A World of its Own

Being a teenager is both wonderful and challenging. This is the stage in every persons life where changes are always the challenge. I don’t know if it’s really because of the hormones in our body that changes or is it just really because we are growing up. I really don’t know but one things for sure it’s always fun to be a teenager. In this time of my life, I feel that I’m really a youth. This stage defines the statement….”I’m not a girl not yet a woman.” It’s the time in our life where we conquer not only mountains but ourselves. If there’s one thing about being a teenager that I will never forget, it would be my high school life.

They say high school is tough. It think it’s fun. It’s where we make life long friends. And

meet our first loves (well maybe for some). High school is a little world of it’s own.

It has its own people who laughs for same thing and cries for one thing. My high

school life at my school is definitely a special part of my life. I’m from a school

where school life is not ordinary. Being a senior student at my school makes me feel

so proud because I know that it is really a big achievement. I know that many

students wished to be a part of our world, and that is why I’m not loosing

this opportunity. Being an “iskolar ng bayan” an d a teenager is not easy. You must

really have to understand the word prioritization. And I think all of my classmates

and schoolmates would agree to this. As much as we wanted to go malling

every weekends, we just can’t. I could just have thought of the thousand times

I have wished to have a night life with my cousins, but still I can’t. You know why?

Well it’s because I’m haunted by my guilt that I still have a test tomorrow or I still

have a research deadline tomorrow. If I were not just patient, then I could said this

many times……schooling sucks!. But I can do nothing more than that because my

dream of becoming successful someday lets me forget how tiring and boring schooling

is. The only thing that excites me about going to school are my friends and of course

my long list of crushes (oh c’mon I’m not a hypocrite). My friends at my school

are great. We are maybe different from each other, learning differently, having

different styles, traits and religion; we’re all a minority of one. And now that we’re

soon graduating and will soon be leaving the world that we have established, I

feel a little pain in my heart. High school at my school is definitely not an

ordinary world of it’s own. This world defines friendship, love and most of all

success.

They say high school is tough .I think it’s fun for it has a little world of it’s own.
