AT FOURTEEN (Blog 1.1)

New faces, new lessons, new environment;

After six years of burning my eyebrows,

Another chapter of my life has just begun,

Here I am trying to find my place in this new-fangled world

Back when I was a 12-year old girl,

I entered this school with a raw mind and nervy feeling.

I was upset to myself and keep asking,

“Am I really fit in here? Is this really what I want?”

It was my freshmen year when I met new circle of friends,

When I saw something different and surreal in here,

When I experienced hard knocks,

Yet, I survived, still alive and kicking at fourteen.

Getting along to my new experiences,

I stepped up and faced the challenge of being a sophomore.

8^th Grade realized me that by using our hearts, things would be much easier

Because in here, more life lessons were taught

My sophomore life became more fruitful than 7^th Grade;

Friends stay stronger and real, teachers became closer to us,

Foremost of all, we had fun

And so I survived, still alive and learning at fourteen.

For the past 2 years as a CavScian,
It wasn’t that easy for me and it became a big suffer

But through those help me to know who really I am, what my role in life is,

They thought me how to become a student with a heart and mind

It’s like a blink of an eye; I am now a 9^th Grade student

I can’t believe it, I am now half way out the door

This is one of the hardest stages where bewilderment starts,

Where higher expectations are looking for us

I survived 2 years,

And counting for more with flying colours

I am so grateful that I am still here,

Still alive and gaining knowledge at fourteen

As a 9th Grade Student Within the First Week

The very first thing that came out in my mind when I was about to step inside the school on the very first day was really, "Oh no. This is the hardest part of the High School life. I saw some juniors before posting about their junior life that really made me scared." Yes, they really scared me a lot because in my 8^th Grade, we just had fun. We were like,"Okay, let's do this. This is the way it goes. Let's just all have fun and enjoy the school hours." But... after months of vacation, I think almost everything has changed.

One Monday morning, when I opened my eyes from a dream turning out into a reality, I found out that I need to go to school, again. Well, as a student, it was really hard for me to accept the fact that VACATION IS FINALLY OVER. But it was fine with me because I can finally see my classmates and learn new lessons not just literally about subjects but about life. 

So I entered the school or specifically, to our classroom with a smile and as expected I saw my classmates. Four of them were new to us. It was really odd to me that I am now inside of different building. Even our classroom, it seemed different to me unlike in our 8th Grade classroom, every time I would enter in it I can feel the enjoyment, fun and crazy stuff. Maybe it just means that, I am now getting to a higher path of life where we can see new atmosphere, new classmates and new image. 

Basing my thoughts to the posts I saw, I don't think it would be that hard since our teachers look so nice, kind and inspirational (Ma'am Maye's story inspired me hihi) to us, and if each and every one of us would help ourselves and others for this school year. We should be hard-working and persevere. Well maybe sometimes the lesson itself is the hard part. Just like me, even though I like the teacher, I really can't like the subject because lessons' are difficult. 

After my first week experience as a 9th Grade student, I can say that it was good, fun and different. At first, I was really scared but now, I don't think there is nothing should be scared of... Uhmm well maybe there is? Just kidding. :)

I hope that my classmates and I will make more memories together and learn a lot of lessons.
