he was about to drink his tea right beside him, a thought suddenly popped into his head, “would I have been happy if l have a family?”... son or a daughter to call and care about…a wife which would have been by my side as we grow old together?... Then a sudden blink… he then fell into a deep sleep right where he was sitting on his chair in front of his 3 storey house on his second floor terris… He then woke up…he was feeling strong and alive…he then get up and out of his bed, looked out on the window on his left side…like he’ feeling young and more energetic like he thought he could never be, but he then think, its maybe a sign that he was about to die. He then moved straight to the bathroom, which he currently saw very unusual m, but he didn’t seems to bother, as he looked straight to the mirror… He was shocked like his soul left his body for about 5 minutes. He’s younger self 60 years ago, he’s hair was blacked and all his pores and old face was gone liked he thought he was wrinkles have all left his body… He then left his bedroom and walked to the kitchen, still shocked to what happened to his body. While going out of his bedroom, through the door he saw the kitchen right in front of him, with a woman cooking. The woman was so beautiful as it, moves her face to the man, the man was petrified to the glamorous beauty of the woman. The woman then say, “ Good morning, Hon. How was your sleep?”. The man was not sure of what is happening and what to reply… “come sit down, I’m almost done cooking” says the woman. Then the man just suddenly sat down on the table with a confused face. Two children then came, out of another room saying… “Good morning mom, Good morning dad”. The man now was terribly confused, but the man was happy and enjoyed every moment with his wife and two children…After his deep sleep he woke up young, with a family. They were happy together, even if they don’t have much money…the man was very happy feel satisfied like never before, he was thankful for what miracle happened to him. He was blessed for the second chance he had received and became more relief of what life he woked up upon. He became more generous, even if they don’t have much, and he have lived happier liked never before…without his money and properties.

Balance in All Things

By: Kervin Gadiano

Junior high school is very different in senior high school,

When i was grade 10, i can do what ever i want. If i want to bully someone or if i cut my class that’s what you call cutting class, and i really want to do it if i can. My time for school and my time for gaming is not balance anymore. Just like im playing dota during class when i was junior high school

  it is now really balance because my priority is playing dota instead of studying. Im not managing my time well to school, i priority games than my study until i realize that i need to pay attention to my school and i really realize that school is really helping me to fix my future in life soon. And i realize

 that i shouldn’t do cutting classes because that wont help me in my life or in my future. I need to be more matured when it comes to school because studying is really helping me to achieve my future in life soon if i finish my college. Having not balance in time with school and game can ruin my life and it will not help me. For real. Theres a time you can realize to study hard when you gain low grades. This is my senior high school life once again. Thank you.

Dare

By: Serge De Guzman

There’s this handsome guy named Karlito Berdu. Girls in his class admire him, because of his strong charisma and angelic face but has an attitude. Every time he’s with his friends, they will make fun of every body, most especially girls. They will make the girl fall in love with them and when those girls is already in love with them they will say, ”it’s just a dare”. One day a new girl transferred in their school, her name was Less Guatt, she is mean most of the time. When Karlito is walking he saw Less holding piles of files, he was amazed by Less’s aura. It’s the first time Karlito felt like that. His group of friends came to him and said, “Bro, why are you staring at the new girl? We’re only doing jokes here, huh.” Karlito just snob his friends and went back to their classroom. He thinks of a way that Less will notice him. So, he decided to write a letter for Less. “Hi Less, can we be friends?” - Karl Less just ignored it. Weeks passed and Karlito realized that he really has a feelings on Less. Karl started to court Less in a secret way, he always give Less water and food, until one day  Karlito realized that he was already in love with Less, he confessed his feeling to Less but her reply was “it’s not true, sorry, I lied”, after her reply to Karlito, Karlito realizes how it feels to be make fun with, Karlito fall into his own trap and now he is suffering because of his own doings. Time passed by and Karlito is still in love with Less, he always make a way to get the attention of Less. Until one day Less decided to talk to Less about what happen few weeks ago, “ hi, Karlito! How are you?” but he did not get any answer from Karlito. After he talked to Less, Karlito felt sad because of Less’s response to his approach. Two days later someone texts karlito, he opens his phone, an unknown number “sorry for what I did two days ago I was pissed because of my adviser, this is my number by the way -Less guatt”, he is smiling, he is so happy, he reply “it’s okay, I understand. Until one day Less texts karlito “hey, I have something to tell you” karl “what is it?” less “remember what happened a month ago?” karl “forget about it less I’ve already moved on about it” less “well I think I feel the same way Karlito” karlito “what do you mean?” less “I think I’m also in love with you Karlito” karlito “is this for real?, I mean one month ago you hated me so bad and  now you are in love with me?, now I’m confused” Less “yes I am sure I’m in love with you” karlito “well if that’s the case, I tell you I am in love with you since the very first day that I saw you.” From that day Less and karlito always talk to each other, but when they are in the school it is the other way around, because karlito’s friend might tease him. After that conversation, Karlito and Less  are always together.  Even Karlito’s friend already accepted Less. Karlito and less are so happy and they treasure every moment of their SHS day.

