Ihad the perfect cook for a mom, the big strong dad that could fix anything no matter how broke it seemed a younger sister as my best friend, and a younger brother to make me in best mode every time I talk to him. Everything that I had known as a kid was fun filled, from running in our fields with my dad or trying to convince myself I liked tomatoes to be like the rest of the family. 5 years ago,the worst thing had happened to me is when my grandfather and my cousin died. My grandfather died because of colon cancer while my cousin died because of dengue. She got 50-50 in the hospital and it makes me all cry. After that, a new angel comes to our family.

School and I got an award in our graduation. I spend my secondary education at Munoz National High School- Main. Now I’m a graduating student at the same school and enjoying this happy moment with my two years classmate. I never really thought about where my life was going. I always believed life took me where I wanted to go, I never thought that I was the one who took myself were I wanted to go. Once I enter college in August I changed the way I thought. This is I chose to go to college. I believe that college will give me the keys to unlock the doors of life. This way I can choose for myself where I go instead of someone choosing for me. I have chosen to go to the local community…

MEMOIR

’’My Senior High School Life”

It can be strange when you forget the most unforgettable part of your senior high school life. For me, Senior High School memories are the best part in high school days. I can say that memories in high school are like treasure that you can keep forever even if there’s no forever. Memories that you can never be erase in your mind and cherish for the rest of your life. Once I remember the experiences or memories in the past it makes my heart flutter. I feel a sudden joy when it flashback again. Those memories will never forget in my whole life. Being in Senior High School is great .It is also cool and has a lot of fun.

As a Senior High School student, there are lots of emotions. You have friends that will comfort you when you need them. Bullies are still there and I think it will never be lost. There also different traits of person that you will meet. One of them are plastic, there’s also blessing in the skies, a personality like an angel and most of the entire one that everybody loves. In this chapter, I experienced many things and some of it gave me lesson to learn, a love to grow and pain to change people like me.

On my first day in Senior High, I feel like there’s a butterfly in my stomach and a little bit excitement. I feel fuss because there’s a new faces, new people, new teacher, new subject, and of course new different personality that I’m going to socialize. There’s also a curiosity that comes in my mind during the first day of class. I’m with my old friend during the first day of class, we are looking our classroom and after that we saw a good place to start in learning. I enjoy my first day in school at Munoz National Senior High School because I felt that this is the start of another chapter in my life.

In Grade 11, I am familiar with some of my classmates because in my Junior High School they are my schoolmates. I also met strangers in this level that makes me happy because they are my friends now. We form love from one another that makes everybody so happy and we make a one big happy family. We in traduced ourselves to each other with full of confidence and no feeling of being shame and make friend from one another like we already know each other. Being with my new family is a blessing for me and I love it. Blessings that no one and no things can replace it. I experience many things and learn to improve my skills in everything. At this moment being Grade 12 student, I learn how to accept failures and be thankful of what you have. We also join different activities in this grade level. We join speech choir, aerobics dance, and so on. I learn that every time the groups perform they need to be united and trust each other because this is the key to success. In our performance even if we fail, we don’t lose hope because once is not enough and try and try until you succeed.

In my Senior High School life, I also experienced to love and to be loved. These memories are the most treasurable one. I met a guy who taught me how not to love yourself but also to love others. I’m so happy that he came into my life and he brings joy to me. Now that his here in my life, he completed every missing part of it. He opened the door for me and let the light come in. First, I never worried that he will not leave me because everything is just fine. He loves me with no doubt, no fear, and no regret. He loves me like he loved himself. We broke our love to each other. We return from being strangers again and I had no choice to say goodbye for him. Even it is hard to take time on moving on, I need to do that. I have no regrets of being part of his life. I love those memories with him. This memory is a special memory for me. It taught me how to be strong and learn to take time and give some space for others love. I made the right choice and if we’re really meant to be, destiny will make a way for us.

Now I’m a Grade 12 student that brings those experiences in the past and it leading my way from the future life. The best memories in this level are the Immersion and Culminating Activity. I can say that being in Immersion and Culminating Activity is not that easy. It is not easy because you face different task and challenges. But being Immersionist is super enjoy; I like what we do in our immersion site, the new faces of people that I met, the lessons that I learned and the experiences and leanings that I will always treasure in my mind an in my heart. Having a passion in your work is like a love from your family because you need to have an unconditional love and deep understanding on it. No matter what problems you facing this day and for the next day, remember always that HE is with you. HE never let you failed for everything that you do but you need to trust HIM always. One of the things you need to know is have a dedication in what you want because it is the key for all of us to achieve the success. It is the best choice for all the students that want to have a good quality of job and high salary. Then after the day, you will realize how happy and fulfilling you are. As for now, my duty is take full observation about how I am going to improve my teaching skills so I can apply them in the future. Later on, we will march in the stage and get our diploma from our adviser and school principal.
