Today, The school year ended.

This is a summary of my year.

This Sophomore year of mine really sucked. I really didn't get much from this year. This school year showed my lowest stuff-- Academics, Extra Curricular Activities, Social Life, Contests. I never really liked this year. Only a few things really made my year. These few things include 48 wonderful people-- Mrs. Maybelle Madrid and the rest of the II- St. Ignatius clan. Aside from them, I also have my GRIPZ and my very close journalist and non-journalist friends.

Although I faced one of the worst years in my life. I learned alot from inside and outside school. This was the first year wherein my brother was not around so I was eldest brother around. Inside the school, I met alot of amazing people and teachers who taught me about life and how to handle it.

Although this year did not end well because of some certain reasons (only my friends know), I tink it will be a start of a beautiful Junior year.

This year, I became less active. I was not part of this year's student council, I was just the Vice-Mayor of our class. My leadership skill was confined in that place alone. I could not really spread my wings.

I believe that I was very much distracted this year. I spent more time on the laptop and on my phone which caused a plunge in my grades. This was the year also where I returned to my caffeine-addicted self.

This year wasn't the best. I know. I'll just miss everything.

I will miss our classroom, filled with giant posts and a secret room. I didn't feel the ghosts at all. I would miss the times that all of us would end up saying the corniest jokes ever and making everybody laugh. I would miss the commendations we receive for such quality performances (except for the Florante and Laura)

Well, I think that's life. I'll just move on.
