A few years back, they prepared us for a total change. A change that would require us to adjust. A change that will totally give us a new beginning. They told us that we were the first graduates of the K-12 program and that started it all. It was a change that many people even our parents do not understand but we as students must accept. They all said that they already prepared us for this but how can our young minds be ever ready for this.
Having all these pressures on our back, we were having a hard time adjusting to this change we are all going through as a batch. At first, we all felt that it was impossible for us to balance our academics and our extra curricular activities. Since, our dismissal time will be later than other batches. This change also accelerated all our subjects that for a grade 10 student it was hard for us to cope with it or even maybe to understand. Our batch was known to be the "experimented batch" of our school. We were given this title because ever since we started high school we had unforgettable moments that when we think about it now, it's hard to believe that we really survived all those years. Like, we were the first batch to be in Grade 8, studied 3 math/s during grade 10, we had already 2 graduations and after this year it will be our third, we were also the first batch to have Ed tech classes for observations if it will be better for a student to use or not, then they made us study Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo in one year. Our batch was also rushed to think of the course we want to take in college and for us to study in Grade 11 & 12. This is a decision that will or might change our lives. How do we really decide what we want to be in the future? When do we really decide what we want to be when we grow up? Is it now or later? And for this year, we are the first batch to be in and to graduate in the Senior High School Department. Probably, other students might be thinking that its hard to be in our position because the real question is how do we balance our time in studying and having extracurricular activities or how do we finish all our homework/s if we go home so late. For me, this "change" is the new beginning for our batch because as we are in Senior High School right now, we prepare ourselves for the reality to come. They prepare us for what we are going to go through when we are in college. This will be a big step for us when we only started taking baby steps.
This sudden change that our batch has gone through made us re-prioritized everything in our life, now we should value our time properly and also make good decisions that we would not regret in the future. Yes, we will make mistakes along the way but because of all these changes we are now more than ready to face all these challenges that will come our way. Now, this change that we are experiencing gave us the chance to awaken ourselves in facing what really is there for us. In the past 2 years i have a quote that i have been living "Take all the opportunity given to you without fear in it". This led me to face this new beginning of my school chapter as a Grade 11 student with my head held up high. I have learned to believe in myself more. I have learned that before we say we can not do it we should try first and in the end we will see that we have done it with flying colors. It may be hard but we were brave enough to try it and succeed in the end. People should not underestimate our young minds because our hearts are big enough to accept all these changes that will come our way. Now I guess I have another quote to guide me in life..."Change is good".
