Education History

?~1990, Divine Light Academy, Las Pinas, PH. Kinder, Preparatory. Hmm. I have very few memories on Kinder and Preparatory school days. We used to assemble in front of the flag pole and sing the national anthem. We were asked to raise both our hands so that we, the students, form a straight line. Hmm, I realized I skipped Nursery.

1990~1996, Divine Light Academy, Las Pinas, PH. Elementary or grade school. Lots of memories here. I enjoyed rainy days when there are no classes. I come to think of it today - that elementary was really really easy. Subjects were like, Home Economics, Spelling, Art. Piece of cake.

1996~2000, St. Benedict College, Alabang, PH. High school. The tough gets going. Science becomes Chemistry and Physics, Math becomes Algebra and Trigonometry. The girls also got a little prettier. Boys have become more playful. During high school, my barkada was quite a line up - some of us were involved in fraternity groups, some love to cut classes, some like to steal things, some of us don't love to study, some of us love to cheat. We were the bully, not the prey. We were number 1 on the disciplinarian office list. Nevertheless, I got through it.

2000~2004, De La Salle University, Manila, PH. College. Tough really really gets going. Algebra turns into Calculus. Science isn't a subject anymore. To name a few of my major projects, there were Systems Analysis, Project Management, and Computer Programming. The heaviest of all subjects - Thesis. Boys have become gentlemen to girls. They got past the 'totoy' stage. Girls? They have become more ladylike. Group of friends? Totally new and different than high school friends. We love to study, we love to be on top, we like to work as a team, we like to go out during breaks to have fun.
