A Class to Remember
The cerulean, melancholic atmosphere is embroidered with fluffy, gray cottons, while the cafeteria in the third floor of the towering Vega center evinces an ebullient day. Indio’s Grill is dark and calm and relaxing, with its poor but romantic lighting, cerise walls, and jazzy soothing music. Yes, this is not the typical UPRHS classroom, but this will serve as the laboratory for Advanced English 2 students.
“I really enjoy the ambience of Indio’s,” I exclaim as I savor the sizzling aroma of the ambrosia in front of me. Platters of grilled goods, crystal glasses of lemonade and saucers of Oreo and blueberry cheesecakes are all scattered in the whole restaurant. The licking tongues, grinding teeth, and enormous mirths are all evident. Even Tj’s gastronomy is extremely noticeable; imagine two plates for one meal!
It is a day of vocabulary words, empty sentences, overloading, and wordiness, but that day is more than grammar and writing. There are more germane truths that transformed our class from a class of knowledge to a class of life. Our hearts are engraved with beautiful words of love, affirmation, and appreciation of life and nature, which become part of our vocabulary. We fill our empty lives with a pack of fresh experiences with our fellow creative writers. We are overloaded with persistent gladness and glee. We also learn that creative writing needs review and reconstruction, as well as life requires retrospect, learning, and control. Thanks to Ms. Samson, our English teacher, for widening this world of language and literature into a world of adventure, of discovery, of life.
Ms. Samson ends the session with words that touched my heart. “May the good Lord envelop you with His love as you live with Him, for others, and for yourself.”
When I arrive home, my spirit was leaping in overpouring laughter, for I realize that that English class of August 9, 2002 is indeed a class to remember.
