Transferring school is something that is scarier than horror movies, than riding rides, or than getting blood taken out from you. It is scarier in my part because this is my first time transferring after a decade, so imagine the horror of socializing without any specific approach in mind. The first few weeks of mine in TIP felt like a tiring routine, like I have to go here so I can make my parents happy. I was very awkward, the thought of me introducing myself is draining already, I coulnd’t even find my voice everytime someone talks to me. Nung inayos yung seating arrangement, I remembered thanking God for having a seatmate like Vivian and Reighn, syempre awkward nung una talaga, pero for me, once na may maging friend ako, okay na; parang everything is bearable na, ganun. I’m more than thankful to those who approached me first, I’m very sorry I’m an awkward bih, I really appreciate it and I love y’all :(( 

Aside from my awful first few months experience, the teachers are actually good! I remembered not taking my studies seriously because in my past school, the teachers doesn’t even have their passion while teaching, kaya petiks lang ako non kasi depende sa tingin ng teacher sa’yo yung grade mo. Sa TIP, gaganahan ka mag-aral kasi you know that the teachers really want you to learn something. Almost all of them are young, and you can see their passion, na kahit hindi ko talaga gusto yung subject oks lang. 

I don’t really like events in school, I barely join them; but I love watching them!! The first event was the Buwan ng Wika, that time wala pa akong kilala masyado sa TIP so nakaupo lang ako most of the time. Nung intrams, magkasama lahat ng shs students, including the AM sections kaya mas nag-enjoy ako since meron akong tropa sa AM. Ayon, todo suporta at kain lang din naman ang ginawa sa intrams week, medyo magulo yung sched pero nahandle naman ng maayos. (blurred pic lmao). 

It’s been a few months and I think I’ve improved already? TIP is like the sign of hope I’ve been waiting for years, I’ve lost my passion in everything, I didn’t want to study anymore but that was before I enrolled in TIP; the environment encourages you to do better, that you still have a chance to make right decisions for the future. I’ve met a lot of great people, my classmates that are very bright and talented!! I don’t show a lot of emotions but I actually love them huhu. As of now, I’m really enjoying the 2nd sem because I’m already in the place where I’m more than ready to socialize, it took a long time but progress is still a progress, nevertheless, I’m ready for more moments to spend with them :)))

These are the friends that I made in the process of me healing, I love how supportive they are even though I’m a handful haha. TIP got way better after hanging out with them. Thank you for staying and encouraging me to continue. 

Special mention to the one that I met in TIP that made it easier to be happy and just to ~vibe~ in everything that life has thrown. The happiness that I feel now is incomparable to the emotions that I feel from the past years, I’ve never been this happy so thank you and I love youu!!! 

Ending this blog with a thank you to TIP for introducing me to a lot of great people, professors, and environment; it’s barely a year but you made me believe in things that I didn’t believe back then as a result of hopelessness. 2019 might have thrown a lot of bad things to me, but TIP made it better, TIP is not kidding when they said they are the tip of the top of the world.  I’ll do my best to be a better friend, classmate, and a better TIP-ian.
