START A NEW!

• By:Karen Joy Mangabat

So what’a senior high school really like? Is there more work? More stress? Will it be difficult to adjust again? To meet another people again? How am i going to make friends among these sea of unknown faces? How about the workload — is it a lot harder? That’s what i was thinking at first.

I may not know a lot of people when I start senior high school, because my friends from junior high are going to different school. I was lonely and sad at first, but as time goes by I coped up the loneliness I’ve been feeling, especially when I found out that I have 4 classmates from the past years. When I first talk to my new classmates  I find that we’re thinking the same thing, we feel the same thing. We’re all new to this and don’t know what to expect. Talking about a common concern with them spark new friendships.

I found out that I have more work to do and it’s a bit more challenging. But these challenges make me feel less bored with the usual routine — it feels great when you’ve mastered something really tough.

It’s okay if you’re nervous at first. It’s okay if you don’t have the best start. Just be patient and keep trying.
