looking back . . .

recently gotten in touch with people i shared life with for almost 12 years . . . my grade school and high school, school of the holy spirit, qc.

it was great, never realized it’s been 10 years since i graduated from high school and it was the first time i visited after i left the school as a crippled girl (hehe, pilay ako nun e!). 

it was great to see old faces . . . and i felt proud when they saw me . . . more mature than how i was as a school girl . . . with a slight improved confidence than before . . . it was comforting to hear them say they were proud of what i’ve become . . .

i’m just so happy to finally get in touch with them, especially my teachers . . . with all the things i’m battling right now . . . they seem to know where my thoughts are coming from . . . i once again felt like that adolescent girl who needed the guidance of guardians . . . people she can trust to lead the way for her . . . it just felt good and reassuring as they once again encouraged me that i’d be able to get there . . . to the place where i wanted to go . . . and i know they’d be there to support and motivate me to continue and just go on . . .

it’s just now that i’m totally appreciating the things they taught me . . . beyond the things i can learn from the textbooks . . . and i realized maybe it’s about time that i repay the school - for teaching and molding me to become who i am . . . and for still accepting me - no matter how broken i may be right now.

and yes, from now on i keep a pledge . . . i’d do my best to help the school - in any way i can . . .

i know i started the quest already - i accepted their offer to be a judge for the comm arts week . . . and i know that won’t be the last time because my other teachers have already told me their interest and intention to invite me in other projects in the future . . .

thanks SHS . . . i’ll forever be proud to be an SHSian . . .
