How I want to be remembered after I leave High School

It takes several days more to go and we are going to leave our alma mater which is UP High School. But of course, we cannot deny the fact that we would really miss each and every one of us, through the good and bad times, laughter and the tears and whatever memories we have shared in our high school life. Well, its time to bid goodbye to our fellow teachers, batch mates and also to our school. But when leaving UP high school, how do you want to be remembered of?

If I am the one being asked about this question, I want to be remembered as one of the batch who loves music and who loves to play the guitar. Yes, I do love music and I love playing musical instruments especially the guitar. I also want to be remembered as a person who is a friend to everybody. I know that I am not that close to some of my batch mates but the truth is that I want to know them more and four years is not enough but still I am glad and thankful that I get the chance to meet and know them all. Actually, I am a secretive type of person. Some of my batch mates still don’t know most about me. As what others say, I am mysterious but friendly. But the truth is that I am shy to make friends or introduce myself first to a particular person but if that person wants to befriend me, then why not? I am happy if a person would befriend me or is glad to be my friend. But of course, I think everybody would remember me differently or has different opinions towards me. I don’t know but during the positive stroking in our retreat, what they can say about me is a person who loves to play the guitar, friendly, silent, etc. But that were only the opinions of my other batch mates. Some also find me a happy-go-lucky person or a lazy person when it comes to studying. As for my friends too, they say I am talkative outside of class but silent during class hours or school discussions. They say I am a person who loves to makes notes during classes but is not that attentive to the teacher. There are even others who ask me if when will I cry or when can they see me cry because I seldom cry and I cried only once in school and that was the time when it was the farewell of Bea Villamor last second-year high school because she is going to USA, who is one of my closest friends in school. Yes, I am a little bit numb and I think I inherit it from my father but that doesn’t mean that I have a heart of stone. When the situation demands, then maybe I can really cry. But of course I don’t want them to remember me as numb person. Some also of my classmates often teased me as KJ or kill joy that’s because when there are parlor games or contests at school, I am not fond of joining at it. If some would invite me to go anywhere else, sometimes I would fail to go with them. But of course, I have a reason for this and one is that I enjoy going home together with my family or going to my grandparent’s house at the province during Saturdays and Sundays that is why I cannot go with them most of the time. The truth is that I enjoy staying there and it’s the same thing since me and my brother and my other cousins would also hang-out there, anywhere we want to go and I know that they understand and know this. But I don’t normally get angry if they view me as this because it is their own opinion and not mine.

Each of my batch mates has really different views towards me. But of course, the truth is that I don’t want them to be remembering me as one of the batch who is lazy, KJ, would always fail in math, numb, etc. But of course, if they remember me as like that, I respect it. But of course, I really want them to remember me as one of the batch who is a friend to everyone, who loves to play the guitar/who loves music a lot and a happy-go-lucky one.
