High School Memory Lane

My high school year was fun, indeed……. Hmmm, maybe some find it not enjoyable at all but I believe, it is worth remembering…why? I believe most of my best years fall during my high school life. Well, I was a good student then (hehe… an honor student). And I think I did well in both academics and extra curricular activities….lol ! It was during my high school when I had my first school paper article, had my first gold medal, and my first graduation speech and of course my first honor (wink)
I remember being a mayor in the class during our fourth year and had given a task….that is to make and have a Christmas tree and our adviser want to have it when he arrives…hehe (our adviser was out for a week and before he left, he scolded the whole class). Of course we surprised him and we were able to make a very nice Christmas tree (even got first price…hehe)
(This is my friend Rhona, had her pix with our Christmas tree!)
I also held various positions in several school organizations and I also joined journalism and was sent to represent our school in district and regional competitions. I also joined quiz bee (Science, Math, etc.). I was always out of school (not that I cut classes of course) then because there were too many activities I attended. There was the district conference, regional conference, Leadership trainings…..
But, I also do believe that high school is not much pleasurable if it's just about purely academics and the so called extra curricular activities. It was really cool because there were the crushes, the gimiks, fellowship day, Christmas day celebration, foundation day, sports activities, and of course the gossips hehe (which we usually done at the famous “SM- or the Silong ng Mangga” --).
And as far as I remember, It was on my high school days when I had my first crush, my first love letter, my first boyfriend, my first date, my first sleepover, my first dance (“the president and the first lady as such”….lol), my first duet, and my first kiss as well …lol..How could I ever forget, the fashion statement that our teachers wanted us to have...and surprise to the style we've got....And oohh, It was also when I had my first aggravation, my first resentment, my first big fight hahaha (how could I forget!!!)
I believe I never had a dull moment during my high school. I had great friends (and ….are still my friends this time) then, and had our great memories to share.
Though most of my HS classmates now are abroad and some are at nearby towns, and everyone are on their busy days mode, still, thanks to FB, exchanging notes and going down the memory lane are still easy for us…
And we're having a blast remembering everything what had we got during our high school days…... Well, Precious memories indeed!!!
Well, What about you? What's your favorite high school memory?
