I never really knew this school until the moment i came here to enroll. It was the third day of classes four years ago, and I'm so disappointed with myself. My disappointment has nothing to do with Ma. Clara, it's just that, being a late enrollee, I'm afraid to be admitted in a lower section. But aside from that, the weather wasn't fair and I'm still not feeling well--I had a flu back then.
Having those experiences as my "firsts" in high school life, I thought I'll have a hard time here. And though I got in as a part of Amorsolo, I'm still reluctant with my luck as a student. Yet I took every opportunity that came my way and gave it my best shot.
I tried making a Science Investigatory Project with my classmates. Our group, all freshmen, fortunately qualified for the Regional Science Fair. It was a sweet success and a painful failure because we stopped from where we got.
My next victory was when I won second place twice in English Reading Proficiency, first in the District the in the Division Level. That was when I set myself to be a high achiever. I got inspired by Ma'am Alere when she told me that she can see me as this school's future valedictorian. I appreciated Mommy A so much and I don't want to disappoint her.
On my second year I joined SSG. Being the 2nd Year Representative, I was labeled as "Ms. Calvelo, Jr." for being "kasing taray at kasing busy ni Ma'am Calvelo." It may sound funny but I really found it flattering.
So, everything is history. And I charged everything to experience, to which I learned from. But I still owe a lot from my Ma. Clara family, because if experience is the best teacher, they are the BESTEST!
There's Sir Fred Villanueva, my very first father in this unfamiliar territory. during my adjustment period, he's the only one who made me feel at home. Also my Ms. May, the most loveble Math teacher in the face of the planet. Then there came Ma'am Tan, who later became my Mommy Jhenny, the original and only leader of
those who believed in me all the way. Ofcourse she's with Tita Mau. Mr. Capati and Ms. Calvelo are the geniuses behind my interest in Music, Arts, health and most esp. in P.E.
As time went by, I continued to be more and more attached to this big family headed by Ms. Go. I met more mothes--happy-go-lucky Nanay Jo Rodrigo, very diligent Mama Dey (Mrs. Deyro), my dearest Tita Claire (de Juan), funny Ma'am Chat Reyes, and very special Inay d'R (Mrs. delos Reyes). I also got another father in Mr. Arthuro and fairy godmothers in Dyosa and Diwata.
To make it balanced, God gave me teachers that sent shiver to my spine. Among my not so terror teachers, Ms. Calvelo has always been the 'scariest.' there are times that her eye contact seemss to melt me. The former SSG adviser, Inang Reyna Mrs. Villanueva also scared me. Mrs.Calangian too, when I first encountered her. But if hey weren't that strict, they won't be able to train me well.
I explored the outside world, too. I did so with the greatest trainers on earth: Mrs. Gavilan, Mrs. Bulalayao, Ms. Pahati, Ma'am Tisay Renon and my personal mentor since first year--Ma'am Jhinger Ramos.
After all of these, I'm really not sure if I have somewhere else to belong to. I mean, can I stay in other libraries for one month like I did here for the Book Month 2007? Will I have any other reasons to wander around Luneta's Chinese Garden rather than to shoot Noli or El Fili? In what university can I feel at home in the AVR and Speech Lab while working for a life and death matter? And above anything else, what assurance can I get that I won't be late if there's no Ms. Arevalo or Ms. Calvelo there?
Well, I shall return. No, I'll always be here. As long as Tatay Fred would let me in.
