HOw I Want To BE rEMembERed aFTEr I LEave HIgh ScHOol

I am Shydel Raya of the University of the Philippines Visayas Cebu College. I am currently in my 4th year high school. I am about to graduate this coming April 18, 2007. At this time we, the 4th years, are already busy practicing for "the day". We had already come up with our graduation song and our schedule for practices. Singing our graduation song is really difficult for me because the people in our batch are really close to each other. And it is also hard for us to think that we will soon be parting our ways to open a new chapter in our life where we will be meeting again new faces and new personalities, just the same as what we experience when we entered High School.


Our batch is really the "bulabog" type. It is a mixture of different and complex personalities. For me, our batch is the most "happy-go-lucky". The deadliners and the crammers belong to our batch. But I think these are the reasons why our batch is the most loved and closest to the teachers. I am really happy and blessed that I belong in this "bulabog" batch. It was not hard for me to cope with them when I entered high school because I am exactly like them. I am noisy, happy-go-lucky, a deadliner, and a crammer.


Don't you know that I am the noisiest person in our batch. An ordinary person and student with the loudest voice. The girl with the ticklish laugh. Some of my classmates says that my laugh made them laugh too even without any reasons. They just get caught away with my laugh.


I know that my classmates get irritated of my loud voice sometimes and I am so sorry, I just cannot help talking with a soft voice. What can I do this is me, the Shydel they have known for a long period of time. Maybe some of my classmates were already used in hearing my loud voice that is why they do not feel irritated the moment they would hear my loud voice.


According to my classmates, I am frank and the "maldita" type. I am the kind of person who would really fight on what I believe in. I think they were right. But despite all these, I gained many friends, friends who are always their for me, friends who understands me, friends which I will really treasure even the days after our graduation day, friends that I will never forget. I hope that my batchmates, classmates, and friends will never forget me too. I want them to remember a noisy, frank, strong, "maldita", happy, and friendly Shydel because I promise them that I will never ever change. I would still be the same "Shydel" they have known for four years in UP High.
