HOW I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AFTER I LEAVE HIGH SCHOOL

Soon, I am going to graduate. Hopefully, I will be going to college. I will be leaving the school I have come to love so dearly for the past 4 years. It has been a long and winding journey and I am glad that I made it through with my classmates and friends. I do not know whether I should be happy or sad.

At one time at school, I remember when me and some of my classmates gathered and reminisced the years we spent together. How we smiled while thinking of the good times we had. Sometimes, I wish it never has to come to an end.

When I leave, I want to be remembered as someone who is silent but outstanding. I want to be remembered that way because that is what I was always and will always be. I remember a time when we were at the second year level, each one of us were told to write something to each and everyone and most of what was written on the sheets of paper I received was that I was a silent type of person ,but very talented and outstanding. I felt happy with that because they appreciated the me, the Daphne they know and made friends with.

I am a silent and shy type of a person. I do not always hang out and socialize with other people but with the people who really know me and am closely tied up with, I usually hang out to the cinema and to malls. My classmates say that I am a very studious and serious person, but the truth is I am not. Maybe they said I was serious because of my great concentration in studying in class. I am not studious, I only study when there is a need to which I think is a bad habit but I hope I could somehow change it. I fall silent when there is no need for me to talk but after a while I find someone to talk with because staying silent won’t get you anywhere.

I am not boosting with self- confidence but when I am asked to sing, act or dance, that I would gladly do so because I am confident with myself, that I could do anything as long as I believe that I can do it.

I also want to be remembered as an optimist. Thinking positively through my years of stay here in UP greatly helped me and that I will continue to do so.
Next month, I will be leaving. I hope I made a difference and a contribution to the school I have shared my high school life with. Thank you UP High for being a part of my life and I hope that you would and forever remember me because for once I was a UP High School student.##

How Soon Is Forever?

“I’ll be here for you forever…..”

Forever…Sigh. I wonder just how soon forever is. Just how long does forever take? Does it last more than a day, a week, a decade, a millennium or even a lifetime? Some say forever never ends….

In a relationship, promises made of staying together forever are mostly made but why after a matter of years someone gives up and says goodbye? I thought forever was forever but why did it end? Promises are meant to be broken some would say, but I don’t believe such. Yes, I know for the fact that promises are easily broken but as much as possible if you won’t allow it to happen, and keep true to your word the day you promised forever.

When two people promise to each other they would stay forever, this promise should be taken into heart. Forever is not a simple word one should just use recklessly, forever is forever. Could someone love another someone forever? Forever would last until after the day someone dies, could they still love each other though they are dead? I believe the answer is yes. Physically, you can’t and won’t see each other anymore but the feeling stays and lasts. So even though a special someone dies, you don’t bury your love with the dead, you keep it alive just as you keep yourself alive everyday.

The day you meet the person you want to share your life with and get married and vow to love each other ceaselessly for better or worse, you would not do something that would cause your separation. The moment you get married there is no turning back and one day say you have had enough. It is not as simple as that, its not that easy……

Even though I am still and just a high school student, I know the essence of love and promises of forever. Yes, I have not experienced love and being promised of forever for I am still young and do not intend to engage in a serious relationship. I know one commits mistakes and one day finds out that the one on is currently committed to is not who one really loves, for there are times one needs a time off from the relationship. If the two of you are really intended for each other, in the end you are always meant to be.

For a high school student to engage in a teenage relationship should not be done for one’s mind and heart is still in the process of maturing and besides, is still young to do so. But, there are exceptions, if what one feels can’t be kiboshed, one may engage in a relationship as long as one’s parents know of it, as much as possible one’s relationship should not be kept secret.

As I continue to write on, now then have I known the true length and duration of forever. And now I conclude, forever is eternal if you intend it to be.##
