The Unimagined Life

Ma. Aika S. Doronela

Its like yesterday, when I just graduated from elementary. Questions automatically rush down my
mind. Would I meet new friends during high school? What school should I study at? Will my high school
life be a way better or worse than my elementary days? I do not know. No one knows what my life will be
during high school. I do not know what my life will be as I enter a new chapter of my life.
From the start, I had the hint that I would be studying at Sorsogon National High School for my
high school since all my sisters studied there, but I wasnt so sure. There still a possibility that my future
would be different from theirs. I never knew. But still, the SNHS entrance examination was the only
examination I took back then. I never regret that.
I remember all too well the time when I became very anxious, bothered and nervous about
passing the DOST Section at SNHS. The idea of all the students competing for the top section made me
even more tensed. I cried a lot when I imagine that I could not pass the examination when in fact my big
sister made it. I was really troubled about the results of the actions I took that would change my life
forever. And then, the happiest moment of my life showed itself. I became the part of the top 200 students
who made it and I belong to the section of I-Andromeda. I could not contain myself but to rejoice that
time. It may be too shallow reason but my happiness could not be measured that time.
Remembering my first year here at Sorsogon National High School really makes my heart flatter.
I never thought of having a good first year. I just cleared myself to remain in the DOST section until
senior high school. Freshman high school was undeniably the year when I met my clingy best friends
whom I am currently attached with. Belonging to a DOST section was really hard. My experiences
proved this thing to me and I discovered that it was really the nature of being a DOST student. We had 11
subjects when in fact the normal freshman student must only study 8 subjects. I also met my terror
teachers that I wished I had not that time. I overcame all the hardships I was facing because of the very
big help of my friends and family. I never expect to end the school with me having an honor. I never
expected this year to be a good start.
Moving on to the second year was another story. I had experienced heartbreak for the very first
time since I entered high school. The heartbreak of saying goodbye to your friend because shell be
moving to another section was really painful. Well, when someone leaves, it's because someone else is
about to arrive. I am still their friend no matter what. I had met new friends again. They were from

different sections, and I already know them since I always stay at the room of II-Antlia when I was
freshman. My Sophomore Life was quiet amusing than the freshman life. I faced challenges and problem
far bigger that the ones I conquered when I was 13. I had my friends who influenced me in my addition to
KPOP and reading books.
Junior Life. It was the best part of my high school life, I think. I had by this time my wildest and
most unforgettable experiences. We had our most difficult projects by that time. We almost hate our
teacher to death for giving them but now, I am really thankful. We get to experience shooting, making
trailer, making websites, making music videos, making researches and such. These projects are absolutely
hard for the juniors but they we really enjoyed making them even though these mean that we would have
lack of sleep. The effect of the projects was really obvious. We became very close to each other. Our
section threw a party during the day of closing ceremony and I was too glad that we ended our junior life
right.
Another school year came. It is really painful to think that this is already our last year here at
Sorsogon National High School. We are already seniors. Our closeness to each other is really obvious.
Our section becomes really strong. I remember all the terrifying fights and misunderstandings. But these
helped us to show who we really are and accept our true identities. We become really affectionate to each
other as what others would not imagine us to be. We are certainly very supportive to each other. Through
our good times and bad times, my classmates, my friends had been together. I am glad I have a happy
senior life.
It is like tomorrow we will end this chapter of our life: our high school life. I am too grateful for
all the experiences that made me the person I am right now. I never imagined having a life like this,
having a far more than happy and memorable high school life. I never expected to have inseparable
friends that I would treasure forever and memories that I will always remember. If I were given a chance
in the past or in the future to pick my friends and choose the experiences Ill desire to happen, Ill never
get tired of choosing my friends and my experiences I have today over and over again. Even though I still
dont feel what it is like to be a college student, I think that high school life is really the best moment of
my life. My High school life is too good to be true.
