After four years of being in the Special Science Class of Iloilo National High School, it's been very different here in AC. In high school, we were bombarded with school work and research, we were required to make a thesis by the time we graduated, individually. Now, being in AC is like a breath of fresh air. It's less stressful, and more manageable. I didn't even think of enrolling in AC at first, I was determined to get in the Theater Arts program of UP Diliman, but my aunt asked me to take the entrance exam here since AC has been investing in a good theater arts program as well. So i took it, passed, was offered the scholarship. But I still didn't consider, since I passed the UP program too. My mom and I went to AC just to look around and explore my options, it was until Miss Pinky talked to us and compared UP's program to ours that we had second thoughts. After that, bit by bit, I started considering AC and eventually enrolled. The first day was a breeze, I met new friends, my first close friend was Iyah. She was my roommate, so we spent a lot of our time together. As the week went by, our group of friends expanded and we slowly felt like we belonged. The first semester is coming to an end real soon, and it seemed just like yesterday that we were all shy freshmen at the orientation. Before we know it, we'll part, shift courses and schools. But I guess college is about experimenting, discovering who we are and who we want to be. I don't regret choosing AC, as long as I get to do what I love, I'll be happy. So here's to the coming years AC and I will have together! cheers. :)
