My home...My school...SLU-LHS

Saint Louis University is a Catholic School that was founded in 1911 by the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary that started as a one-room elementary school for local boys. From an elementary school, it has branched out into the High School department and the College department. It is also a college preparatory school since it is a high school. Today, I go to school at Saint Louis University Laboratory High School (SLU-LHS). It was formerly called as Saint Louis University Boys' High School. It became a co-ed institution in 2003. It was primarily located near the elementary school but was relocated in Navy Base, Baguio City.

A school is a secondary home. Our teachers are our secondary parents. From these statements, you can say that SLU-LHS is my home, and my teachers are my secondary parents since I go to school in the said high school. Besides from my friends, I consider everything in my school as secondary. My secondary parents are my teachers, My secondary room is my classroom, and my secondary brothers and sisters are my classmates.

Every time when summer ends, I always look forward to the beginning of the school because I always have a boring time during the last days of summer. I try to think about my old friends and making some new friends; even socialize with the teachers to get on their good side but not to the extent of sucking up to them. I love the times when me and my friends do some of our nonsense in school. We like doing group works together whoever we are grouped with because we already know each other and spent a lot with each other.

Our school has an assortment of students which makes our secondary home very diverse. SLU-LHS offers different clubs which can satisfy the interests of the students. All students of the same interests can easily relate with one another. It is here where we students feel at home with others who we are socialized with. Even if me and some of my friends didn't like a particular club, we joined that club for a reason which I do not know. Because we joined several clubs (more than two) I could not even remember which club I am supposed to attend or not.

Saint Louis University Laboratory High School is my home and my school. No one can ever take that away from me. All the ridiculous things we do and the serious problems that we confront are very special to me. Even if we can not do the things that we want right away, we make sure that we do it as one coalition and we do it before the school year ends. In everything that we do, we do it thoroughly so as to not commit any mistake. If ever there is a mistake, we will see to it that we fix the problem with high precision. I guess that these are all that I have to say about SLU-LHS. After all statements being said, I think that LHS is truly the best high school for me. SLU will be celebrating it's centennial soon which means one hundred years of LHS being a home for thousands of students who went to this institution for their high school years. SLU-LHS. My home. My school.
