  My Journey as a Student in Pres. Corazon C. Aquino Elementary School

 

My journey as a PCCAES student began when I transferred there in Grade 1, right when the pandemic hit. Everything was new to me, and at first, I was excited. But as the days passed, online classes started to feel boring and lonely. I missed being in a real classroom, seeing other kids, and talking to teachers face-to-face. I would just sit in front of the screen every day, waiting for class to end.

 

By the time I reached Grade 2, I was supposed to take a test to be placed in a high section class. I was both nervous and hopeful. But unfortunately, the pandemic was still going on, so classes remained online. It was another year of staying at home and staring at the screen. It felt like time was moving slowly.

 

Then Grade 3 came—and things started to change. We finally returned to face-to-face classes, and I felt both excited and nervous. I remember clinging to my parents on the first day, unsure of what to expect. But when I saw my teacher smiling at me and welcoming me warmly, I felt a little braver. I slowly made new friends and discovered something new each day. It felt amazing to finally talk to people, play during recess, and enjoy the classroom experience again.

 

In Grade 4, I was really happy. My teacher that year was so kind and patient, and I loved the way she taught us—especially Science. It quickly became my favorite subject because I enjoyed learning about animals, plants, the planets, and how things worked. I also joined some school activities and enjoyed group work with my classmates. It was one of the best school years I had.

 

When I moved to Grade 5, I started to miss my old friends. Some of them transferred to other schools, and it felt strange not having them around since we had been friends since Grade 1. But I reminded myself that life is all about changes. I made new friends and still had fun in class. I faced some challenges, especially in Math and Filipino, but I tried my best. I even learned how to manage my time better and became more responsible with my schoolwork.

 

Now that I’m in Grade 6, I feel proud of how far I’ve come. I still miss my old friends and teachers sometimes, but I’ve learned to be open to new beginnings. I’m more confident now. I enjoy school, and I’m grateful for everything I’ve experienced—from boring online classes to fun field trips and classroom laughter. I know high school is just around the corner, and even though I feel a little scared, I’m also excited to see what’s next. Being a PCCAES student has shaped me, and I’ll always carry these memories with me.
