There is no doubt that XII- STEM A are a collection of exceptional students. And it took a whole lot of time and effort spent on studying to be one. More often that we barely have time for leisure and fun. But, we do know how to have fun and rest for a while.

We barely enough time to spend for bonding time with each other. And for this reason we often spend time studying together. Helping each other to cope up with lessons and having fun. Its like hitting two birds with a stone, we learn not just from books and such but also from one another. Our group studies can be described as one where all matters of our lives are discussed but a little of our studies.

Most of the time we like to spend time eating on fastfood restaurants, coffee shops, and even on food stalls with each other. We do this especially after our class hours. Eating together is a common tradition to Filipino families and we are indeed a family. Eating together strengthens our bond and friendship and it is what we like to do most of the time. Eating is also our common ground as a section, who doesn't like eating?. What makes this moments especial is the personal stories we share over our conversations while in a meal.

Of all things, this is the rarest and the most special thing we do as a class. Celebrating one's birthday is absolutely fun and most importantly it brings us together. Birthdays are special in our class because we always make time and effort no matter what the odds are or no matter how demanding school works are. Here for example is the birthday celebration of our fellow STEM A, Earl. On this day everyone was busy preparing a surprise party for her 18th birthday. It was nearly the end of class hours and we agreed that no one would go and greet her, well she was sad. But, when she saw our surprise for her she went in tears, tears of joy at that.
