Iskul-Bukol: What I Have done and Never have I School Edition

There is another prompt challenge here in read.cash and now it talks about our school life. Aggh, I quietly missed my high school memories because of this one. Every time that someone will ask me how was my journey as a high school student, I don't know which part of it will I tell because high school was a very memorable one. It was a long journey for me. Imagine, my whole high school life revolved around one catholic school, and one section, and the same people.. for FOUR YEARS!

Oh yeah, I entered a Catholic Private school last 2011 up to the year 2014 and I just worked with the same blockmates there. The school was like a daycare for me because they only maintain a small group of students there. In every grade, there are only 30-45 students and most of it was all girls. So are you curious what are the things that I did while I was in there? Many of you might be thinking that I am such a good lady because I attended catholic school but accckkk, I will tell you now, I was still able to do things against our rules and regulations there.

Anyway, try to listen to this song while you are reading the entire article.

So here we go to another prompt challenge leaded by @kingofreview and if you also want to join this challenge, try first to read his updated article about it. Btw, permission to also use this template that I also saw on Pinterest.

Skipped a class

I did it a lot of times. Lalo na nung time na bagong opera ako because of appendicitis, lagi akong nagpapa clinic kasi ayokong umattend ng class lalo na kapag ang pinaka ayaw kong subject na. Papasok lang ako kapag magpapa quiz na lang sya. Tapos ako, lagi akong exempted kasi nasa clinic tamang tulog lang.

Cheated on an exam

Many times na din. There was a time that my teacher caught me on the spot pero madami kami noon nung nag cheat and kasama namin yung valedictorian. Hehe. So when our teacher caught us, she just took another exam and all of us were sitting far from one another.

Forged my parent's signature

I always forged my mom's signature kasi lagi siyang pinatatawag sa school dahil sa mga pinag gagawa ko. See? I am such a bad@ss.

Bullied anyone at school

Yeah, when I was in the first to the second year, I bullied one of my classmates, and later on, she became one of my best friends.

Been suspended from the School

Actually, I was not suspended but I just chose not to attend class because of the grave offense I have done. When we are graduating from high school, I got pregnant and the whole school was in chaos. Everyone talks about me and I really hate that part. But still, they gave me my diploma.

Been in the bottom three of the class

There was a time that I am really at the bottom because I started to get rebelled in school and with my parents. To be honest, I really regret it and really felt sorry for myself and t the people I hurt at that time.

Hit someone with a chalk

I never hit someone with chalk. I never like the idea of hurting others physically. For me, it is better to be a bully. But of course, don't attempt to be like this because it just brings you no good okay?

Make fake excuses for being late

Yes, I also did this when we skipped class in the first subject and entered the second subject. Some of my classmates and I met at the dike side and we just went to Mcdonalds to eat breakfast. When we headed to school and our adviser interviewed us about why we are late, we just said that we woke up very late but of course, she didn't believe it.

Being homeschooled

I just homeschooled because of the pandemic in 2020 but in my whole school life, I never had a chance to attend virtual school and I think that time, it was not really applicable here in the country.

Hit someone hard

As I said, I never hurt anyone.

Had a crush on someone in my class

Never had a crush in our class because most of us are girls and the boys there are such a bully at that time, I am more in love with some male characters in some pocket books.

Been a monitor or a prefect

No, I did not become one because the class is so small and the first ones to be noticed are those in honors.

Enjoyed studying

There was a subject that I really want to attend and that was social studies and philosophy. For me, listening to the discussion on this subjects are really mesmerizing.

Acted cool to get attention

I am such a shy type years ago so I don't like being the apple of the eye by so many people and I don't like to be noticed as always.

Taken part in a school play

I played Ibong Adarna once. I am the one who sang almost the whole part of the play and to be honest, that's where I started to become active on participating in play. I was also acted in Thetre before.

Had a water fight

Yes I played water fight with my classmates in Highschool. And as I remember, that's because of the games we played during foundation day. In our school, there was a time that when we celebrate intramurals, there will be a gathering after and playing different games are one of it.

Threw ink at someone

As I said to @kingofreview , I will never do it because it is a bit harsh and ink is one of the most irritating stain that never leave in a cloth. That is also a bit harsh so I will never do it.

Sent a love note

Do you know that I once fell inlove with my teacher? In our school, teachers there were very young and fresh graduates from college so when I was in First year, I confess to my adviser but because it was not allow, He said to me that maybe I just attracted to him as a teacher only. OMG, nakakahiya.

A year after, he decided to go home to their province Mindoro and teach there. Literal na Pighati.

And that's one of those memories I remember in my Highschool journey. Actually, my classmates and I are still friends because they are just around my area. I quietly missed them and there is a part of me that wants to go back to correct my wrong doings back then..

But still, it was a great journey. A journey that I will never forget because High school life taught me how to be confident about my own beauty and to be self-efficient woman.
