How I Want to be Remembered After I Leave High School

Just few weeks from now, I will be graduating from high school. After 4 years of studying, yes at last! However, for me, that coming day will going to be a day full of emotions. Leaving is a very difficult thing since the bond that binds me with my batch mates is quite strong that it will require 1000 Newton to break that bond. I am just kidding.

Being a high school student is the best part of a person’s life. All kinds of situations are being experienced in this stage as well as different kinds of reactions being expressed.

Remembering is a way of reminiscing the times when we are still young and making the happy memories come to life again. I remember because I want to be happy and another reason is that to make the memories to be never lost in the blue. Remembering is one way of refreshing things or situations.

After graduating, we know that there will come a time that somebody or the batch will call for a reunion. Definitely, on that day, I will be remembering my classmates and batch mates through the memories that they have imprinted on my heart. And on that very day, one might say this line, “oh, remember ____ di ba he/she used to have this and that thingy. Then I will remember my batch mates, and mostly, what will come into my mind are the times when everybody is laughing at something. I usually remember someone by associating that someone with a thing or an event that happened few years back. Everybody is unique and will be remembered because of an extraordinary thing that he or she has created a sensation to everyone.

Everyone wants to be remembered in a nice and a beautiful manner. Like me, after I leave the happy high school days, I want to be remembered as my batch mates would want to remember me. However, more or less I want to be remembered by the noticeable things that I once did in high school. Remembered as the silent type and a fabricator of the corny jokes inside Tan, the source of the stapler, which suddenly got lost inside the classroom. I also wanted to be remembered as the jolly, cute fellow who is afraid of spiders. I want to be remembered in a good sense. I want to be remembered in my happy face.

Just like any other person, I want to that, my batch mates will remember me in a good and pretty sense. My batch mates would want to remember me in the uniqueness in me. Just like them, I would also remember them in their uniqueness.

For me, if I am to remember my batch mate or classmate, what directly comes into my mind is that classmate or batch mate of mine would create an extraordinary thing that made me laugh and cry or made me express my emotions well. However, I really want to be remembered, after I leave the portals of UP high school, or be associated with that something that my classmates think of me.
