A battlefield of geniuses.

A long clash of rational brains.

A place where no times an excess.

A suite where youll be trained.

They expect us to do things great.

When we cant, were sure theyll hate.

They say were lazy, always late,

Cant they think the work we have to take?

Say more hurtful words, well shrink.

Say more hurtful words, you cant think.

Blame us everything, well nod,

But when we react, they say were bad.

Please be reminded were humans too.

We feel pain, we feel pressure, we feel you.

We may have odd brains, but hearts are still

We are stressed, but we still have the will.

If life looks you in the eye and tell you, You cant. Lord is holding your

hand telling you, You can.

Kindly keep away everything that is not related to my class.

We quickly clear up our tables that are full of school works in different subjects as what our

teacher said. Its an every day habit for us to cram actually and thats also the

reason why our teachers got mad to us when we do stuffs in different subjects in their time almost

everyday.

Whats that again? Why do you keep on doing things from your different subjects in my

class but you dont do what I require you to do? Dont you care about my subject?

Once again, we witnessed one of our teachers to raise an eyebrow to us. If you only

know Maam, if you only know that our other teachers also said that to us million times

already. This is a daily scenario inside our classroom but still we do it again and again.

Even though our teachers got mad, what can we do, we dont have enough time to

do it because we are filled with assignments, projects, group activities, etc. thats

why we do matters in different subjects in another subject. We admit that

sometimes, well most of the time, the reason why we dont have time to do our

tasks is because we dont do it in the right time. We always say that We have

enough time to do that in other time and thats why we always cram like

tomorrow doesnt exist.

Being in SSC is not really easy as what most of us thought in the first place, but

we cant do anything anymore so we just have to go with the flow and this is

how it flows. School-House-school. People expect more and better from us

and its really a pressure and shame when we disappoint them.

I cant take it anymore. I want to give up being an SSC. Most of us

always say it when were really stressed out and jam-packed of

requirements but here we are. Were still here in SSC because it became

our second home. Even we went through different moments, sad, pain,

struggle, suffering and what so ever that are reasons to give up, we still

find one reason to hold on and that is our happiness while we are here

in SSC.

An extra-ordinary happiness that we only found here with the

people who helped us a lot to be a better person we are now. Even

if everyday will become forever its alright because in the end we know that

well learn something knew. Even if the scenario is just happening again and

again its alright because here in SSC, you wont feel to be one when you

dont feel that one day is everyday.

BEYOND limitations

Even if were not yet eighteen There were thousand moments we had been We stay up all night to finish our works Then stand up early as the morning sun knocks How we wish everything is magic without pain So we could turn back time over again Even if how fast the night changes Well still have enough time to fill all the pages Maybe we keep on making the same mistakes But each of us we know nobody compares Even if were ready to run, tell a lie and act Well still change our minds and will be back We do experience more than this in our lives But were not afraid and were still alive Those sufferings we had been through Truly madly deeply we became strong and true Those moments we shared so happily The irresistible smiles that formed flawlessly We wont forget where we belong and wont leave the rest Coz were half a heart and half a man at best So theyre eyes and mouths are better be shut Because they really dont know about us This is the story of our life as SSCs Stories that are beyond our limitations.

A struggle to success

Arbab Qamar

They said we are the futures hope They said we are a special one

They said we can be good enough Theyre the one who expects from us

They are the pasts learners

They are the presents handlers They are the guide to the futures hope

They are our beloved teachers It is us who makes our own future

But it is them who guides us

Its us who were expected to handle tomorrow

But it is them who fulfil our mentalities Today, I am a sophomore

Its been two years struggling

But I really want some more I want to explore many things Its fighting against your fears

Or being tear off with your tears

You should mock me not For Ive seen every basic things

Logic, Physics, Math, Writing Everything is literally fun

The end is near for those who won So I wont easily give up

We wont give up

Till we succeed This is what we grew up for

To make the world brighter indeed

guilty. ERIKA BACLOR

Feeling tensed, it's so hard to breathe As every night I cry so desperately To put the hurt in the past As I walk in the classroom My heart beats so fast I feel so scared to talk So scared to joke, so scared to walk You dont have it bad Grow up, you're immature! Is what you say Then why am I getting hurt each day...

