what's it like being a Public Highschool Girl

For the past two years of my high school life I had been on my comfort zone.I've got the best of friends , great teachers and schoolmates that treated me with so much importance.I was active in all the school activities , I was even the representative of our school in a spelling bee contest.Yeah .. life's good.I was comfortable with all that and I was pretty sure that feeling would last...Until this year on my third year I was transferred to a public school.Because of incomplete requirements I was placed in a lower section.It's okay to be in a public school but...to be in a lower section!?I was terribly mad.I started thinking everything was against me.I thought my friends had abandoned me , I was feeling totally left out.
   

I still didn't have any idea ,then, of what's it like being in a public school AND in a low section.I actually backed out on the first day.Months had passed and I can say there's a HUGE difference between a public and a private school.(I really should not list it down or the whole blogpost will be all about it.).I had made friends with my new classmates and all of them are real about themselves , they don't pretend to be something they're not and they make themselves crystal-clear.I've learned a lot from them.The thing is reputation is nothing to them and for the past two years I've been building and taking care of my reputation that I had to make sure everyone will like every decision I make even if I didnt like it , and I go to a school that has nothing to do with popularity.Its like working without pay.The other thing is the school uniform , that when you're in it the people in our place  will look at you as if you're a disgrace to humanity.Really! I personally know this coz I used to feel the same way for them when I was in a private school.I'ts because one action affects all.And recently some students are acting like illiterates and causing too much trouble outside the school.


There's this one incident when we will have our pictures taken in our uniform for a scrapbook project.Then this security guard came running towards us,like he's chasing thieves, and got us kicked out of the mall.Seriously?! I later on discovered that it was the school principal's order to not let students go in that mall.But still...they dont have to make that much commotion ,right?

At least now I know how it works for being in a public school and I know how to survive it.It has given me new perspective in life.Im learning from this whole public school experience and now I'm more aware. :)
