Different Kind of Experience

Hi! I am a student of the University of the Philippines. And I’m very proud of my school. In short, I’m proud to be a Upian. I know that I’m in a good school, because my school is very famous. When I was still in elementary, I already want to study in UP. Maybe because it’s just near to my school. They say that UP is a very strict school. And the lessons are very hard. But I still give in.

ast March 11, 2005, was the entrance exam at UP High. I don’t know if I’m ready at that time. I was scheduled during the afternoon test. When I arrived at UP, I was from the retreat at that time. I really lack sleep the night before the test because it was our retreat. We went to Eco-Tech and there have bonding together. I really enjoyed at that time. In the morning, while we were having a lecture we were really sleepy. We were given an early lunch so we can prepare for the test at UP. I was already nervous because I’m going to take the test. But before I leaf the lecture room, I suddenly opened my Bible to a certain verse and there God told me that “If you ask for something, you must believe that you can have it.” I was really shocked at that time because I didn’t expect that God would tell that verse. My nervousness lessened. After lunch we went to UP High School. Thanks to God that He guided me during the test. I was able to concentrate in the test and I was able to finish it all. After the test, I went home and when I arrived home, I immediately went to bed.

And now here comes March 20, 2005! I was very nervous because we are going to find out the result of the test. When I arrived in UP, I was very shock to find out that I passed the test! My teachers are very happy for me! Maybe they are happier than me. Especially teacher Gracel. She really hugged me when she found out that I passed the test. That was a very happy day for me. Because I know that it’s really God’s plan for me to study in UP.

And now, I’m already in UP and I never realized how happy it is to be in UP. It’s very enjoyable in UP. Despite the hectic schedules, hard lessons, and many more, it’s still enjoyable. I really can’t believe that I entered here in UP. It was a very unforgettable experience to take the test in UP.

Right now, I’m just enjoying my life of being a Upian! Even though that there are very scary situations in UP. Especially the card day and the periodical test. But anyway, I’m still enjoying lots of activities here in UP.

For me the best High School for me is UP. Because it is where I found freedom and more enjoyment. And now I’m here in UP enjoying everyday with the school that I’m very proud of.
