Soraia
Tapos na ang klase at papunta ako ngayon sa clubroom namin dahil ngayon ang election namin para sa club organization.
“Nandiyan na pala ang acting EIC natin. Pwede na tayong magsimula.”
Sabi ni Mrs. Garcia pagkapasok ko sa clubroom. Siya ang club adviser namin.
“Ako na lang po ba ang hinihintay? Pasensiya na po,” paumanhin ko.
“Ano ka ba? Okay lang ‘yon ‘no,” sabi ni Ma’am. “Okay guys, settle down so we may start na.”
Nagsi-upo naman kaming lahat.
“Alam niyo naman ang agenda natin ngayong araw. For the new members, I am Mrs. Claris Garcia, the adviser of The Newspectator; the official journalism club of Newtonian Educational Institute,” panimula ni Ma’am.
Nagsabi muna siya ng ilang paalala bago siya bumaling sa akin.
“Let me introduce last year’s assistant EIC, Ms. Maria Soraia Castro. She will be in-charge of the election of our officers,” sabi niya.
‘Di man lang ako na-inform na may ganito pala.
Oh well, it’s my chance to make an announcement.
“Good afternoon. Before we start, I have an announcement to make,” I started.
Napatingin naman sa akin si Mrs. Garcia na parang alam niya ang sasabihin ko. Matagal ko na ‘tong gustong gawin. Last year pa kaso naki-usap si Ma’am sa akin.
“I am signing off as a student journalist of The Newspectator,” I said smiling.
Iba-iba ang naging reaction nila. ‘Yong iba gulat, ‘yong iba nalulungkot, at mayroon din namang walang reaksyon.
“You may ask why, but I just don’t feel my passion for writing. Gusto kong gawin kung ano talaga ang gusto ko, hindi 'yong sinabi ng iba na gawin ko. I want to join a club where I can showcase my skill but at the same time I enjoy myself doing it
“This is my last year in high school. I would like to do what I whole-heartedly want. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my stay here with you guys. I will not forget our moments together,” I added.
Niyakap naman ako ni Ma’am Garcia at ng ibang ka-close kong members.
“I will let you go this time. Susuportahan ka namin sa kahit saang club na gusto mong salihan. Basta ba’t ‘wag mo kaming kakalimutan, ha?” says Ma’am Garcia.
“Thank you po. Pero, pwede po bang ako pa rin ang mag-facilitate ng election?”
“Oo naman. Magsimula na tayo para makauwi na rin kayo.”
I called the attention of the students and proceed to the election.
“We will now start the election of the officers of The Newspectator. The table in now open for the nomination for editor-in-chief.”
The election goes on until the last position filled in. I, then bid my farewell to the club after the election. I have to sign in to my desired club.
Mayroon din kasing meeting ang Newspectators para sa school paper na ipa-publish next month.
Mabigat sa pakiramdam na iwan sila pero kakayanin ko. Para ako naman ang sumaya. May karapatan naman akong unahin ang sarili ko ‘di ba?
Nang makalabas ako ng school building, napatingala ako. Mula rito, tanaw ko ang bahagi ng rooftop kung saan ko balak tumalon noon.
Ang school building ay may limang palapag. Nasa lower ground ang STEM Department, faculty room, at cafeteria. Sa upper ground naman ang mga clubrooms at lobby.