I Stood Firm

by: Missy Pagaling

Having spent twelve years of my life in school within a classroom surrounded by my fellow classmates and various teachers is do tiring and the years tend to fade into each other. But the year I remember most clearly and significantly is my senior high school life where I finally began to appreciate what La Salette institution offered to any student  who stopped to look. Before, school had been a chore, many times I did not feel motivated toward a subject because I am not that much inspired yet. Seeing the same face I very tiring soon enough. But I began to see things from a different angle once I became a senior.

Being a senior high school student is the beginning of everything... new sets of environment, classmates, teachers, subjects, and curriculum. it is also where the new hope begins, however, I found it hard to agree with the implementation of the k-12 Curriculum since it imposes so much requirements and the like. I can honestly say that the said curriculum is very beneficial to each and every student like me as it enhances our skills and talents, and minds for our future educational life.

Entering my senior high school life wasn't as easy as walking down a peaceful and quiet street without any destruction. I needed to discern well before I could totally decide where to study at. I ended up choosing one of the best school in our town- La Salette of San Mateo, Inc. My school's philosophy on teaching was to turn out well-rounded individuals. I, myself became more competitive in learning since I entered this institution. Before, I used to procrastinate and a mediocre that made me so impotent but I came to realize that learning is fun when you put effort on it despite the bulks of assignments, requirements, and many more, given to us.

Yes, learning is fun and exciting when you are in high school. The additional two more years is beneficial and advantageous for me but on the other hand, my parents are having hard time to send me to school because of financial problem. we are five in the family who are going to school. When I was on my eleventh year of studying, I saw and felt the hardships that my parents encountered. My mom came up telling me the words that I do not ever want to hear. "My daughter, would you prefer to stop studying first and just have a job to help me in sending your siblings to school?" she uttered. Hearing those words coming from her mouth really hurt me. hesitation and doubt is something between me. As the eldest child, I want to be responsible as possible as I could. however, I just took it and swallow it up until I just let my parents decide on what would I do. They ended up sending me to school still but the hardships and difficulties my parents had underwent served as my motivation and inspiration to do my very best in school and to excel in everything that I do.

Time has passed by, I am now on my last year of studying in high school. My classmates and I made so much memories that are cherishable and treasurable. Each time I'm about to enter the institution, I just smile at everything but deep inside me, I cried a lot because of what my family are going through. The institution and the curriculum molded me to a  good person. And I'm thankful about it. Despite all the difficulties and challenges I encountered in my journey in high school, I'm still aggressive and eager to learn regarding how my parents inspired me to do so.

Adversities may come on its way to my life but I would still stand firm on my ground to face those challenges and trials. A house and a school are two different concepts but if we try to look upon it, these two includes family- a family who loves and cares for each other. With this matter, I've learned to give importance to all the things and persons who surround me. It's hard to be one of the seniors but it is such a great pleasure and experience to be one.

