Evrytime I walk towards home I could pass by a lot of students from different schools and one of which is the school we usually call as our "sister school"(Florencio Urot Memorial National High School). Why "sister school"? It is because our uniform (skirt) looks likely of the same style and color as well. Most students from that school would ask me "From what school are you?". I answer them in a low voice "I'm from up!". Then they would say "Oh really! You must be so intelligent?!". A question which i really find it hard to answer. While others who know me already would say ,"Give way! because a UPian is going to pass". It really feels awkward when they treat me that way. But I admit, Yes! it feels so nice and flaterring everytime i hear them praise me. But, I don't want them to feel and think that I am higher than them. I once thought to myself."Why am i treated this way?".They think that UPians are always like this and like that. But one thing I could say is that we Upians have some characteristics which you might think we are but all i can say is that you're wrong. I will tell you some of the characteristics which we UPians are NOT.
First. A Upian is not a QUITTER! Yes! A true UPian does not quit easily. There are these instances that we are so pressured already by many school works like projects, tests/quizzes, assignments or these activities and presentations which we really find hard to give ample time to prepare. Then, he/she could say,"It's really hard to be a UPian!I (we) want to quit!".But that would only be until words.
Second. A UPian is not a NERD. People may say that aUPian is a nerd. I'll tell you a UPian may be called intelligent and chosen ones but I don't think so he/she studies that much (like everyday). Because as far as I know that aUPian studies only when there are examinations.(haha!) Yes a UPian studies a lot especially when there are examinations of course to get good grades but a Upian knows how to balance his/her life. That we give time to relax from all the stress and somehow enjoy our teenage life.
Third.A UPian is not only intelligent but is also talented. A UP student does not only excel academically but he/she also has the talent to be proud of. These students aren't only giftend with the minds but with talents as well.
Fourth. A UPian is not RICH. Most UP students really come from poor families and are lucky or shall i say fortunate enough to get the chance to study in this school which people call as "poor but deserving students". But, as far as some people are concerned that there are many students coming from rich families that have "invaded" this said to be a "democratized" school. And even some of this students have been given the chance to have scholarships than those who are really less fortunate in life.(Pathetic truth)
And most of all, a UP student is not that PERFECT. I, you, we, everyone commits mistakes.Right?! So as we UPians do commit mistakes too. A UP student does not know everything in short we are not perfect. There are subjects wherein we find it diifficult. But it doesn't mean that we donot deserve to stay in UP because out of the thousands of applicants who tried their very best to enter this school but we were really the ones chosen.So it means that we have our good in some ways and we are good in several fields but not everything.
