The Roller Coaster Life of Being a Junior High Student

          They say being a Junior at CNSHS is the hardest. You'll experience different kind of hardships from the past two years including preparing for your research proposal. No research proposal, means no diploma. Oh Life. But before all of this, I have so many expectations on this new beginning, it's like you're stepping into a new world. New teachers, new classmates, new buildings, new acquiantances, new environment and of course, new challenges we should face in order to succeed. Would we overcome these challenges and be one more step closer to our dreams? or fail and put all our hardships into waste.
          Laziness and distractions. these are the reasons why students like Me don't study and flunk their grades. What can we do? Surfing the net is just so fun. Still, We are already Junior students, we should be more responsible in all that we are doing. We should think twice, no, thrice about the decisions we are about to take. Us, students should now balance our studies and wants in order to overcome our apprehensions. I must say, if you really want to achieve your goal, you must work hard and strive for it. And by achieving your goals, it means studying very very hard. not only you would benefit from these adversities, of course your parents would be also proud of you on accomplishing your goals as a student. It is a parent's dream to see their child grow up and graduate.
          My expectations. First of all, I'm fond of riding roller coasters, the excitement you feel when you're riding one is an irreplaceable experience so, I expect my life being a Junior here to be a roller coaster ride on a road full of challenges and hardships. You must be wondering why I compared it with a roller coaster. They are the same in some ways because when the coaster goes up, it also has difficulties, earth obviously has gravity so it's having a hard time on going up and when it goes down, it's like the happiest experience of your life. Like us, we first face so much difficulties but in the end, when you already know the result of what you've worked hard for, you feel like you're the happiest person in the whole world, it may sound overrated but for me, it's true. About my other so-called expectations, I expected the Maliksi Building will be cool because, obviously, its at the center of our field, and I was wrong. It's so hot there you seriously need fans all over you in order to breathe, just kidding. About my Teachers, i thought at first that they would be really strict, and with the two weeks I've been with them, I find them fun, funny and enjoyable. To my new environment, I'm still getting used to it. last year we we're the fewest among the 5 sections, but now, we're 34. Still, I'm trying my best to socialize with them and realized that they're fun to be with.
          So now we're heading into a new world, even though I miss my best friends, life should still go on, I know they would support me anyway even if I'm with them or not. What I know is that they would be there for me always. I also miss my Teachers from my Sophomore life especially our loving adviser Ma'am Tenny, we will never forget how you cared about us. So now let's just enjoy what this year will bring us.
