I'll miss them :)

Wasabe/Puto Team :) 

Being an alumnus of UP Rural High School gives me the opportunity to handle and teach kids during the annual intramurals. We are now in our second year in college and our batch is handling the second year high school students. I am really happy for the opportunity to teach them things and for them to also teach me things. I appreciate their respect for us, their trainers and we are also happy to have them not only as trainees but also as their friend.

We had funny times together and we shared our laughter and tears. It makes me sad knowing that school will start really soon and it will take a long time for us to see each other again. I really love these kids and they are like my little brothers and sisters. I do think that sometimes we spoil them too much because we give them what they want. Being with them in every training I forgot the age gap between us. These kids are aged 14-15 and I am already 18. It makes me feel younger when I am with them and what I like about them is that they don't see us as their trainers but they also see us as their "Kuya" and "Ate" and as a friend.  

The Trainers/Coaches

The Trainers/Coaches with Krizia! 

The way these kids play their game is like they give their heart out. You can see the passion and determination with every dig, set and spike that they do. They are still young yet they have these skills way advance than what we have and I think that they can be better players and coaches someday. Sometimes I think that I don't deserve to coach them or train them because they are better than me and because of the injury that I had suffered, but they never see me as someone not capable of handling them. In fact they even cared for me and they are concerned. They are the ones with me when I was brought to the emergency room. During that time, I did not cry because I want to be strong for them. 

Ivan, Carlo and Marx crying because they lost the elimination round

Though our volleyball boys team lost and ended up in 3rd place, we are still proud of them because they gave a good and close fight against the Seniors. They did not easily give up but instead they put on a fight and challenged their upper class men. They cried their hearts out after the game and I was really sad because Carlo, one of my favorite player was crying his eyes out and telling sorry. I told him that it is not his fault and he does not have to be sad because it was a good game. Ivan, their team captain, also cried really hard and Marx gave a pretty good fight even though in the middle of the game he is suffering from cramps.  

Volleyball Girls MVP, Mikee

It was a different story for our volleyball girls. They had beaten their upper class men and ended victorious and bagging the championship for their batch. The game was pretty good and every point the audience was cheering our team. It was a dream come true for us because the team came second last year and almost got the championship. 

I am really proud and happy for them. They will go a long way, farther than we had gone. They made us feel that we are special and important for them. I am really thankful to have met them. Next year when we meet again, it will be like we never had left training and I am really looking forward for them winning another championship.
