Excitement, nervousness, sadness and happiness. Almost halfway through my first year in senior high school but I can already feel the different emotions creeping in my system. I feel like I am in the very same school but it has a different environment, a different feeling. For the very first time in years, this place felt unfamiliar.
I was really excited when June 4, 2018 finally came. It was the first day of my senior year. I am very happy that I am already starting my journey as a senior. I felt the excitement rushing in as I enter my assigned room. I saw some familiar smiles but a lot of unfamiliar faces. But with a span of only one week, I became comfortable with the people whom I thought I would never be friends with. It was fun knowing them. But as days passed by, I can feel the nervousness already. Afraid that I may not be able to go to school on time and not skip my first class that will start as early as 6 am. Nervous that I may not be able to meet the standards that my parents have set or have grades not less than 90. I felt so much pressure compared on how I felt when I was on my junior years.
The burden I’m carrying could’ve been lighter if I am with my Archimedes family. It’s the first school year that we’re not together. It was hard actually, not being able to be with the people you consider family. If only we can be in the same school and same section all over again, everything would be much easier. But in this life, nothing is easy. We have to prove to everyone what our bond and relationship have taught us, it is to be strong, to lead the group and to share your knowledge to everyone. Separated but will always be one by heart. Archimedes, the home of the finest.
