𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄| 𝗚𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗦 𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗙𝗧

𝓐s the sun sets and caps start to fly, there’s a deep sense of nostalgia that lingers to each and everyone. A feeling of such an abundant joy. But even if happiness stands proud, the gloom of sadness starts to take effect, as you stand and realize that even the birds that flock together, their feathers start to drift and go to new heathers.

High School is a stage where most people state, “It is something to be remembered”.It was the second home of students, where they experience their firsts and develop themselves into better individual. A home where many express their real self, and where bond of friendship is shared and keep sacred.

High School life is a treasure of the past, and the life lived by the present. The lessons taught by teachers, and the unforgettable moments are what makes it special.

But how does something you hold and cared for gets loose and change?

𝘽𝙔 𝙎𝘾𝘼𝙍𝙎 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘾𝙃𝘼𝙉𝘾𝙀

Everything in this world is unhinged, no matter what- change is constant in our universe. And one of those is graduating.

The Scars of those senior, who will left their home for over 6 years, now will transfer to their new nests. The bleed that flows through the cuts that change can make is inevitable. The crimson blood, that which looked closer is filled with core memories.

The cries of the completer from the students of Junior High, that for over 4 years time will now sure to make them face reality. Growth starts to make a realization, maturity is now knocking within their doors.

Scars are made when someone gets cut deep with something, yet other scars are made in school where they meet the unexpected. But scars are symbol of independence, which means a person can overtake the challenges and problems that fate gave, and chances are made to make dreams come true.

Even if destiny left you the scars, those scars are your memorable journey- for the chances to make something, for you and others life to be better. The Chance for the Seniors and Junior to take another step in accomplishing a life long academic roller coaster. The Chance to rise and be on top- to reach the pinnacle of the stars they dreamt to reach.

But scars and chances are nothing, when goodbyes makes you blue.

𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙂𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 𝙂𝙤𝙤𝙙𝙗𝙮𝙚

It’s really sad to say goodbye to the friends you’ve been with for such many years. The tests you’ve been through together made yourselves stronger than ever. But God always has a plan for everyone- and the pathway you take can differ from another.

Through thick and thin, the circle ignites the spark that no one can ever take. From Hell weeks to standing on podiums- both which take apart was challenged and triumphant, and for now and forever it’s the goodbye that both suffer from.

𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙔𝙤𝙪, 𝙈𝙮 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙.

And then the time has come, for the group to take the path for their dreams to turn into reality. The chance for the better and the hope to make the change for themselves.

No matter what happens, the lessons of the past must continue to the present and future high schoolers. Change is constant, and it is not a loss to take something for yourself: you can never be stuck in a mud for too long, or else you wouldn’t get cleaned.


For the memories made, and the bond experienced by each student. High School is surely the best stage for many- but let us all be reminded that we can never really erase the “missing” something, yet it is up to us if we want to stick or leave. It was never really a “goodbye”, it was always a “see you, later”, and it was the gains we have that we hope to be with each other until the end of time. Thank you, My Friend.

Congratulations, Quezonians! Padayon School Year 2025-2026, Thanks be to God! 🎉🥳
