i love this year's summer vacation. :) i don't want it to end. i have met a lot of people and will probably meet more people once I start my review classes. i love love love it. :)
i don't want this summer break to end because i am not looking forward to senior year. it's just not exciting for me. it's actually saddening. why? well, two of the best teachers i have ever had are no longer there. T. Tina, the best history teacher in the whole world [no exaggeration], is leaving for Qatar and T. Kristin, a person who has taught us all to appreciate and love literature, is leaving too because she just feels it's time for her to move on. thank God T. Irene is staying. i like her. she's a good math teacher you just really need to listen to her. even if you don't take down notes you would be fine [although it is best to write the stuff she discusses down]. a lot of people are annoyed by her and they even think that she is an incompetent teacher but i beg to disagree. i have learned a lot from her and the lessons are easier to understand because of the way she presents them. but i can't get pissed at the people who don't like her because we are all different. we have different ways of comprehending things. oh...wait, another teacher is leaving...T. Tim. mai gawd. why? i don't know. i love T. Tim. he is such an awesome computer teacher. i get his discussions easily and he isn't boring. because of him i have learned to appreciate the power of computers [wow, how nerdy does that sound?]. oh, and T. Joy L. is left too. she's the best department head. she knows how to discipline us and she knows how let us have fun. she's amazing. lastly, i will no longer be with my class...romulo. it's just so depressing. i learned to love romulo. we just have an awesome time with each other. it was really the best class i have ever had. we completed each other. romulo was my support group. they were always there. this year we will be separated and i don't know how things are going to turn out.
i will really miss T. Tina. the impact she has made in my life is difficult to put into words but i will try to do so. the first time i encountered her was freshman year. i thought of her as the prudish little fun sucker that would make my high school years unbearable. but once i stepped onto my sophomore year my view of her changed. [probably because i changed] i suddenly had this high respect for her. i looked forward to attending her AP classes and i took down everything she said. there were a few times that she got pissed and she would do a long sermon but never did i have any negative feelings about her outbreaks of anger. somehow, i understood her and i paid attention to every single thing she said. junior was the best. she was our adviser and she advised us well. she made run for student council secretary and at first i didn't want to but in the end i loved her for giving me the push that i needed. our class tried real hard to not be a disappointment but we are teenagers and there were a few times that we pissed her off. she got mad, she talked...a lot, we listened and we understood. we loved her for talking to us in that way. she treated us in the way that we were supposed to be treated. i thank her for a million things but there are a few things that really stand out. she taught me [well, us] to love our country and to be proud that we are Filipinos. because of her i have strong opinions about nationalism and i deem those who are not proud of their motherland as stupid. she indirectly made me mature. she didn't tell me face-to-face that i had to grow up but i just felt like i needed to mature because of her. i wanted her to see the best of me at all times and i have no idea why but i guess that's a good this because i changed for the better. never will i forget her. she will always be one of the special people. now, she will go to another territory and i know that there will be other kids that will be moved by her. thank you t. tina.
last summer i predicted that my junior year would be terrible but it turned out to be one of the best years ever. this summer i am predicting a terrible year. i do hope that i will once again be proven wrong.