Friends

By: Leah Garlitos

“Friends will come and friends will go, the seasons change and it will show, I will age and so will you but our friendships stay, strong and true”. Elle Garcia is a former loner in their school. She is a loner because she enters the school without a friend. She eats without anyone by her side, she studies without anyone helping her if she’s in deep thoughts; she’s changing PE without anyone looking if someone will open her door in the cubicle because the lock of the cubicle is not working. That was the hardest part of her life before. That was the darkest section of her experience upon entering the broader part of her educational life; the senior High school. But it was all changed by the help of her friends she met at the school library. FLASHBACK Elle is busy reading her notes in the library when someone approached her and ask if they can share a table with her. Elle got confused because she’s thinking why they want to share a table with her but there are a lot of available tables inside the library. But Elle doesn’t know the real intention of the students who approached her. But even if Elle is confused of the sudden apparition of the said students, she still said yes. “Hello, may we ask if what is your name? Oh. By the way, I am Lilly. I am your classmate but I observed that you are not talking to anyone that’s why we decided to approached you first “*then she smile* – Lilly Elle was taken aback when she heard what Lilly said, because she’s not expecting that someone in their school will approached her someday. “H-hi, I’m Elle Garcia. Nice meeting you Lilly”- Elle Then all of them tell their names to Elle. “I’m JT, I’m KJ, I’m KA, I’m PM, I’m EM” – all of the students who approached her. “We want you to be one of our friends that’s why we approached you. Not because we pity you but because we saw something about you and we want you to be part of our lives.”- Lilly “Remember the day when you report in front of us and no one is listening to you, but still you continue talking regardless of your environment” – PM “That’s true, we saw your dedication on what you are doing and the eagerness to fulfill the task given to you”- JT “Yup…. So, whether you like it or not you are now our friend and you cannot do something to make our decisions change.” –EM PRESENT Elle was busy writing the requirements given to her when she felt the call of nature. She goes to her teacher and ask permission if she can go to the rest room. While she is walking in the path way, she bumps into a person that will change her relationship with her friends specially Lilly. And that person is no other than Skyler Reyes her new teacher in Algebra 1. She felt like the things around her disappear and the only thing her eyes is focused on Sky. The days goes by, but that day she bumps her teacher did not vanish even a little bit. But rather the attraction she felt was getting bigger and bigger until she felt love. It was so cliché, but it was the real thing she is feeling every time she’s listening to Sky and if she is looking at him secretly. She is always looking after him and always appreciating all the little things Sky was doing every day. Every happy moment happening to her life, she’s always sharing it to her friends, but she did not tell yet that she was in love with her teacher. Until one day Elle made a decision that she will tell to her friends the real feelings she has for her teacher. When she tell her real feelings for her teacher Lilly got confused and felt a little bit disgusted because Sky is their teacher but Elle was in love for her teacher. The riot between Lilly and Elle started because of the comment of Lilly that it was disgusting if she will be going to fall for her teacher. They are not talking to each other anymore ‘till the whole  are also included in their riot. But Elle realized one day that she is not supposed to be acting in that way because they are her friends and she is not happy now if not because of them. So then, they fixed their problems and Lilly did her job also to talk to Elle they live Happily and crazily. “till that day their friendship are now stronger.

Library

By: Joshua V. Bravo

So, I’m Joshua, I’m a former SHS. One day, I woke up with a big smile on my face, looking to a peaceful sunrise out of my window. I get up, fixed my things while music is on. Then I get my clothes, go to the bathroom and take a bath. After a while, I prepared my food, ate and after a minute brush my teeth. And I went out to find a cab to go to our school.

The weather is really nice and so as mine. I arrived in our school feeling fresh and stress free. Then, I met my friends, waiting at the gate trying to fool me around but I ignored them because they’re really good and nice. After ignoring them, I immediately went to our classroom to prepare for our class. It was really admiring that our morning subjects really makes us sleepy. On our breaktime, I’m not usually taking my break because I have many things to accomplish. I went every time in the Library because it is more comfortable, less noise, and fresh air. I always feel happy when doing my work in the Library because I experienced an unexpected moment.

Two years ago, when I was doing my work, someone asked me if she is able to seat beside me. And I answered, “Of course you may”. So, she seats besides me and read a book. While I’m doing my work, she asks me a question with a shy voice. “Are you fund of reading books”. I answered, “Yes I am”. She blushed and smiled. A minute later, I asked her, “Why did she asked me that question?”. She closed her book and stares at me like there’s something wrong on my face. At this time, I feel uncomfortable, so I asked her again. And she answered, “You are a smart guy, I always see you every time I passed by into this Library. I have hard time before getting close to you and talk to you because I think you’ll just dumped me. But I’m wrong.” She smiled and blushed. She gets a book in her bag and say, “I always wanted to give it to you. This is my favorite book. And I want you to read it when you have free time.” I took her book and said,” Thankyou I appreciate it.” She shingles, get her things and immediately go out.

