I'm so excited on my first day of school in the University of the Philippines. After along time of waiting, the final day comes. I woke up early in the morning and went to school early. When I entered the school campus it was so quiet. There are only few people roaming around. When I entered the room that was assigned to me it was so silent too. I directly found a seat at the front of the table. While I was thinking of what are we going to do during our class hours, I felt tired. Maybe I am tired of thinking so I felt asleep. When the bell rang my seatmate woke me up. When I knew that the bell rang, we directly ran to the open court. When we are doing the flag ceremony, I was amazed on their way of doing the flag ceremony. Here in the University of the Philippines they will sing the National Anthem, recite the Panunumpa sa Watawat and Panatang Makabayan, and sing their university hymn. While in my former school, we only had our prayer that was articulated as a song. We also sing the National Anthem, recite the Panatang Makabayan and then were done. After the flag ceremony, I slowly walked along the corridors and entered the room silently. Still my classmates aren’t talking with each other. Maybe we are just shy to talk to each other because many of us didn’t know each other’s names. In our first period of classes, the teachers were not around. Maybe they are busy of doing something. So what we do was staying silent in our temporary seats. After a few minutes some of my classmates began to talk to each other. But still some of my classmates aren’t talking. A seat of mine introduced his name. His name was Dan Clever Gigantone. He also introduced some of his friends or his former classmates to me. They were Emme Angelique Generoso, Jhon Elmar Landiza, Leslie Ann Destajo, and George Mañapao. I thought that Dan isn’t a good and kind boy but I was wrong. He was good, nice and outspoken to me. Also he is talkative. He is also friendly at most of the times. After 2 hours of waiting at least a teacher came in. Her name was Prof. Rosario Montaño but she would rather want us to call her Madame Montaño. We introduced our names too. When one of my classmates introduced her name I was amazed of her voice. Her voice was really small and cute. Her name was Mayflor H. Deguit. I also knew many schools like STEC (Science and Technology Education Center), Mt. Sinai Learning Center, Bario Luz Elementary School, San Roque Learning Center, Lahug Christian School and many more. Many of my classmates now also joined the graduation in Abellana Gymnasium last year. I was really amused of the different things that are happening around me. Life here in University of the Philippines is really different if you compare it in your elementary life. They are too different especially if you came from a public school. I am really excited of what is really in the University of the Philippines. I am excited of the new things that will happen and encounter me in my life as a U.P. High student.
