Adios UP Familia!

Three months to go and we, together with my batch mates, will graduate from a school full of dreams and highly respected. UP has been very kind to all of us. In this school, we learn to accept mistakes and pursue on our dreams. During our high school years, we began to develop ourselves and discover our strengths and weaknesses. We find our companions and true friends. Students are so friendly and the teachers as well who are just like the students.

High School life has been so good and bad for me. I think it prepares me for the coming of such a big challenge. I’ve learn to understand myself by observing and learning my society. School has been my second home. For me, it is a ground for becoming a more improved person. It is a stage where infatuations, crushes, puppy love and even your love begin. We are all growing and we are starting to act like gentlemen and ladies. And in the coming months, what we are all going to do is to treasure the memories we have shared to each other because we are going to another stage in life- the college life. I will remember the times of my ups and downs together with my friends. The laughter and the sorrows we experienced and we helped to solve together. Each step in life becomes tougher. And to conquer these defeats is not accomplished by one’s self but rather the help of others as well. Unity brings us closer. We need each other. I learned all of these when I reached high school and it’s times for us to level-up to a tougher and challenging one.

I am so lucky that I studied in UP because I have the chance to meet very nice and comforting classmates. They are always there to support. They are not selfish. We don’t mind of our mistakes, we make them as a tool for improvement. Without them, my life would be meaningless, colorless and dull.

UP family has been one my inspirations to move forward and aim for the best. They shaped me and developed me into a better person.

When I graduate in high school, I will never forget. I will never forget the memories of people who give meaning to my life. Even though being in fourth year is exhausting especially that I am a student leader, I don’t easily lose hope because my friends are there to advice.

Time is really fast, isn’t it? When I enter the realms of UP, I was still naïve that time. But I realized that being naïve can bring you to danger and that you must fight for your right and continue to adjust because only one thing is constant in this world and that is what we call CHANGE.

UP Family taught me to change. Change to become better. Change to become greater and change for the common good. I thank my batch mates, the faculty, the students and the people who became a part of the UP family because without them, I am not like now. When I set my foot outside the realms of UP High, I will treasure the memories we have put up together and I promise if I have the time, I will go back to UP. I will miss my batch mates and the faculty who have been so caring and so friendly. Until next time, UP, my Alma Mater! Adios!
