JUNIOR YEAR
By Kathleen Amanense


“Junior year is the busiest year of the high school level”, as what Ms. Jade Ann Maaliao, the Social Studies teacher of the High School department stated when the Junior students shared something about their hectic schedules.

As a junior student, I, myself can really say that we are really busy nowadays even though we aren't halfway of the school year yet. There are instances that I can see my classmates' faces that they really startled about a certain thing, especially if that thing is about our co-curricular activity. In a simple way, I can prove that we are experiencing conflicts between our schedules. An example of that is during our scouting time, I can really see my classmates' leadership when it comes to handling the lower levels. Why? Because the junior students were addressed to become the troupe leaders in each patrol. Most of us complain about the schedules and activities that we are going through right this year. Kathryn Macaya, our class treasurer once stated, “Oh my gosh! The life of a junior student is really hard and challenging, our schedules are so hectic unlike before!” Imagine how our class treasurer realized that today's happenings serve as obstacles for us that we must overcome. These things are just a part of being a student. Every student has responsibilities. He plays a big role in the society. In the realm of life, education is one of the many means to success. Though this thing is just so common to students, still we find this thing too complex. The reason maybe because of the new things that the school is having and encountering these days. As an old student, I really find it hard to adopt the new environment that we are in. All things are just so new but still, it is a part of being an Angelican.

These things may not be difficult nor it is considered hectic. The thing is that we are taking things so seriously these days as if every day is a busy day which seems to be a good pace of life. We still are students that's why we feel that our time is getting shorter everytime we focus on things.