After this moment happened in past two years, I was really motivated. That there is someone who appreciate me. But sadly, that girl who gave me a book transferred to another school and that’s always freaking me out. I was still hoping, that girl will visit me, in the same place and at the same time. And give again another book that would inspire me to do better on my studies. The bell rings, so I fixed my things and go back immediately to our classroom so that I can’t be late. After a while, I seated on my chair, browse my notebook and waited for the next teacher. “I really like this day, “I said. Because since morning we do not have much to do. It seems like we have a lot of vacant. And I noticed that our teachers look busy and they can’t manage to have a class at the time. And so, the chill goes on and on until it is lunchbreak.

I fixed my things and went out of our school. I went to the stall to have my lunchbreak. “What kind of friend they are? They don’t even know how to wait. They are really such a stubborn,” I said while looking for a table. And then after a while I found a table. I put my things on my chair, get my money and order some food. After a couple of minutes, I’m done eating then get my thing and go back to our school. A furious car came out of sight and dumped me. Skreeeeeeeech. Everything went black and all I can remember I is a girl that approached and helped me. Weeks past, my head is heavy when I woke up and looking around in a four-corner room. I get up and about to breathe fresh air but suddenly there’s a note on a table that caught my attention. After that, I went near the table get the note and wonder where it came from. It was a letter from Kyla Fabregas saying:

“It’s gonna be alright, you will overcome all these. I’m lucky that I was there. I don’t know if you still remember me. I’m the girl that gave you my favorite book. And did you already see the book that I left over your pillow? I hope you like it.”

Love,

Kyla

After reading the letter, I rushed to my bed to look for the book. And when I finally found it. I read it right away. And then I realized that it was all about the story on how first met. That the book entitled” Library”.

He is having a hard time making friends at school until one day, a girl came and talked to him. Her name is Reign Santos, She was pretty and simple. Later on, they became friends. They were so close to each other and made a lot of memories together. And as time passed by, Jake developed feelings for Reign and wanted to confess it. When he confessed his feelings to Reign, she burst into happiness because she was feeling the same way as Jake and they’ve decided to take their relationship to another level. Their love grew and was happy with each other. They made a promised that no one will be left behind and they will be lovers forever. They even had plans for the future. That is how happy they were as couples. One day, Jake got in on the varsity and played basketball. Reign was on full support on her boyfriend. Every game she was there to cheer her boyfriend, and not a single game did they lose. One day, when jake was about to play at the semi-finals, reign was nowhere to be found.

Before I die, I want you to know that I love you so much and please don’t be sad I’m here with you until the end. People come to our life to teach us something special, but once they leave, it doesn’t mean they’re gone, They will always have a special place in our hearts. I hope I’m that person. Thank you and Till’ we meet again.  Thank you and Till’ we meet again.

Life of a Salettinian Senior High School

By: Reiner Sarsuela

The life of a senior high school student is never easy. Since when the new curriculum is implemented in the whole country many senior high school students our pressured, because of the new system in education.  Most of us our stress, because there are a lot of school works to be submitted on time. My own experience as a senior high school student including my friends is obviously not easy. When my first senior high school exprienced before is I feel nervous. Because during that time I was shocked what the teachers explained to us on how to deal and act as an senior high school student. I thought before that I May fail Anytime, because of the high standard that was given to us. My two friends before also felt the same too, because they are also pressured and stress just like me. Nathan and Kim are my friends before when we are still in our junior years, the three of us our sometimes lazy in doing our school work like assignments, projects, and some activities. But we don't do that kind of habit. Then after that years,  we finally completed our 4 years in junior high school life and get ready to face our final 2 years course in senior high school. In our first year as a senior student  we also feel stress because there are a lot of requirements to be done and submitted on time just like when i say in the first part of the story. But that is reality we need to do our part us a student.  Because those things will help us to be more responsible and a wise person in the future. But us a salettian student, they are preparing is in the future in order for us to be excellent and more prepared person to face the future with no fear. I know the day will come all of the sacrifices will be worth it. And that is a life of a salettian here at La Salette of San Mateo.

