My Senior High School Journey

BY: DELA PAZ, MARLON P.

Hi, my name is Marlon, and I am a senior at Cauayan City National High School. Let me tell you that being a student in today’s society is not always easy.

When I finished Junior High School (JHS), I felt that it also the start of my new life, my new journey. I know that in the first place the senior high school is not easy. Adults often tell us that we don’t know what stress is and to just  wait until we grow up. But we as teenage students have our own levels of stress. For instance, all school activities require you to uphold your grade point average to high standards, along with the expectations that you dedicated any extra time to it day and night.

Then getting your homework turned in on time seems simple, but you still hope to have a life outside of school as well. Many students in their high school years start their first job, so now you have school in mornings, followed by responsibilities needing to be taken care of  at home and you’re off to work.

My point is, it is a whole lot more stressful to be a student in senior high school than adults believe. Though it shouldn’t be this way, it only gets worse as years pass by. And we are constantly being judged,especially for what we believe in.

I want to remind everyone including myself, then in this moment, we are as old as we have ever been, and as young as we will be again. Live in the moment! If this was your last moment ,would you able to say you were living? I want to be able to say yes. So that’s whart i am trying to do. Learning as i go, wearing faith as my armor and knowing that in God’s plan we are all students and teachers, too.
