Friends

For me, my friends are my unforgettable memory I have in my high school life. You know why? It is because if not for them, I could not make memories and adventures which I could keep until the rest of my life. Friends, are like your brothers and sisters. No wonder if you are closer to your friends than to your brothers or sisters. In them, you can tell your darkest secrets, your moments with your crushes, and also in them, you can find assurance that they will help you and support you in your decisions you make. Sometimes, it is easy to tell your problems to your friends rather than to your parents. Friends also give you advices, but beware! You should also screen their advices if they will lead you to a right or a wrong path. You cannot feel that you are out-of-place if you are with your friends.

After leaving my elementary life and entering the new stage of what-is-called the high school life, I thought that I would be out-of-place, and I could not survive here in UP High because I had no friends before. I was scared before because I am not used of having new environment, dealing with strangers. But, I realized that these strangers were also feeling the same way too. Until we introduced ourselves and we became friends. We exchanged "hi's" and "hello's", that we did not even notice that we were already making unforgettable memories.

When I was in second year, I already had circles of friends. First, the JuNoSh. These were Juna, which is me of course, Novelyn and Shedyl. They were my best of friends until now. I was also a member of the clan, Royal Family, which I think has 30+ members. It was fun to have friends like them, because each of us have different characters and personalities. The group was headed by our very own, April Mae Gamboa, the mother-like classmate of ours. Because of these, they made my circle of friends wider. Sometimes, we had misunderstandings but we still gave way and learned to forgive. Here in this stage, I realized that they were my true friends because they were there not only in my happiest days but also in times of trouble. They were there to comfort me, and to protect me. I was also a member of the SJB(Samahan ng mga Junior Boys), wherein girls are the members and only allowed to be a member of this group. This group is really unique and fantastic! Here, we shared many funny experiences that made this group to be a treasured one.

In my senior life, I now know that my circle of friends become wider. I notice that many groups become together and form into a bigger group. I know I am one of them. Now I realized that I am not being secluded by them, but they are pulling me towards them, to let me feel that I am not alome, that I have many friends who loves me and cares for me. Because of them , I am now contented of what I have. Until now, we are still unconsciously making memories even in our last days in high schools.

This are the few words that I would promise to you all: I would not forget my friends, even if others are not my closest friends, I will still treasure them, because if not for them, I would not be the Juna Rose Dinglasa you have known for four years.

Batchmates, teachers, UPians, thank you so much for finding my lost pieces in life. Now, my puzzle in life would be easier to solve because I know, that you will be there behind me cheering me in my decisions I make. Thank you very much and I love you all! UP Rocks!
