There's No Place Like HOME - No Place Like SLU-LHS

Have you ever found the right place for you? Where you feel comfortable? Where you find happiness? And where you find content? Just exactly like a happy home? Well, I just did.

You know, when I was in my pre-school years, I really fear to go to school. My mom had to bring me right before my classroom two hours before my class starts. Especially, in the first day. Even if its still dark outside and nobody can be seen walking around, we have to be there. She is a teacher. So during those times, she mostly have classes that start before or exactly the time I also start my class. So she needs probably an hour to use just trying to convince me to go and enter my class then she has to give me sometime to stop crying so that I would not look stupid in class. So when I'm finally convinced and am ready to go to class, she would bring me to my teacher and talk to her about something and then she would let go of my hand. And that's when I start to cry again. But she only uses sometime to make me stop crying. Not as long as the first one. But its good to know that this attitude of mine gradually decreases through the years.

So, you'd probably think I hate school, huh? Well, I don't. I go home with a happy smile in my face and a lot of stories to tell about how wonderful my day was.

Now, as I am in High School, I learned to love more my lifestyle. That is because my lifestyle includes going to school.

My school serves as my second home. It has even my second family on it. How could that not be possible if I am in school for almost 10 hours a day in 5 days a week in 10 months. It really eats up more than half of the time I have. I do most of my stuffs that are connected to school. But I don't forget my responsibilities at home. My family is always my priority. That's the main reason why I go to school. I aim to attain a good life for them.

Saint Louis University-Laboratory High School has given me many many advantages that I can use for my life. It feeds me up with the knowledge I need to have. It embraces me with all the values I need to enhance. And it carves my way to my own future. My school is simply not like any other schools. It is an extraordinary transformative school that I have ever wanted.

Every faculty, every staff, and every student is a teacher to me. They play a part in teaching me different aspects for living. For every incident that I encounter in school, I always gain new values to live up. For every occasion that occurs in school, I learn to value every single day of my life. For every success I achieve, I always tap myself with humility. And for every failure I had, I build up the strength and courage I have.

My school is certainly like a home. It gives me comfort, knowing that my friends, the people who I can lean one are in there. It gives me guidance, knowing that my teachers would always act like a parent to his/her students. It gives me support, knowing that they will always believe in what I can do. And it gives me love, knowing that every student is valuable to the school.

Whatever you say or do, you can never change the fact that SLU-LHS is certainly a home, a school that gives you the commons of a home.

SLU LHS is my school, my home. The place where my world evolves. :)
