From the multitude of hopefuls, we were taken...
All 90 if us distinct, unique individuals,
all willing to satisfy a self-same yearning of drinking the sweet elixir of knowledge,
going further to treading the unknown grounds of High School.
And not just any...
But that of the Philippine Science High School - Eastern Visayas Campus.
We are the brave ones. We are her scholars.
Then we are a level higher, but still two years short.
Did we follow the path we've set almost childishly once before?
Were our own determinations dampened?
No, absolutely not.
We have proven our worth and unknowingly surpassed the barriers of our abilitiies,
even beyond our wildest imaginations...
We were the first batch not to undergo the science and technology streaming.
We pioneered the Speech Class that will mould the skills of many more scholars to come.
We started to form bonds
and bands with music, a strong element that held us together.
Two years to go...
Advancing now to another level, though now a family of five members short,
again, we made history.
Remember how we hollered and dance our hearts, and lungs out for that matter,
clawing aside the norm, and claiming the basketball floor?
Do we still talk about Snow White's little dwarves, Cinderella's start of something new,
and Belle's handsome beast?
And wonder how a little trip to Cebu brought us even closer?
Remember how we traveled to Japan, China, India, and Africa inside the four walls of our classrooms?
It was incredibly exhausting, but definitely rewarding.
For three years we denied the existence of our fourth and last year in highschool.
But now we couldn't...
We have experienced it all. We've had our ups, we've had our downs.
We've celebrated our wins and we've learned from our losses.
But it all must come to an end...
For four years we've tried to ignore that fact
But it becomes painfully undeniable as we experience our lasts.
Our last Pisay night,
Our last Sportsfest,
Christmas Party,
JS Prom.
And now that the painful truth is overwhelming us,
we look back at all the amazing experiences, all the incredible lessons, all the unforgettable days,
and we realize, we actually enjoyed it all.
So before we part, and as we part, let's smile Batch'08.
Lets all smile to our good past, as we move to a better future.
