How I Want to Be Remembered After I Leave High School

Four years before, I started to enter the realms of UP High School. At first, I was scared because I thought my expectations will fail. That expectation is to have more friends and that I can find real friends. When I was in elementary, I was really active in class and also when it comes to my classmates and friends. But after I graduated in elementary, the world had its counterclockwise direction. A lot of changes happened; I started to become silent and sometimes a loner. Loner, not in the sense of being alone but in a sense of going out with only few friends which is still my best friends until now. I started to become sensitive with my environment during that time. That was not my real attitude. My attitude is that of being happy, active, jolly, joker, friendly and not that silent type of person. That is really who I am. I am a childish person because since I was young I didn’t have a sibling to play with but I played with my friends. If my friends are not there, I used to play alone guided by my grandma because my mom had to work.

When I entered high school, I started to have a low self-esteem and low self-confidence. Sometimes, I got sad and depressed because of my low self-esteem. I am a type of person who really loves to have friends but since I showed them at first that attitude, the silent me, they thought that I am not that friendly and approachable.

I told myself, that if I will continue that kind of personality, I will easily lose hope because of lack of inspiration. My inspirations in life are God, my family and my friends. When, I think of them, I gained hope. Because of that realization, I learned a lesson.

The lesson I learned is the saying that, “Be yourself”. If you are being yourself, you will learn to know your strengths and weaknesses. Because of what I did when I entered high school, I had a hard time discovering the real me. It came to a point wherein I got stranded in an island because I lost the real me. But with the help of God, my family and friends, my inspirations in life, they rescued me from the misery I experienced.

I understand that we have to adjust to our environment but we must bear in mind that we should adjust accordingly by making sure that we don’t forget our real identity and personality. Once we adjust, we forgot ourselves. Thanks to my batch mates, who are one of my saviors. They led me to the right path. I will not forget all the memories that we have shared and experienced together. I really thanked God for giving me such good classmates and also good friends. I can really say that they are really different from other friends that I’ve known. In good times and in bad, we all held hands and we have recovered from the tragic events we’ve experienced.

Guys, you molded me into becoming a good person.

Thank you so much for being part of my life. Thanks for making my high school life enjoyable and memorable.

This is what I wanted to be remembered when I leave high school.

BATCH 2006-2007! GOD BLESS AND GOD SPEED!
