A letter from April 21, 2025

Dear me, Hi! I am now done with 11th grade. Finally! Well, I was done last Monday, and I finished my 1st year in senior high school with honours. I brought 3 medals home, one for the honour title I deserve, and the other two were from my journalism journey. Ang masasabi ko lang sa'yo ay I am proud of you! Sa lahat ng na pagdaanan natin nagawa nating lampasan. From the biggest heartbreak we had back at august, the monkey pox we catched that removed us from the honour list at the very first quarter of the school year last September, the struggles we had just to bring back our name to the honor list, the other heartbreak from the same guy last December because of his mixed signals (Eww by the way), the struggles we had when our parents separated ways and when our mom told us to move out the house, our lola on our mom's side hating us. Well, I think those are just the 1% problems we had this school year, but I am proud of us for overcoming it. Those tears gave us a lot of lessons that we've learned and that we will surely treasure forever. I am now sitting and writing this letter for you to know that giving up isn't our thing. As I stepped on my last year in high school, I will promise you to give my best. I will also promise you that I will cherish all the memories we'll make. I hope that Mary is still our one call away friend (I know that in the other letter you were expecting Khyna...we are still friends but drift away a long time ago.) And I hope that our classmates will stay funny, kind and generous. I hope that you are okay because I know that you are going to be sad because its graduation day. I know that you did cry earlier or later HAHAHA. I will surely miss those people who made me so happy. I hope that our journey will continue with grace. Enjoy grad and prepare for college. You can do this! Mwa
