iMpReSSioNs 'bOut ASSP

I really don't remember the first time I heard the word ASSP. But I remember how my mom---(I don't know if this word is proper)---pressured me to go into the program.


Ever since I became a junior a high school student, I have always hoped to be one of the LUCKY fellas to join. Many things have been said 'bout the program... And mind you, they are all good. That's why I really can't help but to long for it.


And finally, one cool afternoon---our school principal called me and another classmate of mine who also took the test,to give us the letter from the Ateneo de Zamboanga University.


With shaking hands and palpitating heart, I opened it and read.... It was one of the happiest days of my life!! I GOT IN!!! I"M PART OF THE PROGRAM!!! Thank goodness... My prayers have been answered!!! I don't have to worry 'bout my mom's reaction. I met her and my father's expectation...=)


I have always admired ASSP. Though I don't even have any ideas about it,what's in the program,what we are going to do---I always want to be in it. And here I am... Finally home...



And as expected, the program is great!!! Full of different people,activities,lessons(not just academics, but LIFE as well.) I was given the privilege to meet wonderful people... Wonderful friends... I know it's still quite early to say this, but I'd say it anyway... This is the BEST!!!



A lot of memories have been made... The lakwatsa sessions,tuksuhan,asaran,biruan... Everything has been memorable!!!



And as the old saying goes----"First impression lasts...."
