GRADUATES..

Filipino children enter public school at about age four, starting from Nursery up to Kindergarten. At about seven years of age, children enter a primary school (6 to 7 years). This is followed by secondary school (4 years). Students then sit for the College Entrance Examinations (CEE), after which they enter collegiate school (3 to 5 years). Other types of schools do exist, such as Private schools, Preparatory schools, International schools, Laboratory High Schools and Science High Schools. Also, several nationalities, such as the Chinese, British, Americans, and the Japanese also have their own schools.

The school year in the Philippines starts in June of one year and ends in March of the next, with a two-month summer break for April and May, one week of semestral break (the last week of October), and a week or two of Christmas break.

I have a sad story about GRADUATES.  You know, I was not able to attend during my graduation day in High School for some lonely reasons.  Most people have very happy moments when they think about their high school days.  Well, not me, whenever I think about my high school days, the only thing that would come to my mind is the day when my English teacher and my Principal not allowing me to attend in my Graduation Day.  That’s probably one of the saddest moments that ever happened into my life.  You, what comes up in your mind when hear the word GRADUATES?
