I have never really imagined myself standing in front of this large and dark gate where I thought would only just be a dream and yet, here I am, about to set my foot in with dignity I have left but still full of nervousness and lack of confidence.
In a count of 3, I am going to do it.
1… 2… and 3…
Nervously raising my right foot and then the other and again my right foot and so forth, I did not realize I was actually marching inside the campus. The memory is still so vivid in my mind the very first time I dreamt of being one of the students in St. Therese Educational Foundation of Tacloban Inc. It was like something struck my heart as if this was it. This was actually the school I really wanted to attend to and graduate in.
Before, by simply looking at the photos and videos online about the school made me so excited to the time when or if I could become a student here. One of which is that I know the school was so prestigious. So prestigious in a way that the students were being practiced to speak fluently in the language English. And I knew this school wasn’t just about academic learning, although they are indeed excellent and still on the process of progressing in academics. Not to mention they join some various contests in the city, it may be a Quiz Bee, Journalism, Art Contests or Sports Games, but they are also centering human development not only with quality but also with Christ.
Upon seeing the students in the photos,they were all smiling, having the time of their lives like they have not regretted enrolling in that school and made me so jealous that I also wanted to be with them, to be one of them. And that’s when I set my goal to enter someday in that campus.
And then I just can’t believe it. I really can’t. Now I’m officially wearing the same uniform as them, so fancy and majestic. I’m officially becoming a student in my dream school, I mean my now official school. And I can’t express how happy I am right now to have my dream became a reality.
