My Elementary and High school lives were among the most memorable, super duper, trying hard, competitive, successful, and what ever you call describing a totally great experience i ever had so far.
Actually it started in my kindergarten years when competitiveness and being smart and talented initially popped out to be my best lines. I was able to make a recital of a graduation speech after achieving a 2nd honors award, i did a tinikling, kuracha, itik- itik and a pearly shell dance. All the memories are still vividly beautiful, cute and worth reminiscing. I could still remember being a leader in an exercise dance every morning and heading the Lupang Hinirang Song before getting started for everything in the class. I guess this is worth feting for...yohoooo!...what an amazing kid i was way back 16 yrs ago!
As i got into elementary, Everything seemed to be just the same. Same old competitive, talented, smart and obedient pupil remained to be proving her charisma on teachers and other pupils.
I had often been nominated in every class officer elections and my favorite position... if not vice president,,, well a secretary for a nice penmanship...I had always felt the fulfillment and happiness for every achievement i had gotten. And the more i crave for some more. So, its no longer a new thing for me if i try things without hesitations..in short had been starting to become a trying hard copy cat..
I remained to be a topnotcher pupil,,,if not in the 2nd spot..its a consolation to have the 3rd place. Thus i ens up to be the First honorable mention during the graduation. And it was a success! I played lots of sports during our school meets....district, division and regional levels where among the places i had come to conquer with playing pingpong or table tennis.. equally doing well with engaging in volleyball, badminton and cheering squad. Declamation, dancing, balagtasan, poem recital, comical skit, and even directing short plays become my likes and It was a great fun recalling the things i just hardly tried to do perfectly to achieve success.
When i get in high school..still i live in the competitive world where i had to be joining almost all the clubs and sports to prove that there's still the power in me to succeed. Though at times i lose the fight but its just great to feel the determination and urge to win. Still i became a declaimer, a dancer, a pageant contestant who just won the 3rd place yet fulfilling in the heart,a lawn tennis and table tennis player and the brave girl who run against the valedictorian both competing for the presidential position in the student's body org. just finding at the end that its not worth my fight yet remained to be sports and accepting with the outcome.
These and more about competition and achieving something you like to have just teaches me the lessons of having great determination, finding good motivation and deeply praying to succeed...and if does not result to what is desired, then the readiness to accept for the failure and a positive mentality that there's still more chances out there. Patience is truly a virtue...we should hold on to it.
