"What a UP student is not"


Many people say that UP students are bright, smart, intelligent, and so on. In fact, if they hear the word UP, it seems like they are shocked or something. Maybe, they think UP is the highest school in earth and that UP students are the masters of the universe and that UP students are head of all. That’s a big mistake! UP students are not the head and masters of the world. They are just ordinary students trained well and taught well. Yes, we are a little advanced but that doesn’t make UP students head of other students in other schools. Maybe they just think that way because they don’t know what UP students really are.

UP students for me, are violators. Yes, we are violators. I can say that because many of my schoolmates, including me, violate the school rules. The rule that most UP students violate is the wearing of ID. Inside the campus, students should wear his or her proper uniform and that includes the ID. But as what I have observed, many students don’t wear they ID. It is also a violation if boys don’t comply the proper haircut. But many of the boys in UP don’t comply the proper haircut and that includes me. UP students are also not allowed to bring cell phones. But many of my classmates and schoolmates bring cell phones in the campus. With that, I can say that UP students are not good followers.

Up students are also copiers. I can say that we are copiers because if we have assignments, we don’t do it at home. We do it at school so that we can copy the answers of our classmates. Up students are also dead liners. Yes. It is true. Whenever we have projects, there are just few students who pass their projects ahead. Most of them pass their work during the deadline and some even pass their projects days after the deadline.

Another is that, UP students are not good in all subjects. In fact, many of us in our classroom are struggling to get a high grade in Mathematics. This really is a hard subject for us. There are also students who are struggling in English. Not all UP students are good in speaking English. Many of us don’t know much in speaking English but we are still practicing and we are doing our best in order to develop our speaking skills. There are also many students especially in the second year who are struggling in the subject, Social Science. When I was in elementary, our social science was very easy but now in UP, it is very hard!

Most of all, UP students are not shameful. In short, we have no shame! In fact, one fourth year student before told me that, if you enter UP, you should have no shame. Before, during my elementary years, I am a shameful kind of guy and I am ashamed to show what I’m really is but as I entered UP, it seems like my face doubled! I have slowly developed and got rid of being a turtle hiding in its shell. I now show people what really Aiden is and what my real attitude is.

Now, think about it. Do you think UP students are that good? You better think twice.
