Ever since the beginning of the school days, our mentors have been with us to teach us lessons in the book and also about life. They became part of our lives and they have been good friends to us. We found second parents in them and they have been there to help us in our daily struggles, may it be school related or not.

As they say, experience is the best teacher. So, as the Know Your School Day is celebrated again by the students of UP High, we paid tribute to the mentors and gave them time to have a break and see for themselves how big their contributions are into our lives.

I wanted to have a high position for this year since every year; I get to explore the different positions that I like to have. This year is entirely a different experience for me since I got a position that I never thought I would be in. I have applied for the last minute, as the Students’ Affairs Adviser. Meaning, I took the job of Ma’am Ligaya Rabago Visaya.

I was not honestly sure what I was entering, all I know is that I want to have a different dish for the last time.

So, I was given the chance to read all the excuse letters of all the violators in UP High (including mine too) and found out for my self that I am not the only person who is on the boat of violations! Hahaha!!!

Also, ma’am let me stay in the Leader and rearrange the entire area and eventually beautify it. As I was there, I turned on the radio and had fun. Also, ma’am gave me a task and that is to list down all the students’ activities and achievements. Because ma’am gave me that thing to do, I was excused from the very tiring formation and very hot cleaning session (hahaha!!!).

At the end of the entire activity, I was able to realize that it is not that easy to maintain the Leader, sign the papers, read all the apology letters and implement to the students the school rules.

The very unforgettable experience I had while being on the position is that I was able to get out of the boring classes we had and I was able to sleep with the music and comfort and of course, relax! Hahaha! Rocking!!!

For sure, I won’t forget these experiences that I have and as I leave my alma mater, I will always carry in my heart the very wonderful moments we have shared with my mentors and my batch mates as well.