Sign

By: Christian Salvador

I'm Christian, a senior highschool grade 12 student of  LSM and I'm now 17 yrs old. I do admit that it is really hard to  become a student because of the hard activities and requirements that i need to be done on time. Today, I feel so tired just because of stress or maybe I already push myself to my limit that's why I feel so weak. I go to my room and lay to my bed to rest. I slowly close my eyes and i fall asleep. cring cring cring I wake up because of my alarm and see my wall clock and it was 4:20 in the morning. I need to cook my breakfast, iron my clothes and prepare myself because I need to go to school right on time. I feel so lazy this day, actually I feel so lazy everyday. When I enter our classroom in the morning, I wonder why are my classmates are all reviewing and I find out that there is a quiz in contemporary arts but still I don't care and I don't review because I think that the quiz is only true or false or it is just easy so what's the reason for me to review I said to myself. After the quiz we check our papers and I only got 9/20 and I think that it's okay atleast I have a sckre. It's now breaktime and I was with my friends eating at the cafeteria and we all go to the cr after we eat. When the bell rings we still don't care and still walk like a snail and when our teacher notice that we are late, we are all scolded and commanded to stand at the corridor the whole period. It's already afternoon and we all go home straight. I was near at the balcony of our house then I hear my parents arguing to each other about my allowance in school. I hear to my mother that they don't have money anymore that's why they need to borrow money from bumbay. After hearing that, I realizes that I need to study hard because this is the simolest way to repay all the sacrifices of my parents. I begin to review at home and in school. I listen well to my teachers. It's exam day and I feel comfortable because I know all the answers because I reviewed well yesterday and as a result I pass all the subjects in first semester. Highschool life is really hard but I realized that it's okay to just go with the flow but I also don't forget to do my very best because senior highschool grades are basis in college. Now, I don't care how hard senior highschool is as long as I'm doing my best and enjoying every moment. It's a tuesday afternoon and we are all going home after our class. Me and my friends are walking along the way. I was in front of them when I cross the pedestrian lane. I walk fast because I'm very excited to go home and show to my parents my test paper with a high score. When I'm at the middle of the Highway I hear a horn of a 10-wheeler truck beeeeppppp and I bump by it. I've thrown away. I already feel dizzy and it seems like my body is floating in the air. I already hear a buzzing sounds in my head. I feel many blood flowing at my cheek. My heart is already beating slow. I can't move even my pinky finger. I can't breathe anymore. My ayesight is turning into dark. ~ I open my eyes and see a ceiling. My heart is beating fast and my sweat is flowing. I feel so weak but at the same time a relieve because... It's just a dream.

Senior High a “Challenging One”

By: Paul Jaylord Raymundo

All of us has a dream to pursue a career. As a young dreamer, a student I learned much when I was in Junior High School level. But now I'm facing a new stage of my life as a Senior High School (SHS) .Senior High School is an advanced level than Junior High School because Senior High comes to be a challenging part of my life. All I need is to become matured in all the things that I have to do, plan things well before doing it with all my strength. Being a Senior High student, here's some of my daily experiences. Good day! My name is Paul Jaylord Corpuz Raymundo,17 years old, live at San Mateo Isabela. I'm in Grade 12,I studied at La Salette of San Mateo Incorporated (LSM). Being a Senior High student, it is more challenging than I was in grade 11, but according to the K-12 education system curriculum, it will gave us more benefits as students because we will learned more skills in preparation for us to be more effective in doing things that we need to do. Though, we are the first batch of students in this curriculum, I expect that this two years of schooling will enhance my skills to improve, to explore and to learn more skills and develop my abilities that will help me when I go to College level. As a student, my life becomes a little bit difficult.      Usually for us students waking up early in the morning is difficult and challenging for me. I woke up 5:30 in the morning, usually I prayed and thanked God for giving me another life. Then, I prepared myself to go to school. Preparing things needed to school,taking a bath,eat my breakfast and walk a little bit and wait for the tricycle to arrive. That was my daily routine during school days. Being a Senior High School student, I'll do my best I can be to become a responsible person. I am a simple shy type person but Iam doing my best to passed all the requirement needed to get a high grade and makes my parents and relatives happy and proud of me. Sometimes I also experience difficulties in reviewing and making my projects in my own. Being a senior high school student I felt peer pressure sometimes, but I overcome it through the help of my friends. As a student ,I have to clear of my mind and focus on reviewing my lessons everyday and finishing all the school work and projects before the deadline. In our school I have lots of friends that are really friendly and kind. The changing of new curriculum  makes it more difficult for me, because I am really confused about that Senior High. But after the orientation made by the teachers of LSM I felt contented on what I've heard about the explanations of our teachers. A few months from now I am looking forward to enter college life, and I will do my very best to reach my dream in life. As what I promised to my family that I will graduate and be successful someday. I believe in the saying that “Never give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine.” Not giving up is our weapon against all the walls that will challenge us, just believe in yourself that you can do it… because nothing is impossible if you believe in yourself that you can do it and have faith God. Challenges are meant to be met and overcome.

