hungryenjoycoke Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I was a consistent topnotcher in the class when i was in gradeschool as well as in highshool.It puts pressure in me that i have to do good in school and it doesn't make me healthy.I had this classmate who got pissed off to our class valedictorian. Our class valedictorian, by the way, was always favored by our teachers - he was indeed the teacher's pet...also he became "crush ng bayan" (even if he's not that good-looking).. as in "kung ang Dyos nagbuhos ng magagandang biyaya.Sinalo nya lahat"... That's why, we secretly formed group studies just to beat him down the top.. We're not that mean actually, di naman crab mentality...kc naman he's been so mayabang na and feeling famous as in he feels that no once could beat him... Until, yun nga we graduated highschool na sya yung class valedictorian. Inspired by this classmate of mine who was so pissed of with Mr. Yabang Valedictorian, "HINDI ARAW-ARAW PASKO!..." We were happy we graduated both Cum Laude, while Mr. Highschool Valedictorian also graduated college but now a tambay in our town and pursuing to become a politician... good luck! ...."hindi araw-araw pasko" Quote Link to comment
the grudge Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 "MERRY CHRISTMAS" KAHIT HINDI ARAW-ARAW AY PASKO. :upside:  I NEVER WAS AN HONOR STUDENT IF YOU CONSIDER THE RANKS OF VALEDICTORIAN, SALUTATORIAN, AND HONORABLE MENTION IN GRADE AND HIGH SCHOOL. THE CLOSEST I GOT WAS AS A PROMOTION FROM 6TH GRADE AND AUTOMATIC QUALIFICATION TO 1ST YEAR HIGH SCHOOL (YES, AT THAT TIME, MY GS/HS ALMA MATER OFFERED THE UNIQUE 7TH GRADE LEVEL) BECAUSE OF MY INVOLVEMENT IN CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES THAT HAD MADE ME SOMEWHAT OF A KNOWN PERSONALITY INSIDE AND SURROUNDING OUR SCHOOL (WE WERE SURROUNDED BY CEU, HOLY SPIRIT, AND LA CONSOLACION SCHOOLS, SO YOU WOULD KNOW FROM WHERE I WAS). AT ANY RATE, THERE WERE ABOUT A DOZEN OR SO OF US WHO WERE "ACCELERATED" INTO 1ST YEAR HS. OUR GRADUATION WAS SPECIAL, IN THAT WE WERE THE ONLY GROUP OF GRADE SIXERS IN A CLASS OF GRADE 7 GRADUATES. THERE WAS AN UNDERTAKING THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE PROMOTION. WE WERE REQUIRED TO UNDERGO A 2-MONTH SUMMER COURSE WHERE THE LESSONS TAUGHT IN THE 7TH GRADE FOR THE WHOLE YEAR WERE IMPARTED TO US IN 8 WEEKS. THAT IS WHAT I CAN CALL INFORMATION OVERLOAD.  I MISSED SUMMER THAT TIME (1980). MY BROTHERS WENT OFF TO BICOL TO SPEND VACATION WHILE I WAS LEFT ALONE IN THE HOUSE (OF COURSE PARENTS WERE THERE) AND WAS GOING TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY DURING THAT TIME.  ----------------- IN HIGH SCHOOL, THOUGH I ALSO NEVER MADE IT TO THE TOP 3 AND TOP 10 COME GRADUATION, I WAS POSITIONED AMONG THE TOP OF THE BRIGHTEST. I BELONGED TO THE PREMIER SECTION WHERE ALL THE AWARDEES CAME FROM. ----------------- IN COLLEGE, MEDYO HULIHAN NA AKO. CRAZY IN LOVE KASI NUONG ARAW. (PARA BA NAMAN NGAYON DI AKO CRAZY IN LOVE? ) BUT IN THE OTHER THREAD, I POSTED THAT I WAS ALSO A SCHOLAR - A WORKING SCHOLAR FOR THAT MATTER. BUT THAT IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. MY PROFESSOR IN HUMANITIES ONCE COMMENTED IN FRONT OF THE CLASS HOW COME THAT I AM ABLE TO COMPLETE MY ASSIGNMENTS AND REPORTS AND YET WORK AND STUDY AT THE SAME TIME, WHILE MY OTHER CLASSMATES WERE JUST PLAIN STUDENTS WHO COULDN'T EVEN ANSWER IN CLASS. IN MANAGERIAL ECONOMICS, I EARNED THE PRAISE AND RESPECT OF MY PROFESSOR FOR BEING ABLE TO COME TO CLASS COMPLETE WITH VISUAL DISPLAY (AT THAT TIME MANILA PAPER LANG IMPRESSIVE NA. HA HA ) AND WAS THE ONLY STUDENT WHO COULD STAND UP AT THE PLATFORM AND DELIVER MY REPORT AS IF I WERE A PROFESSOR MYSELF. SAGOT NG MGA CLASSMATES KO: "EH MA'AM, ANAK NG PROFESSOR YAN EH! SANAY NA YAN TUMAYO SA HARAP!  THEY WERE RIGHT. ----------------- IN THE FOREIGN DIPLOMATIC MISSION WHERE I BELONGED WITH BEFORE. I HAD THE HONOR AND PRIVILEGE OF BEING THE FIRST FILIPINO TO CONDUCT FULL TEACHING TO A HOST OF FOREIGN SERVICE NATIONALS WORLDWIDE. THIS HONOR TOOK ME TO ATHENS, TOKYO, AND THE UNITED STATES WHERE COLLEAGUES AND BOSSES WERE IMPRESSED AT MY ABILITY TO DELIVER CONCISE, COMPLETE, AND INJECT FUNNY ITEMS TOO! LESSONS FROM THE MANUAL.

LostCommand Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Never. But even the rejects and dropouts from my schools, garner honors in other, second-rated schools. Quote Link to comment
tequilasunrise Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 In pre-school I was accelerated from Nursery to Kindergaten 2 and graduated 4th in the class. In elementary - highschool, I was consistently in the top 5 of the class (usually 3rd or 4th). In college, I never got any distinction because I was in the top section of the class, and all of my classmates are either valedictorian and/or salutatorian. Quote Link to comment
