Informal Theme #1 : Next Step

The moment I passed the enrollment form I filled up, thoughts entered my mind. Both negative and positive things were coming in. But there is one thing I am sure of, and it's that I'm not yet ready for this new school year. I am not ready for everything, new set of teachers and a new set of classmates, and of course for being a third year high school student. Will it be as easy as it is last school year? Will everyone ever be my friend? And will I be better than I was before? Too many questions filled my mind, questions with no answers yet.

As I entered the room where I'll be staying for like 10 months, mixed emotions were inside of me. I am joyful knowing I have to face another part of my life, and that's being a third year high school student. And also, I am going to have a new set of friends to deal with. Despite those things, I am frightened, thinking that these people around me aren't going to like who I really am. And to be honest, I expected the girls to have different worlds, and that happened during the first day. Well, of course, we don't really know each other that much even though we eat on same canteen, walk on same hallways, listen on same discussions, we still have differences in our own ways. I gave my first impressions for them but didn't tell anyone. I was silent the first day which is not me. I mean, of course, I have to adjust.

We didn't have discussions the first day, like what I expected. We just get to know each other together with the teachers. And I can see the willingness of those teachers to share with us the knowledge they'd acquired for a long time. They already showed us how much they want us to learn from them which is really obvious on the way they talk. Like us, they have they're own personalities and strategies on how they are going to teach us. They really gave importance on education inwhich teenagers can't see.

This year was different for me. My sister and I promised each other the we are going to be serious in this field. We told each other to do our best for our studies. Well, deep inside I know in myself that I've forgotten about that this past few years. I know how much I changed. As a part of this generation there were too many temptations, computer, cellphone, television, they were everywhere. And I can't help myself. But I know my priorities now, my studies.