Experience as a Stepping Stone

By: Athena Krista Tolentino

*Kriiingg kriiiiinnnggggg*

“Ugh! What an annoying sound!” Lavinia said while stretching her hands looking for her alarm clock. When she finally found it… “OH MY GOD! Mom! I’m already late!” she shouted as she ran fast towards her mother.

Lavinia: Mom, why didn’t you wake me? Look, I only have 20 minutes to prepare before going to school and I still have homework to do that I didn’t finish last night. Mr. Torres gives us tons of works.

Mother: If only you didn’t hang out with your friends last night, you would have finished your homework. Go, fix your things and prepare for your school.

And she went in their bathroom to have a bath.

Lavinia Heart is a Grade 12 Student of Far Eastern University and an honor student. She’s well known as a hardworking and very responsible student which admired by all her teachers. Despite of being an honor student, she also has a lot of friends.

As days passed by, there were more and more requirements given to the class of Lavinia by different teachers from different subjects. She then started to get stressed with all the performance tasks to be submitted all at once.

Not knowing what to do, her friend Annie approached her and said “What’s the matter? Chill. There’s still time for us to finish the work. Come, Join us. We’ll be having a party at Caitlyn’s house. It will be a blast! Please be there, for me? We’re friends, right?”

Lavinia replied “I can’t. My parents are counting on me. I need to make them proud.  We are the graduating batch, remember?”

Annie: “O, come on! Just this once?  The last party we went to last night was plain and boring. Caitlyn’s party this night? It will be so much better than the last one.”

Lavinia: But I already got late this morning because of Gary’s party last night”

Annie: “Come on, please? For me? Please come”

Lavinia: “Alright, I’ll see you later then.”

Before she goes to the party, she went home first. When she saw her mother, she said “Mom! I’ll go to Caitlyn’s house. We’ll finish our research paper because tomorrow is the deadline of it.”

“Okay. Be home at 9:00 pm. Take care, honey.” her mom said.

They then went to Caitlyn’s party to enjoy a little bit. To get rid of all the stress from school and home works they have.

Because of so much fun, she forgot her curfew. She then quickly checks her phone and she saw 50 missed calls from her mom. When she’s about to go home, Annie approached her and whispered that Lavinia’s mother called awhile back to say that it’s already passed midnight and yet she’s not home, and her mother also said that she saw Caitlyn’s post in her Instagram.

Lavinia: What did you post, Caitlyn?!!

Caitlyn: You being drunk.

The next morning, she got up late for school. She looked at the time and was shocked to see that she only has ten minutes left to be in school on time. And worse, It’s Examination Day! She tried to fix her things and went to school but failed for she was already fifteen minutes late. Gates are closed starting from 8 am to 11:30 in the morning and does not accept any students that come to school late.

Lavinia was not able to take her examinations. Her parents were also called to speak with the principal and her adviser. The principal reported to Lavinia’s parents her doings and decisions lately. And gave her a warning.

Lavinia was bombarded by her conscience so much as she reflected with her decisions lately.

She remembered what she saw in a movie once, that “What you choose in your path, you will carry it throughout your life.”

She then asked for forgiveness and made a fresh new start for her to finish her race in life on time. She also helped Annie and her friends as her study mates. They all graduated with flying colors and renewed their lives. They became stable and gave back to their families the love and support in exchange to all the sacrifices and efforts of their families as the breadwinners.

Lavinia: “Mom, Dad, all of my success is all for you. Thank you for giving me another chance. Thank you, Lord for giving me my two best friends. I entrust everything to You, Lord. Amen.”

Now that she is a successful and a registered detective, Lavinia experienced handling such odd cases and reports in her jurisdiction.

Caller 1: “Hello? Ma’am? Are you there? Please come quick! You see, our police station just got robbed, and we need an investigator right away, Ma’am. We really need your help in order for us to crack the case…”

Caller 2: “Ma’am, this is your Secretary speaking, I just got a call from line 2, she reports a burning down of a fire station in a nearby town. The City Mayor seeks your help in finding out who did this, Ma’am.

