REFLECTION: Farewell, my friends
It felt like yesterday when it was the year 2016 when I took the bait and fell for a trap. It feels like yesterday was the scenario of 4 years ago, the time when I have to adjust to a new environment that was forcefully shoved in my plate. Looking back, I will never regret that I have exited a home with the same old grounds, walls, and routines I had been doing for 8 years because if I havenβt took that big leap, I wouldnβt have been the person I am today, I would have been safe-kept in a box and would have been clueless of what happens on its outside. For this, I will always be thankful for my parents and relatives who went to challenge the unbelievable and convinced me to be a part of ISNHS.
Everything went uphill when I entered this school, I have gained friends that Iβll definitely keep βtil whenever despite being completely strangers at first, brought me places farther than I have imagined, learned the reality of how harsh life is but also learned how to ride and tame it, reached another peak of stress and learned how to battle it, learned the worth of time and the importance of making it useful, and most importantly, I have learned to know who I really am and what I really want.
It was a rough road battling with everything that have went wrong. I have had my fair share of problems that I dealt with in any form that you can ever imagine. It was inevitable to encounter troubles, though, tough times need a tougher you. Troubles happen to leave you a lesson, a lesson that it hopes you wouldnβt forget. The hardest part of this year was knowing it is my last year of being an SMC student. Sentimental, yes, but you can never deny the comfort that your friends yielded through the years. You made a different type of connection that hurts so good, that it hurts to think what if one day youβd end up like how 4 years ago started β complete strangers.
What the future bring is really uncertain, I do not have a clue how will I ever deal of letting go of a piece of who I have been. However, I know that we may take different paths I know someday it will lead us back to where it all started. I am thankful for my friends, ex-friends, and teachers, because of you all, I am armored to battle whatever storm might be on the way with everything that I have learned from all of you, again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!
