Just Sad

I feel sad as I wear my school uniform these days for in a matter of time I will be shedding my blouse and skirt. I can just look back and reminisce all the wonderful parts of my life that I had spent in Negros Occidental High School. Being a senior graduating is the most difficult part of the year. It is where we have to bid our high school friends goodbye. Its the end of our camaraderie and the beginning of our new adventure in life. It may hurt but we have to accept the fact that another stage is finished and we have to part ways. This coming April 7 marks the end of my high school life. Indeed, everyone will glad to receive his or her diploma, the prize of each effort for the four years in school. And how much more when you receive an award. It gives joy to us specially receiving it on stage with our parents. But this award is not as precious as we continue to pursue life, to achieve our goals. The important thing is not about the award but what the days would be after graduation. As what I learned, knowledge and learnings are more important than fame, trophies and recognition. Learn things and apply them to ourselves. Graduation is recognizing the students who had overcome the years spent in school. Marching on that day is the sign of how we strive and succeed. Graduation is not a mere event but a ceremony in which we prove that we are well-prepared on the new pages. As we enter the new chapters of our life, may we never forget the lessons and values of life that high school had imparted to us. May we forever treasure the moments and the memories of these four years in which we face problems and overcome them with God.

Summer time is family time At last, another school-year of challenges is finished. From the difficult tests to the constant projects, our chance to finally unwind and spend a meaningful vacation has come. This summer, my destination is Iloilo. I am excited about my trip with my family and the thought that I will be swimming in the river and visit the bakery, where we can get whatever we want makes me smile. The fresh air at the countryside will be a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle in Bacolod City. I can go whatever I want in the barangay that I will be spending my vacation in because almost all of the people are my relatives. Aside from this, I also have many tasks in the summer mainly because of my bid to get a scholarship in the United States. I have lots of requirements to finish and I will also be preparing myself as the Ambassador of Goodwill for the Philippines. I also plan to enhance my public speaking skills, learn more

about our countrys history, culture and traditions. I also intend to learn how to cook and be more independent. The thought of summer vacation exhilarates me because after a long time, I will be able to spend more time with my family.