And other reports regarding the problems in her community. But despite all the pile of work that she needs to finish, she never forgets to pray before, during and after work. As she stops by a nearby Church to ask God for assistance in all the trials that come her way. She never forgets to give attention to her loved ones as she brings home doughnuts and fries as she goes home every 7 o’clock in the evening. All is well as Lavinia gives all her love and effort for the people and things she loved.

 THE END

Passion

By: Justine Tabuac

“Art must comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable,” Vincent thought to himself. This is what he thinks whenever he’s bothered or anxious about something that he loves and that is, art. He is an artist. Even when he was just a young boy, he would ask his mother to buy him coloring books and materials instead of toys unlike any other kid. Vincent is not the type of kid of excels in school but his grades are still good. What really matters to him the most is his art. In his school, Vincent is the president of art club. Whenever there is a competition, he’s always glad to volunteer. Everything was going so well until Vincent has to transfer to another school. He is yet unfolding another chapter of his life. He will now be a senior high school student.

As he prepares himself for school, he can’t help to think of how his life is to change. “Will I have new friends?”, “Are they going to be nice?”, “Will they like me?”, and “Do they have art clubs just like in my alma matter?” Though Vincent is unease, he went to school with courage and confidence and with a little bit of nervousness. After all, he’s the kind of guy you can easily get along with and also the kind of kind guy who can survive alone. He’s currently on his way to his new classroom and his expecting that every one of them are going to be nice to him and after all how bad can it be? The school looks nice, the faculty and staff were also nice to transferees like him so this must be a great start. When he came in, it was like a chaos! Everyone was really excited to meet one another while some already knew each other. He immediately picked his chair and just sat down waiting for the teacher so that he or she could make the class calm down. While he’s patiently waiting, Vincent decided to draw a little something just to get out of boredom until some of his classmates approached him.

MATT: “Hey! I’m Matt! What’s your name?”

JONAH: “Oh and I’m Jonah!”

MAX: “And I’m Max!”

VINCENT, a little shocked:  “O-oh! Hello. My name is Vincent. Are you guys new here too?”

MATT: “Yes! I and Jonah are still new faces just like you but Max here, is an old student from this school. We just noticed you and decided to say hello.”

VINCENT: “That’s so nice of you guys!”

MAX: “Vincent, I noticed that you were drawing something earlier. Do you like art?”

VINCENT: “Yes! It is kind of my passion. I’m planning to join art club but I don’t know if they have it in this school.”

MAX: “Silly! Of course they have! And you’re talking to the right guy! I’m one of the officers of art club. In fact, we are going to hold a meeting next week for people who are willing to join. Just prepare something!”

Vincent was filled with excitement when he heard the news and so he spent his whole first week preparing something good but with that skill, he doesn’t have to put much effort! He’s just so good at it. And so the week came and expectedly, Vincent got in! Every Wednesday, there will be art class so Vincent is always looking forward for this day of the week. And he even met a girl. A very kind and beautiful girl, he thought to himself. She’s not only kind and beautiful but also a great artist as well! Her name is Nicole. Vincent didn’t talk to her yet because he doesn’t know what to say but he always admire how good she is. The one time, there is this project where they have to be paired and Vincent and Nicole was paired up. Nicole was so natural while on the other hand, Vincent is too shy and nervous but they did well. After that, they became closer and closer to each other. They always hang, talk, and draw with each other. They even started going out and Vincent admitted his feelings for Nicole and he was so sure that Nicole would feel the same way and they would be a really happy couple but after he confessed, Nicole started ignoring Vincent. She barely even come to art class anymore until Vincent cannot take anymore and he decided to forcedly talk to Nicole and ask her why. And there, Nicole told him everything. That it was because of her parents. She just doesn’t want Vincent to get hurt. Even from the start, Nicole’s parents disproved her love for art because for them, there is no future on it and she knew that if they found out about Vincent, they will be mad not only to her but only to him. She was just trying to protect him. Vincent’s love for Nicole didn’t stop and he was just waiting for the right time. He managed to encourage Nicole to attend art class again. One day, the officers announced that there is going to be and art competition that is going to be held nationwide and Nicole and Vincent are the ones who are tasked to represent their school because of their excellent skills. Nicole refused because she knew that her parents are going to be mad at her but little did she know, Vincent went personally talked to her parents and he managed to convince them.

NICOLE’S FATHER: Just this once. She has to prove herself to us!

