Mary Madison (UNDER EDITING)

Chapter 56

Chapter 56 Moving up

Music fills the whole court surrounded by the students that are wearing their graduation gown with a graduation hat.

Everyone seems happy and excited. Other people were busy taking pictures in their child.

Teachers were smiling watching their students wearing those stuffs indicated that they did it.

I smiled as I hear our graduation song played. Hindi ko akalain na aabot ako sa sitwasyon na to.

Yung may kaibigan akong kasama at masasandalan. Hindi ko akalain na sa 17 years may makikilala akong mga bagong tao na makakatulong sa akin.

After all the hard road that I passed by I'm still lucky cause I have this amazing people surrounded me.

“Are you okay” I lifted my head to my classmates—si Ann.

“Oo naman” Nakangiti kong sabi.

“Para ka na kasing maiiyak dyan” Natatawa niyang sabi. As far as I remember hindi naman kami close pero kung makapag salita siya sakin para close na close kami but somehow I felt that I belong here.

“Masaya lang ako na naka graduate na tayo” Sambit ko she then smiled at me.

Nakatayo lang kami ngayon sa labas ng hall. Maglalakad kasi kami papasok sa hall by pair kasama ang parents namin.

While the others are heading their way to the seats. Inilibot ko naman ang paningin ko para hanapin siya.

Nagulat nalang ako ng may tumabi sa akin. Ngumiti lang siya sa akin.

“Okay lang po ba sila Tito?” Nakangiti siyang tumango.

“I’m glad na akong yung makakasama mong maglakad” Sabi niya, tumawa ako ng mahina.

“Ako hindi” Biro ko pa. Tumingin na ako sa gilid ko ng umalis na ang katapat ko. Nagulat pa ako dahil si Wayne yung nakatabi ko.

Nakangisi pa ito sa akin. Kasama niya naman ang Mama niya.

“Sigurado akong proud na proud sayo ang mga magulang mo” Nakangiti niya sabi, I smiled at him.

Naglakad na rin kami kasabay nina Wayne at nang Mama niya. Funny how I think before that I couldn't experience this kind of event.

Akala ko hindi ako makaka graduate dahil sa sobrang lumo ko nung mawala sina Lola at Lolo.

I realized that thinking that you couldn't do it, you really can't do it. But if your mindset were telling not to give up, you can really do it.

Cause, in order to achieve things you need to start it in yourself thinking that you will do your very best.

That's what I learned from my mistake and my problem. Hindi maayos ang problema ko kung iiyak lang ako sa sulok, I started to have hope when someone is ready to catch me.

When someone is ready to hear your rants and to keep by your side.

Makakatulong ang mga tao sa paligid mo para di ka mawalan ng pag-asa. You, yourself just need to think that you can do it. Be the best version of yourself right now.

“Please proceed now to your seats, We'll now start the ceremony” Anunsyo ng isang guro dito sa school matapos ang lakad.

Umayos na rin ako ng upo. I once roamed my sight to the hall, maraming tao ang narito.

Nakita ko rin si Tito Jayson at iilang magulang na naka upo na sa pinaka dulo kasunod ng mga graduates.

Isa isa na ring tinawag ang mga pangalan namin.
