ALL for ONE, ONE for ALL- this applies not only to the Three Musketeers but for the Angel Sealtiel Class as well. We see no reason to push to get ahead, we are content with patience instead, often criticized and misunderstood, but if you'll look into our hearts you'll see we're good. This is our story.
During our Second Year in High School, we were the Angel Uriel Class. We had a lot of conflicts and misunderstandings in our class; it was a difficult time for us. It was the time of the year when friends weren't dear. There was a time when the whole class was against a classmate and this happened thrice. There was a time when one group of friends was against another group of friends. There was also a time when friends fought against each other. But despite all of these, we were able to realize that all those conflicts were just gifts from God and were God's ways to bind us together.
At exactly 8 o 'clock in the morning of February 7, we arrived at Antonio Co's Beach Resort in Sacsac, Bacong, Oriental Negros for our class Recollection. After lunch, Fr. Julius Heruela, who facilitated our recollection, asked us to write eight messages to classmates whom we weren't really close with. For most of us, it was not easy to forgive and forget others, but we were able to overcome this. Present that afternoon were the mixed emotions of the Angel Uriel class. We were hugging each other while tears of regret and joy streamed down our faces. Nothing will ever be the same again, our newly found friendship with each other bound us and we will make it last forever. The scenarios that followed were the clicks and flash of cameras countered by our smiling faces that reached the heavens that afternoon.
On the last day of our Second Year life, we gave our adviser a trophy saying, “D' Best Adviser in the Whole World!” To our beloved adviser, Mr. Lary T. Gajelomo, thank you for being able to withstand the storm…that is our class.
Summer vacation felt like forever until we realized that it was time to get back to school, to begin a new school year. The year started with two unfortunate events: one of our classmates moved to Manila and another one transferred to the school next door. At the beginning of the school year, minor and major problems swarmed our tight-knitted class. We were able to conquer all of these problems together.
One day, October 23, an innocent teacher and adviser went teary eyes with a surprise birthday blast that we were able to organize. The said party was planned all throughout Tuesday, the day before, without the knowledge of the birthday celebrant. To our dearest adviser, Mr. Roy K. Pavericio, thank you and belated happy birthday. I wonder… When will be the next time that our organizational skills will be put to the test?
When we join contests, of course we want to win but still, our attention is focused on our being able to work and win them together. We don't want to wage wars and fight battles; all we want to do is enjoy the company of each other. And, yes, we do defend each other. We do this because that is how we show our love and care for each other. The truth is, we want to be remembered not as an attention-wanting section like what most think but all we want is to be remembered as a class with a motto, a theme and a purpose. We are different from each other and that is why we are unique. We COLLIDE and we want all of you to know that!!