VINCENT: I PROMISE YOU SIR, YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED AT YOUR DAUGHTER!

So, happily, Vincent told this to Nicole and they were so happy! The competition day came and Vincent and Maria are so nervous but they don’t have to be! The competitors all look so good but the results came and they got the first place! Nicole’s parents were proud and Vincent gave Nicole a small painting, it was a sunflower and as a gift to Vincent, she gave him a kiss and said, “I love you, Vincent.”

Encounter

By: Remington Santos

At the very first time that I heard about K-12 Curriculum, I was worried because of the extra two years of studying. I don’t know why they did implement this curriculum. Junior High School is really hard for me, what more for being a Senior High School Student. As time passed by, Senior High School is coming to me and I think I’m not ready for it. The moving up ceremony is done and finally I’m a Senior High School Student. I’m not sure of what strand I’m going to take and school where I am going to enroll. I’m running out of time but finally, I chose General Academic Strand known as GAS in La Salette of San Mateo Incorporated. In the beginning of being a Senior High School Student, it was quiet easy; it was like Junior High School, too. As time goes by, the life of being Senior High School Student is going harder and harder. I reached my limits, I felt tired and stressed. I also saw other students experienced what I’m experiencing. My life become cruel and I want to cry but I realized that crying will not help me. I told myself that this for me, for my family and especially for my future. I’m thankful for my family who cheers me up when I feel down. I felt inspired whenever I think of them, and also my friends who keep me happy all the time when I’m with them. My family and friends motivated me. I made the hindrances in my way as motivations, I accepted that the life of being a Senior High School Student and are the same when it comes to struggles in life. Now, I’m used to it already. I can handle the things to do. I’m really enjoying being a Senior High School Student. I faced many challenges and I also learned new things. Yes, it is really hard but I always think that it is for me. I become more mature of the decisions I’m making. Senior High School is nearly over I wish I could turn back the time so I can bring back either good or bad memories. Now, I feel that I’m ready for college life because of the K- 12 Curriculum. I’m ready for the next chapter of my life.

Graduate

By: Mary Gold Sales

Hi, my name is JOHN NEIL, and I am a senior at Lyceum High School and this will be may 12th year in this school because I started studying here since grade 1 and being here for almost 12th year witness how our school change and how the students change because of different culture and attitudes and because of this I want to tell story about high life most specially being senior high school when I was on elementary I was too excited to Graduate because I want to experience highs school life because they say high school life I the best and I want to experience that but the notion in my mind  when Its graduation in elementary everything has chance because I know there will be leaving soon and there will be new to meet grade 7 to 10 is fun and unforgettable year but I know like in elementary some will leave also and it happen when grade 11 is coming from 110 to 43 now and the senior high started grade 11 is we expect too much from my classmates and teachers and I being one of the officers also makes more struggle because you think about your study and also your duty  and now I was grade 12 and another story begins. I will just tell you that being a senior high school today is not easy.

Someone tell me that I don’t know what stress all about and it is and to just wait until we grow up. But I as teenager being students have my own levels of stress. Like, the school activities want your to be that high together with the expectations that you receive from your parents

Then, making your homework turned to simple, but you still want to have a life outside of school.. Many senior high school students in our school  start their first job, so now we have school in the morning next by responsibilities needing to do at home.

By the time you are done at your homework or requirements, you are too tired to finish your school work, but you stay up late to try to study for the next day.

Now,they  remind us that we are becoming collage soon and some of the students have involved in a relationships. Of course that doesn’t give a exemptions from homework, but it makes our life stressful when you are trying to have a relationship as well your are studying.

I also experienced being bullied. I feel  judged and disrespect in a place where I should be accepted.

 Let’s not forget about peer pressure. All high school students are open to it at some point in their life. High school is a place where students are made fun and also rejected.

Each of us has a choice on how to accept these challenges in our life, and for that, I choose my faith. I have express some of the challenges I face in being senior high school a student.

My point is, it is a whole lot more stressful to be a senior high school student e. Though it shouldn’t be this way, it only gets worse as years pass by. And I still constantly being judged, especially for what I believe in and what I want to do.

My mom always tells me to enjoy it while I can it being a typical high school student. I know that the world outside of our school is more harsh and  the responsibilities are more serious. That’s exactly what I saw  to my future it is also important to say thanks to the people help me to my way into a career that I want and it will allow me  enjoy who and what I become.
