LIFE IN THIS UNIVERSITY

You’re a new student in University of the Philippines High School. To you, the world seems to be turning in a different and wrong direction. You don’t understand what’s happening in your new and different life. You can’t explain your feelings sometimes you feel very excited but sometimes very nervous. You’re no longer the timid and pampered girl whose identity was not so familiar. At first, you found it difficult to adapt your new environment. You probably are thinking of stepping back, run and never to return. But as you trudge along the path to success, you get the nice feeling from your first taste of independence.

In high school, their will be more lessons to study, less time to enjoy oneself more things to do and more problems to deal with. You have to budget your time because you’ll be very busy all-day long and being so busy can make you feel so depress. The word busy will not be anymore new to your vocabulary. If you experienced being busy a few years ago in your elementary years, you’ll be experiencing it more often, all the time, anywhere, everyday and you seem to be alone carrying the whole world plus its great population with your bare hands. Every dismissal time, you go home tired and restless. Probably you wish that tomorrow will be your summer vacation but it’s not. You’ve got to have sleepless nights just to finish all the paperwork and the mountains of assignment and before you go to bed, you first scan your notebook. Don’t ever come to school without preparing yourself.

Still on weekends, your tasks are not yet finish. You have a lot of projects to work on that to be passed on the next school day, many lessons to be studied and many things to be researched on. If you don’t try hard and let your laziness drag you downward, you will go no further. On the other hand, you can be patient and hardworking and because of this, you can make a great success.
With all the paperwork, mountains of assignment and projects, confusing lessons hard works and all of the other things to do, would you still make for the good and quality education you’re wishing? Well, even with all these odds, you have come came to that conclusion that this is life, the very life of a U.P High School student and you must accept it; you just don‘t know that someday, you’ll get merits from all your sacrifices.
