When I was in nursery, kindergarten, and grade 1, I was studying at Holy Spirit Preparatory Academy near our house. I can say that I’m a smart kid but a very shy one.

 My parents had thought about switching schools, but we couldn't enroll into PCCAES because they were thinking that the school seems a bit far and might take a while to get there. 

But when pandemic struck, it was then that I was able to transfer to PCCAES. I was only a 2nd grader when I finally changed schools, modular and online classes were the only way to be able to educate learners.

 ୨⎯ 2ND GRADE ⎯୧ 

  

                     

On my 2nd grade, my section was II Cosmos, with Ma'am Tricia Bugayong as my adviser. Every Monday before the class starts, we attend flag ceremony at home. Just like the normal flag ceremony, we sing National Anthem, Panatang Makabayan and even dance Zumba!

Parents or guardians also have to go to the school for collecting modules, so that the students can answer them. Some of the teachers would also require a picture of the learner while they're answering the modules, because according to the news, many reported that the parents are the one answering the modules instead of the students.

୨⎯ 3RD GRADE ⎯୧

The image above is the 1st day of  my Grade 3, with online classes still ongoing for the sake of protection from the viruses. At the 3rd grade, I was in III Dynamic with Ma'am Leah Dauz as my adviser. I still learned a lot, listening to teachers, doing the activities, but my grades aren't as high as the previous school years. I suppose it's because of lack of recitation nor participation.

We did multiple projects and activities, such as cooking for Science, with the example above.

                           

This is the first time I met teacher Leah in person, during the releasing of card.

୨⎯ 4TH GRADE ⎯୧

Heading onto my 4th Grade, I was placed in IV Joshua with Ma'am Tricia Trongco as my adviser.

This was the first dry run for the 4th Grade, this is my first time meeting my classmates, so I was a bit nervous on how to make my first impression.

This is the christmas party, and we had a lot of fun! We did multiple games, prizes, and our teacher handed out free Christmas hats! 

                                                   

When our teacher announced that for all the girl scouts who want to join the 2023 Lagro Girl Scout activity, I joined the activity since I wanted to fill my sash with badges. Our adviser also happened to be the Girl scout head Coordinator.

For the activity, highschool and college scouts were included, and our activity is to make the best introduction. My current girl scout classmates also joined, and we had fun! The one who made our presentation was our leader, Chantal / Pablo. This activity was the reason the two of us got to know each other even when Chantal was at the star section, and I was in a different one.

                                                             

This was our last day and recognition day, and I was awarded Top 2 of the whole class, along with a girl scout certificate. The 1st and 2nd quarter, I was the Top 3 and for the 3rd and 4th quarter, I was the Top 2.

 ୨⎯ 5TH GRADE ⎯୧

This was the Girl Scout Parade for Brigada eskwela 2023 , a badge was also given from Ma'am Tricia for the participation.

This was during the United Nations, and I'm the girl who wore the purple Chinese dress. My mom decided that I should represent china, since it's the quickest and most simple traditional clothing.

This is another Girl scout activity - 3 day camping 2023 at the Girl scout Quezon City council. Multiple schools were also invited, and we did so many things. We walked the entire street around the council, which takes about 30-40 minutes to finish, then we went to the church, christmas celebrations, and many more.

This was our Christmas party, and we had some games, talent shows, and then eating celebrations!

This is the thinking day activity 2024 at PCCAES, and I am the patrol leader of my group. This was in grade 5, and I wasn't in the star section back then. Yet, the members under my group are star students! The star students included in my group were Rizzini Viernes, Aaliyah Castro, and Princess Boholano! Gosh, my classmates joked about how am I the leader of star students. My members were in section 1&2 !!

This is the 2nd Thinking day Activity 2024 at the Benigno Aquino Elementary School, and I was with my current (grade 5) classmate that time, with Pablo and Castro. The games included were stack the cups, blow the marbles, fastest group wins, and more. 

Thankful for my parents who always make time to support me with these activities.

This is the last and recognition day of grade 5, and I was very happy with my result. Having achieved Top 1 learner of the whole class for the whole year. 

୨⎯ 6TH GRADE ⎯୧

This was the Brigada eskwela 2024, and I helped in cleaning the VI Duterte room because that was my section back then.

This was the time I did the opening prayer, and I was so nervous and excited at that time. I want to participate in opening activities during flag ceremonies if I can because, I want to show my previous classmates (grade 4-5) that I'm a student of the highest section and that I'm on stage now!

This is the 2024 Buwan ng wika, and I'm a bit sad since the parade wasn't organized, I really wanted to at least greet my old classmates. But, I'm happy that I'm able to join this parade with my current classmates.

I am looking forward to this school year, and I'm excited for the outcome. 

Sometimes, I wonder how my journey in PCCAES would be if I was switched to the Star section during my early school years. Does that mean I wouldn't meet my friends then? Well maybe I would have other friends.

During the 4th and 5th Grade, my classmates would  asked me why I’m still not in the star section. I myself didn't even know why. 

I am very thankful for my previous classmates, we created memorable memories that are worth more than a diamond. 

During my first week of school, it was a bit awkward. Well maybe because every single one of us were from different sections and don't know each other well. The classroom behaved well than expected, and it felt new to me since I was used to a noisy fun classroom :)

But at the last day of the week, Ma'am Glenda along with you Ma'am Reygen told me that starting monday I'll be moved to Marcos Jr.

And that's a new chapter.

Monday, my first day at Marcos Jr, was surprisingly not really what i expected. Back then, I always thought that section 1 is always quiet. They were really friendly and kind, and honestly, I was surprised at the formal greeting by my classmate! 

Star students that I already knew way back then greeted me, welcoming me as a part of Marcos Jr.

They were funny, and I became unexpectedly close with my classmates that I sit near to. Around the middle of the week, we were already close. Sadly, for the next few weeks, our seats were scattered. We were really far from each other, the closest that I sit is with Comia. But Ahxiancey and Angelo were far :(

Overrall, I am having fun in this section. Though it's only been a month since we've been together, it already feels so long when it comes to bond. Since I was one of the 'new' students transferred here, sure I don't interact with the others much since it may be our first time meeting. But, I can say that most of my classmates are now considered as my best friends. 

I hope that this school year is the most memorable one out of my long journey here in PCCAES. Let's have a fun time for this whole year, as it is our last school year in PCCAES as elementary students.
