Reminisce

People say that you will never forget High School. It's the best experience and a huge part of your life. It's when you try to socialize, study, and have fun at the same time. It's when you first experience peer pressure and stress. It's when you get loved and hated for who you are, it's when you try to find real friends and search for your right path. 

My mom can still remember the first time she walked in Nueva Ecija High School, she was frightened of almost everything, she's nervous,she didn't have friends to start with. But as time went by, she started having friends and joining pageants and winning them. Although she was being active at school, she admitted that she didn't have time to concentrate on her studies; she spent all of her high school years modelling on stage and answering questions from judges, and it's when she realized that she should've done better in academics.

We learn from our mistakes and experience and from my mom's experience in high school, she learned to socialize, be independent, accepting herself, and having an ambition. They're important to her because a person needs to communicate with almost everyone and be flexible, not to always depend on everyone, loving yourself for who you are and having a goal and exploring. If she could travel back in time, she would focus on her studies and she would be more confident about herself; she said she should've studied better and should've loved herself more. She also said her Values teacher inspired her; she learned how to have a good attitude and right conducts. She learned from her Values teacher the most because she was an influential teacher and taught her manners.

What she would advice to us students is that we should study hard and listen to our parents. She said we would be successful if we focus on our studies and be MORE successful if we follow our parents' words. We should also listen to our teachers, read our textbooks and take test more seriously.
