If its the last sem of the school year, bakit di ako masaya? Siguro naman, after 5 years sa high school, magsasawa na rin ako no?...
Hindi eh...
5 years in the Ateneo will teach you that. Repeating first year will teach you that. Seeing your former batchmates in college will teach you that...
Its not that i don't want to graduate, pero alam mo na, you can ( and most probably will) get attached to your high school classmates. It's that stage in life when your God-given hormones start acting up and we go through a lot of changes. High school is the place were you will mostly learn most of what you THINK there is to life that will prepare you fo the real thing after college. Let's face it, high school, the Ateneo especially, isn't exactly the epitome of moral and spiritual growth. In fact, its the complete opposite! This is where teenagers magical four-letter words that will soon become a normal part of every sentence. Porn becomes a tradable commodiy. Inuman sessions is soon integrated in sleep-overs for "projects". In short, high school becomes a haven for everything "fun" in this world...
pero is this entirely bad?
Tecnically speaking, yes, it is bad!(tinatanong pa ba yun?) pero the lessons that we gather from these experiences will be what we use for the rest of our lives... The lessons of Brotherhood, Temptation, Failure, Never Giving Up, Comraderie, and Family, most importantly, are those that we will never forget because we have earned these first-hand! 20 years from now, when you have teenagers of your own, and they say that you don't understand what they're going through, you can reply," Alam mo anak, wala pa yan sa kagaguhan na ginawa ko nung kasing edad kita. Di ko matatangging nasiyahan ako dun. Pero nalaman ko na mali pa rin yun at sana'y di mo na matularan pa sa akin. Kung gusto mong uminom, halika, inom tayo..."
If you're still wondering why i don't want high school to end is because i'll have a great class to leave behind! I love my class,kahit na nagkakagaguhan at nagkakaasaran o sakitan man! They have become the brothers that I never had!(kahit si Dave, sige na nga, tatawagin ko na ring bro ko...hahahaha) Except the class is on borrowed time... last few months na natin to sa high school... at over staying na rin ako... Most likely, mahihirapan na tayong makapag get together after a few years... less and less time for each other... But that doesn't mean that we stop being 4h. No, di pwedeng mawala yun sa atin. Inuukit na yun sa mga puso natin for the past 2 years and 6 months...
So, ayun na nga, its fun ranting about how much i'll miss high school, pero i don't think na this entry is enough... No, nowhere near as enough. The only way to give justice to the last sem is to live it as if it were the last sem of our high school lives. Because in reality, it really is...
"This is the high school life for me,
just waiting for the next thing to see...
The friends we keep,
We took a daring leap,
Just to be who we want us to be"
Yes, this is how i want to remember my high school life...
