Another school year is going to end, almost 10 months of bonding and making memories together with Humss 1 family. But I guess this is just the beginning of a long and zigzag path to the future. 

Since the day I stepped on the floors of Baliuag University Annex 3, I never thought that it would going to be the way I expected it. It was nice to see my classmates' faces smiling at each other and having a great talk with their vacations. I am sitting at the front since I am late and chairs at the back are occupied. Blah Blah Blah. Senior High School is really different from my high school life, it literally awakens me saying "Hey Dharell! Wake up, another day has come!" I wasn’t prepared for the senior high but I am sure that Humss is the strand I need. Teachers has also changed, it’s like they are professors to me and the schedule of my class reminds me of a college students' schedule. 

New set of classmates, new set of friends. Another faces that I am not familiar with, another friends that I don’t know if it will work. "Don’t conclude right away" that’s what I can say, it was hard for me to cope up with my classmates in the start of the school year and I thought that it'll be till the end. But I was wrong, as time passed by and more bonding have been made, I was able to see and know who they really are. I didn’t expect that we have similarities with each other, like: we want no quiz, we critique teachers, we have the same favorite and most hated teacher.

My journey as a grade 11 student was quite hard but with my Humss One family, I didn’t experienced being down and stressed too much because they give me joy and contentment that I haven’t experience yet in my life. There is the funny one who makes the classroom noisy and the quiet ones who will makes you feel conscience. Classroom is often balanced and sometimes, it’s quiet so you as a noisy person will just shut your mouth and study. 

I can’t see any hints of disappointment and regret in decisions I made choosing Humss as my strand because it really exceeded my expectations and I feel like "Oh, you made a great choice!" And up until to this moment, I won’t blame myself for the choice I have made.

 I would like to thank all the people who helped me to reach who I am today and those who play a role to my life that make me more matured and make me realize to love myself first. I won’t drop your names but it is up to you and you know who you are being described. I just want to say thank you to all the teachers who helped me also to widen my knowledge and information. To Mrs. Liwanag, our loving adviser, we love you. And to my subject teachers, Mr. Martinez, thank you for making my g11 memorable with your lessons in Literature and Media Info. literacy, dont be sad if I will not remember all those things you taught us but I will make sure that I will apply it in real life.
