HOW I WANT TO BE REMEMBERRED BEFORE LEAVING HIGH SCHOOL

One of my favorite quote s, which, by the way always makes me ask, is, “ On their deathbed nobody has ever wished they had spent more time at the office.” That quote often leads me to ask myself, “What do they wish they had spent more time doing?” Probably they want to spent more time with the people they love. On the day of my graduation, I don't want to be charged guilty by that quote. I don't want to reach to a point where in all I can say is that “I wish I could have done that one”. My high school life is a period of experimenting. I have tried to be a serious student, though it did not last for a quarter. I have also tried to be a mean friend to others, but I swear it's of no use. But my most unforgettable part was in every time that I fail in Mathematics. A part of my sorrow for failing in such subject is the gratitude for letting me experience a failure. It helps to be a failer sometimes because it reminds you that life is not always a success, and that is the reality. Of course I don't want to remembered in that way. I want to leave no butt prints into my school, I want to leave a footprint , a re minder that I have once stepped into that school and that I a m a part of the U.P. High school family.
What could be a great memory I can leave to U.P.? The Ella in the stage, an emcee, an actress or a dancer? Or the Ella and her fears, singing, earthworms and darkness? I think those memories are not for a lifetime. Maybe I can be remembered in that way, but surely it will just be in a moment. So what could really it be? Let's see... I'll think of my best trait. Oh, yes! Got it! I wanna be remembered in two ways.

First I wanna be remembered as a friendly Ella. I wanna be remembered as the person who will suddenly say nice things to you when your day turns upside down or when you feel totally depresses. I want to be remembered in that way so that my memory will be a comfort in somebody's mind. It's good to have a memory in that way so that I can also remind people that sometimes the smallest thongs -a hello, a kind note, a smile, a compliment, a hug- can make such a big difference. For if somebody w ants to build friendships, one should always, try doing the little things because in relationships the little things are the big things. Having many friends in school is not for popularity sake. Friendship is priceless yet a precious thing. When you find a true friend you will have that friend forever. True friendship is forever. I want to be remembered as a true friend because I want to be remembered forever.

Next, is that I want to a living proof of my own quote,” A thousand stare of a cover is just a glance at the skin under”. In high school, you will meet all kinds of people and yo vcannot stop them from judging you. From the time you step your first step in U.P., you must first open yourself to criticisms, for they w ill complete your day. Just like me, my first day at my school was of no good, people were all saying that “oh, could she be my meanest classmate?' or those “ S he;s so liberated” and “ she looks strict” but those criticisms did not bring me down neither did I live in their beliefs about me. I honestly look liberated because of the way that I dress but underneath those clothe is a Filipina culture of decency. I could really look mean and strict but deep inside of me is a patient heart that listens. I want to leave to my school that quote and my own definition to that. For high school is a very exciting roller coaster ride. I hope that the future students of my school will also live to the words that I have lived for. It is a guarantee that, that quote is a key in building friendship. Why? Simply because instead of taking time to look at that person a and judge him or her, you will take no time in waste and get to know that person.
That is how I wanted to be remembered before I leave the most colorful part of my life, my high school life. Together with my batch mates, we will soon grow up into mature beings but UP will definitely always be a part of our lives. UP ha left the biggest footprint in our hearts.
