CHAP III - SHS JOURNEY

Hard.

Never take the things we have for granted. Be grateful for everything and let us always keep our heads up no matter what. Believe in ourselves, believe in God, believe that we will all make it. We are going to succeed. Hard. They said Senior High School life is very stressful. That you will not have the luxury of getting some rest and that all of the major subjects are very difficult to pass on. But is Senior High School really that hard?

Summer of ‘18. I can say that I very well enjoyed every bit of my vacation to the fullest. I am spending time with my friends biking and with my family swimming the whole summer long.

As my Senior High School life is nearing, I am still unsure of what school to go to. I got FEU Alabang in mind and Perpetual Calamba. The idea of attending FEU Alabang was disregarded because we thought it wasn’t open yet and Perpetual Calamba was out of consideration after hearing some negative feedbacks.

My best friends wants all of us to study on different schools so that we will have unique set of uniforms. 

Some time passed, SSC-R Canlubang got into considerations of my school for senior high after a good friend of mine told me to go and join him there. I am not excited to study here at that time because I thought this school is very boring. During my first day, I am very nervous to go to school because I don’t know where to go to commute. I’m afraid that I might get lost. I was also hesitant to ask my father to service me everyday because he goes to work very early. Then the orientation started at mini theater, good thing I have classmates from my previous school so I am not out of place.

As weeks go by, I learned how to properly commute because of my new found friends. Good thing there is a shuttle service in Baste, I just need to go the pickup points in time. Senior High is not that hard. I mean there may be subjects or lessons I’m struggling a little bit with but I am not having a hard time on it. I am getting enough rest and it is not that stressful.

First semester ended and not to brag about it but just proud to be part of the Top 10 in our strand in Grade 11. It feels good because I know I did my best and I gave my all. Then I started talking to some guy. I have no feelings for him by that time, he’s not my crush. It’s just like that I am very curious about him. He rarely speaks at the classroom and I didn’t even know that he is my classmate.

Days will pass, he makes me blush because he would talk to me everyday and would reply as soon as he can even if I’m taking too long to reply back. Then he started confessing his feelings for me before the start of second semester.

He would court me for months to pass. I could feel his love for me and somehow I know he does the same too from me. We may not always be on good terms like we always face things that challenges how strong we are but I know he is the one. I gave him my yes by January the next year. Love is give and take. I help him in his Mathematics and he helps me in my English. Tougher and bigger challenges came to our relationship, we got tested. It’s not that easy being a student and having in a relationship at the same time. I mean our parents knew about us but maybe it is really not the time for it. But I can’t leave him. He makes me happy. Makes me feel contented and loves me in a very special way. I don’t wanna lose him. Not ever.

Despite the challenges in my love life, I have keep my academic life in good form. I maintained my position in the Top 10 and even ranked up. The school year 2018-19 ended. We managed to get awards on the Recognition rites and that’s because we pushed and motivated each other. We make each other our inspiration and will to move forward, to go on, and do our very bests.

It wasn’t that hard being a senior high school student. Yes, we have first impressions. Maybe Baste’s events is not as good as from the CI’s but it wasn’t that boring at all like I thought it would be. I even managed to meet some people that be in my hearts and mind even if we’ll soon venture on different paths.

As long you will study and do your best, Senior High won’t be hard. Choose the right people to be with. Who will help you grow as a person, who will be there at tough times, and who will be the one to lean on when the world is not on your side. Life never stops teaching. We’re not perfect. We commit mistakes. There comes the time we fall short but there is always room for improvement. We continue learning. Adulthood is about to come. We should be thankful we got to experience senior high before college because that will be the real thing. It won’t be hard as long as we’ll focus on the first things first. Relationships and other stuff may come second because our priority at our age right now is to study.

Never take the things we have for granted. Be grateful for everything and let us always keep our heads up no matter what. Believe in ourselves, believe in God, believe that we will all make it. We are going to succeed.
