In a few months... I will be graduating. And it SUCKS.
It’s safe to say that my high school experience is the most intense, memorable, and frustrating 4 years of my life. But it’s the rarest, and most beautiful of its kind, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I owe a lot to this school. I am who I am because of this school. Every experience, every laugh, ups and downs, every tear, every accomplishment, EVERYTHING. I am happy of what I have become. Happy of what I’ve accomplished. Happy of the people I have met and spent time with.
Behind the smile I’m putting on right now, in spite of how happy and grateful I am for this school. I feel hella sad. Sad because of the memories I am leaving behind as I open a new chapter in my life. My life after graduating.
Whether I like it or not, I WILL GRADUATE. AND IT SUCKS. A few months back, I honestly wanted high school to be over with. But now… I don’t want it to end. I shouldn’t have thought ahead of what graduation would feel like. Because I resorted to forgetting to live the moment and instead lived the future too soon.
But the one thing I will never forget is my experience as a Lipa Science Scholar. I learned a lot here not just by lessons taught in each subject, but also by example, posed by the faculty and my fellow schoolmates, and the experience I will take with me through college and life in general.
As much as it sucks, I mean, it really does. I feel chest pains just thinking about it.
I am graduating. But I will take every lesson, every memory, and every experience, and hold onto them forever. I will never let go.
Once a scholar, always a SCHOLAR.
