Bridgers All The Way

Here's a little something I'd most definitely want my batchmates, Bridge students, to read. I hope you guys don't get the wrong idea upon reading this. I hope everyone who reads this doesn't think of this as a bad thing or such. I do wish the best to everyone. Please feel free to comment and share your thoughts. Maybe PM me on Facebook, DM me on Twitter, add me up on Viber so we can talk?

Dear Bridge students,



What happened to us Bridge people? We used to live a happy life      being with our group of people meant everything before. We would always team up when it came to competing with other batches. What happened to that spirit, to that connection we all seemed to have? What happened to being batchmates?


The fact that all of us are breaking apart only saddens me all the more. Plus, I believe that not one should purely be blamed for all things cuz this is high school. We all make mistakes.

Sure, high school may be hard and challenging at times, but respect is all that we seek here. Honestly speaking, we all wouldn't be like this if it weren't for the administration of the school.

We wouldn't be die-hard academic ninjas with not much of a social life if it weren't for the school. We wouldn't be popular jocks or school queens if it weren't for the school. We would never have been batchmates for no reason if it weren't for the school. We would have such different lives right now if we didn't study here.

Regulars, I know it gets annoying that teachers compare you people to the intensive peeps like us. Well, I believe they mean well. I think it's just their way of telling you guys to look at us and consider us as role models and do good in your studies. Teachers wouldn't want their students to fail cuz it hurts as a mentor to see how your effort is put to waste, how you're supposed to do only one job and fail so badly.

Teachers, adjusting as to the IQ levels of students may get annoying at times especially when you get used to a certain brain-sided kind of people. But that's okay. I understand.

Intensive kids, I can't exactly say that laughing is wrong. I mean, laughing makes us one. If others can't see that, well... They won't and never will understand.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Teachers defend their case. Regulars defend their people. Intensives side with their own group of people. But when you look at it, it is we ourselves who is raging this war. And this is because we refuse to listen, to understand. We refuse to change our point of view and try to see what other people see.

Sometimes, when we say something, others may not understand. Others get confused by this and ask how others cannot understand a thing as simple as this. But it may be something that is hard for them to understand. Not all are inclined to the things we find interesting and fun. Others may have a totally different understanding as to what we say. Others will have that special something that we won't seem to have and that makes up our individuality. You see, no matter how you look at it, no two are exactly the same.

We don't like seeing the bigger picture because what we think we are doing is right. We begin to forget why we are all here. We forget that undeniable reason as to why we all met. So why don't we use this opportunity to ponder what our lives would be without the people we knew to have been and are still our friends. 

Don't you guys see that this is what breaks all of us? I mean, I'm positive that deep inside, we all care. Once we see devastations life brings, we feel something. We don't seem affected; life continues to go on.

It's like the recent typhoon Haiyan, leaving thousands maimed and scarred for life. And this shouldn't be a reason to blame the government on their shortcomings. This should be giving us an even bigger reason to work as one! We are growing to distanct with each other.

People think of different things when girls like me hang out with boys. So why is this? Why do girls have to be so bog-allergic and boys be an anti-girls association? Either way it's because we refuse to talk and listen to the opposite gender. We refuse to understand. And this eventually shows us all how selfish beings people are.

This should be our year. We'll be the first and last batch to be considered 'Bridge'. People won't even call us 'Originals'. But that's what makes us different. This is our year! Shouldn't we be making the most of it? As a whole? I don't mind if you guys won't read this nor would you understand. I understand that our generation isn't one of "long-handed" letters. So much has changed us and we don't even see that. We must move. As. As a whole. As a network. As a group. And always as a team.

Thank you all because life as I know it now will never EVER be the same without you.
