My Farewell Note

I did not feel like I have graduated my HS until I realized i’m leaving ILOILO CITY tomorrow morning…
Four
Years felt like 10 years for me. It seemed that i have lived in Iloilo
City almost half of my existence. I can still vividly remember the time
when i was packing my things and preparing myself to be an ALIEN in this city. sadness did not blanket me but curiosity did.
Four Years ago, my new shoes stepped on Colegio de San Jose, the place that i have to bear with for four years.
My
four years were never a regret. These made me an independent one,
confident, and learned. At first, I was a bit unsure of a life i’d have
here. I thought i have to pretend and hide myself just to stick with
the people here. But CSJ proved me wrong. It was the other way around.
I came out BETTER than i was before.
I
met people with different faces of reality, or shall I say, varieties
of masks. Dealing with them wasn’t a joke. But they made my heart
stronger and my mind wiser. They taught me how to place myself to where
I am supposed to be.
I really have to be thankful and grateful for the GOOD and even BAD occurences in my life. Also, I have to thank the following for shaping my living.
GOD:
Thank you so much for giving me this life that i have right now. I must
feel lucky for all the links that I have in hand. I am grateful for all
the joys and pains I have encountered. I know you were always there all
of the time. I love YOU!
CSJ:
Thank you for accepting me and making me a GREAT JOSEPHINIAN. I can’t
imagine what my life should have been if i did not stepped on you. I
salute you! I’ll miss your grounds and classrooms which have witnessed
my growth.
SEAS10/SSC10/ 10JOY:
I
LOVE YOU ALL! It will really take time for me to adjust of not seeing
you everyday. For four years, I have witnessed how your faces and
heights matured. I’m gonna miss our Paraliturgy, Prayers, Angelus, BEC,
pictorials, NOISE, and voices. I SO MISS YOU ALREADY! You have been my
family and you took a part of my heart. [ibalik niu! haha kidding]. maano na lang ko kung wala kamo?ahay.
no joke. i can’t see myself having new seatmates with faces of
strangers. I still want more years with you! THANK YOU so much for
taking the journey with me.
my advisers, Mrs Esmalla, Mr. Cabaraca, Ms. Legas, Ms. Fernandez:

As
I am about to end this long note, (in fairness, gintak.an ko sng
pasalamat sa tanan. whew!) i”ll leave everything with settlement and
memories. i might not spend time with all these people and places as
often as i used to, but i’ll always spend time on praying and
reminiscing all the good and bad times i had with them. So long,
GOODBYE. I Love You and I will surely MISS all of you! see you when i
see you!
