They say High School Life is the most unforgettable in our life as a student.... for me its different, my high school life did not leave that much spark in my life, it was kinda boring for me. At that time, I was still a kid at heart and everything that happened does not seem to be that much memorable for me.
It is my college life that gave so much in me. Not only that I had so many unforgettable and happy memories, it is also the point of my life that I have learned how to live independently (partial only, because I still get my allowance from my parents). Living away from my parents and staying in a dormitory with schoolmates younger and older than I am, was at first very awkward. It was a big adjustment for me, being a girl raised from a province where everybody in the community is almost family, because we are staying in a compound where we are all relatives. My first year is really very sad, aside from the fact that I am such a loner, most of the seniors in the dormitory, though they don't intend to, bully the new comers. Me, being a loner has preferred to live separated from them. I would go to school during the day, and after my class would go straight to my room and lock myself in while others would go in the balcony and have a nice chat with each other. Even in the class, I was not able to mingle easily with my classmates, Just got so lucky that there is one girl in the class who also prefer to be alone. We became friends and just the two of us until that semester is over. When the next semester came, I immediately look for her, but found out from her aunt who is working in the registration office, that she has transferred in another University near her place, so she would not be required to stay in the dormitory. I felt bad at that time, but what can I do, its her choice. Still I was able to have another friend, but this time this girl is very outgoing and knows almost everybody in our class. At times I would go with her, but most of the times, I would rather stay inside the room and wait for the next class. My second year has improved a lot, I became more open to my classmates, I started to mingle with them, but in small groups only. But I never had a close friend I could call until I was in the third year. My group started with just the two of us, then I got close to another girl who also has another close friend. There were four of us then. Then there were two boys also, who came along. That was how our group is formed. The six of us did not only became friends but also group-mates in our projects, researches and almost every school activities.....
Now, we are all grown up, we've had our own lives and struggles after we have graduated, and I never had seen any of them since then. I was able to land a job in the city, which I left after three years, then got another one, then again left after a year... until my sister has brought me abroad where I now work for almost six years. In this country is also where I met my husband...
