How Do I Want to Be Remembered After Leaving High School

High school is definitely the most memorable stage of our life. It is the stage where we start to mature. We are also in the adolescence stage in which many emotions are being discovered. We experiment with these emotions and we try to manage ourselves. We learn how to mingle with different kinds of people. We are taught with different skills that can be use in our future lives. We come to know our capabilities and limitations. We also learn how to somewhat decide for ourselves. We start to become independent.

Only three weeks or less is left for us in our high school life. We are about to end this very wonderful chapter of our lives from this prestigious university. It seems like yesterday that we started to become friends. We were strangers to each other but as days pass by, we shared smiles and tears. We have simple hi’s and hello’s at the beginning that grew into real friendship. We have been through a lot. We have solved so many problems and conquered our fears together. We have different personalities and I never thought that we could be united as one. We opened ourselves to be seen by each one of us and we let each one of us discover who we really are. Within the four years, we were there for one another.

I do hope that I made an impact to your lives. We gave each other the opportunity to know the real us. I wish that I had opened my doors wide for you to see what is truly inside of me. I pray that you cannot forget me after high school.

There are only few things that I want you to remember about the real Mary Grace. I am just a simple and ordinary student like other students. I am not sophisticated. I opt for simple things.
I want you to remember a Grace that is a true friend. I am somebody whom you can trust and somebody whom you can talk to in times of happiness and loneliness. When you fall down, I am ready to help you stand again.

I want you to remember a Gracie that is weak. I am someone who needs you. I am not that strong to face all the obstacles alone in my life. I have faced and conquered all my fears with your help. I am who I am now because of your help. I have achieved things with your support. I am a complete well being because of you.

And most of all, I want you to remember a Grasya that is happy. I easily laugh at corny jokes. I may also laugh like the distracting sound of a rifle. But all those laughter are true. I really enjoyed your accompaniment. There were no boring moments in my stay with UP because of our different stories.

I would really want to spend quality time with everyone. I will not waste my last days in UP. I would want to reach out to everyone and thank you for making my stay in UP a memorable one.