OUCH. DIANNA SEBLOS

SSC mga tamad yan, SSC may mapasa lang na study okay na, for the sake of compliance lang naman daw yan eh. SSC mayayabang, SSC walang modo

I was there when he said that. I was shocked and an-noyed. The moments of what we did to complete and exemplify

the requirements flashbacked to my mind. And thats the only thing he said? We earned every words, parts and letters of

that study and he dont even care about that?! Weve work hard for that, we read every word of the research that we have

conducted just to make sure that our study is certified and ac-

curate.

We SSCs are creatures of patient, man of virtues and sensual people. Students that also have feelings.

Everything he said was unreal. I hope that the teachers

appreciate the works that we have done for these year. I hope

that they will think before they judge us.

Worthless Is Worth It

Education is nothing when you dont learn anything.

Wednesday. An ordinary day for an SSC student like me. I can feel my

head spinning and my sight whirling as I entered the room like a walking zom-

bie. I can feel the heavy dark bags below my eyes that really wanted to close

and my body that wanted to shutdown.

Hey, did you do our project?

One of my classmates asked me. I just nod as a sign of my answer but

shes still waiting for me to verbally answer her question. I guess she didnt

understand what I meant so I forced myself to look at her and tell the words

she wants to hear.

Yes, I did it. Isnt it obvious with my heavy eyes that I didnt get to bed

and sleep even for a while just to finish it? Please dont ask whats obvious.

I dont want to sound bad but I cant help it because Im not really in the

mood to talk to other people because I dont go to sleep last night and Im not

really feeling well. Its the third time this week that I didnt sleep because of

my school works.

I sat down in my chair, put my head down in my arms, and closed my

eyes and just sleep.

Its already 3 am and youre still awake doing your home works. Why

dont you go to bed for some time and get some sleep? Will you go to school

again without getting enough sleep? You didnt even eat your meal. Im

sending you to school to learn not to torture yourself.

I heard my Mothers voice that made me lift up my head. Am I not in

school? Why is my mother here? Everything is blurred the first time I opened

my eyes but it became clear as I saw my teacher standing in front of us while

my classmates keep on doing the assignments in other subjects.

Why are you cramming again? Dont you have enough time to do

that? Ow thank God that our teacher is very lenient to give us minutes to do

stuffs in other subjects.

No we dont have. We answered in chorus while others seemed to

joke and others seemed to be sarcastic.

Class you know what, its not good that you always cram for those stuffs

because in the long run you wont use any of those. Im not telling you not to do

what you are required to do but class, whats important is what you learn. You

dont go to school to kill yourselves. You dont go to school to cram for those.

You go to school to learn and what you will learn is what will help you. 10 years

from now you will forget all of those, your high grades will not be that im-

portant. In the long run, you wont need that and surely you wont remember

what I keep on telling you.

My teacher stopped talking but I still keep an eye on her and let my ears

opened. I want to listen to every word shell say because what shes saying is

what will help me as always.

Class, remember that one word is enough for wise people and Education

is nothing when you didnt learn anything.

And it felt like that those are the best words Ive ever heard in my entire

life. That happened months ago but until now I cant forget it. Every time that I

feel like giving up, every time I cram, every time I do my school works, theres no

time that those words wont pop into my mind. I remember one day that I asked

myself, Are my efforts all worth it? Or will it all become worthless?

Now that there is just more than a week left in this school year I already

got the answer to that question of mine. Even if all my efforts become so worth-

less, for me it will always have a worth because it made me who I am now. Now

I know that the thing we always thought thats worthless is worth it.
