Yesterday was a big day for the CHOIR, 4TH YEAR AND GR. 6 students! It was the day that we have all been waiting for, we practiced for hours, days and weeks. for this very sacred and momentous event. I was happy to be a part of it for I am a member of the choir, we were asked to assemble at the chapel by 1 pm so that we could still practice for the VESPERS is still at 4 pm. I was really jumpy for I was afraid to really give my all for I know at one point I might lose my voice but with the guidance of Mary, the mother of Jesus, I was able to surpass the challenges accounted before me. I was grateful for the opportunity given to me being part of this celebration, for your information it has been my 5th time attending the VESPERS. I am proud to say that I have given my all even if we as a whole made mistakes we know deep inside that we all have sacrificed and gave our all just to make this very event extra special!
In accordance to the CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION, I was able to experience and see for myself the releasing of 100 DOVES! I was able to see and talk to Sr. Julia,our 3rd Grade C.L.E teacher, I haven't seen her for almost 8 years and she was the one who discovered me in the field of singing. She wanted to find soloists for the song "Mary" and I was pinpointed by my classmates to audition for the part and unbelievably I was chosen and I became a part of the choir by then. It was a blast spending my 8 years serving the Lord by singing! Almost all my batch mates are scared of Sr. Julia for I myself was a testimony to her uniform STRICTNESS but I wasn't really affected by it for I have not experienced at one point being scolded by Sr. Julia. When I saw her I was hysterical, tears wanted to drop from eyes but I stopped it before it could get even worse, I was hysterical for 8 yrs I haven't seen her and from my VERY FIRST years in Assumption she was with me guiding me all along.
Something's change, don't they? I believe that as we grow old things change but there will something be about us to be cherished and remembered forever as for Sr. Julia even though at this point she has grown older and ill but even if that fact remains I will always remember her by the Sr. Julia I was able to love and idolize, the understanding, caring, and compassionate Sr. Julia! ALL HAIL TO OUR BELOVED ASSUMPTION!
HAPPY 100 YEARS AC ILOILO!
