NARR.

Pinatawag ang parents ng ika-6th grade para pagmeeting at i-announce ang mga name of honorees. Pumunta ang nanay ni Karen at ang nanay ng kanyang kapatid na si Tita Apple.

Pagpatak ng alas kwatro ng hapon ay nagsimula ang meeting at sa malaking screen ay naroon ang mga pangalan ng mga mga honorees ng 6th grade. 

The advisers explained how they got the grades of each pupil so that it won't be unfair. The name of the honorees with their rounded average grades are the following:

WITH HIGH HONORS

Karen Montemayor - 95

Julia Ava Solomon - 95

Hamid Angara - 95

Jenson Aiden Casido - 95

WITH HONORS

Vena Mari Chloe Rosario - 94

Karen

Wala kaming maggawa sa classroom ng aking friend na si Yna. So we decided to check if nasa principals office na ba ang parents namin. As we arrived there nakita namin na the meeting is still going on. Andun na din ang aming mga parents sa may front seat. 

Sinilip na min ang screen and i was surprised to see my name on the very top. Nasa With High Honor ako and yung kasama ko naman na si Valentina Flores ay With Honors. I was very glad to see that and the names of the other honorees, naisip kong naging sulit ang paghihirap ko and pushing myself to be more competitive. At least i beat the average of the second With High which is Julia Ava Solomon. Kasali kasi siya sa student council and her mother is teaching here also. For three years she is my greatest rival but nagagawa ko naman yun dahil bumawi ako sa quizzes and exams. I don't really join physical activities and events in school but sinabi ko sa sarili ko na bumawi sa academic so... I made it. I am so proud of myself now but i know my mom is more than proud of it. 

After the meeting ay lumabas na ang mga parents. Some congratulated me and most of all may adviser. I thank God na walang favoritism ang mga teachers dito sa Collegio de San Ignacio so all of it was fair. He congratulated me and my mom. 

After it we, together with my cousin and his mom went home together. Iisang house lang kami. Pagdating sa bahay ay may cousins and other relatives congratulated me kahit wala pa namang graduation.

A/N: Sorry for this short chapter. The next will be graduation and I promise so make it long. Good night!!
